We would like to thank you, our families, for your partnership in helping us maintain the stability of a normal school day today. The environment we are blessed with at Xavier (and in our Xavier Catholic Schools) reflects the power of that partnership and is yet another example of what makes our school different. Because of that environment, 99 percent of our students were comfortable enough to come to school and channel their energy and focus on their final exams today. We thank the officers from the Cedar Rapids Police Department who stopped to check in our school during the day.
We also thank our students who provided additional perspective and leadership in collaborating with school administrators and staff. This shared trust is part of a foundation from which we work hard to help build future leaders and inspire students to be saints in the world.
