Greetings! "Tis the season to be..." In the hustle and bustle of the season, it is often easy to overlook those that are closest. At St. Pius X, we are blessed with what I would call "everyday angels." These are the people who lend a hand, an ear, a smile and the occasional ice-pack each and every day.  Father Whalen, Father Lehner, Vicki Jagielski and, Sue Jagodzinski are our very own "everyday angels." They tend to our children from tallest to  smallest with a warmth of heart that truly creates the family spirit we are so lucky to share. I would like our children to present them with a token of  appreciation for all they do, both the noticed and not, this Christmas. I know times are tough and we all feel the pinch, especially this time of year, so I am asking you to give what you can. This is not a dollar jeans day or mandatory collection. All I ask is that if you are able, please send any monetary donation in a sealed envelope to my attention by Dec. 13th. I will purchase a gift for each of our angels which the students will present on Friday, December 16th after our faculty lunch. Your kindness and generosity are truly appreciated.   Wishing you all the joys of Christmas.   My friendship, His peace, Susan M.  Richardson St. Pius X Catholic School Principal
