Spring Blood Drive, March 25
The St. Pius X Spring Blood Drive will be held on campus this Thursday, March 25. Our student response has been strong and we are hopeful of meeting our goal of 120 scheduled appointments. Students age 16 and over can participate and earn a Work of Mercy. We are still in need of a few parent volunteers to assist at the Drive.  If you are interested, or have any questions about the Blood Drive, please email.  To see the sign up genius link, click here.
Spring Coke Sale Pick-up, March 27
The Spring Coke Sale pick-up is this Saturday, March 27, from 12:00 - 4:00 p.m. You will need to load your own order, but there will be volunteers to help locate orders and direct traffic.  If your student needs a Work of Mercy Choice Project, sign up here to help.  All orders left after 4:00 p.m. will be moved up on to the sidewalk, but unattended.  We cannot be responsible for orders left after 4:00 p.m.
