St. Pius X Swimmers! by Jennifer Crosley |  The sport of swimming is not as poplular as some of the other sports here at St. Pius, like football and basketball. Most people think that swimming is just for fun, but there are five students here at St. Pius that choose competitive swimming as their all time favorite sport. The youngest swimmer is Jacqueline Gwinn in 1st grade. She has been swimming for three years with the Lincolnshire Sharks. Jacqueline enjoys swimming very much and her favorite stroke is freestyle. The next swimmer is Robbie Adler in grade four. He has been swimming for a year now, also with the Lincolnshire Sharks. Robbie picks breast stroke and freestyle as his favorite strokes. Hannah Crosley is our thrid swimmer who is also in the 4th grade. She has been swimming for five years. In the summer, Hannah swims for the Lincolnshire Sharks and in the winter she swims for the Sylvania Tsunami. She also picks breaststroke and freestyle as her favorites. Alex Adler, in grade five, has been swimming for five years also. She swims for the Sharks in the summer and the Tsunami in the winter. Her favorite strokes are butterfly and freestyle. Finally, myself, Jennifer Crosley. I have been swimming for 10 years and for seven of those ten years I have competed on various teams. I swim for the Sharks in the summer and the Tsunami in the winter. This spring I look forward to swimming for the CYO Middle School team. My favorite strokes are breast stroke and freestyle. |

Author Visit - Steven Michael Harris | |
This past week grades fourth through eighth had the pleasure of learning that writing can be fun and that every one has the power to produce quality writing. Steven Michael Harris used multiple items in his 'life trunk' to inspire the students about his life and writing. His topic, "Embracing Writing in School and Life" hopefully made a lasting impression on all of our students. Please ask your child/children about some of the highlights that Steven Michael Harris presented. |
| Prayer Request | |
Please remember in your prayers the Eisigner family on the recent loss of their grandma, Paula Letke. Mrs. Letke was a longtime member of St. Pius X Parish and also a very active support member of St. Pius X School both as a mom and grandma. We will all miss her. May she rest in peace! |

Lights, Camera, Auction was a Success! | |
Thanks to all of our St. Pius families and friends, last year's "Lights, Camera, Auction" was a huge success.
Although this year's celebration is not until February 25, it is not too early to plan ahead. As many of you will be venturing out in the upcoming weeks displaying your 'black Friday' skills and techniques, please consider our celebration this year. A Christmas Basket filled with goodies, A Building Block Basket filled with legos, Lincoln Logs, etc. or maybe an Italian Feast featuring olive oils, a pasta machine, bread mixes. The sky is the limit!
