In the universe in creation,

We can’t thank everyone enough for helping make our virtual Celebrate 2021 a phenomenal success! We are so incredibly blessed by your support and generosity! We anticipate sharing financial results very soon.
We’ve had some requests to share the list of staff “causes” that weren’t satisfied that night under Cookies for a Cause. If you would still like to support specific staff requests, click here to see what items are still available from “Cookies for a Cause”—this is a list of specific staff “causes” that donors can satisfy. It is a great way to support a specific teacher or area of interest. Simply contact your campus office to make the associated donation to satisfy a specific item request; these are satisfied on a first-come, first-served basis. The deadline to support this area is February 17, 2021.
We’ve also have had some requests to share the livestream link in case you didn’t get a chance to watch the program live. If you would like to view the video from that evening, please go to bit.ly/xaviercelebrate2021.com to view.
Thank you once again for your generosity of time, talent, and treasure in support of Celebrate 2021!
