Tomorrow is our SPX Earth Day Celebration.  All students are asked to dress according to the weather since many of the activities have been planned for the outdoors.  It is going to be colder and windy.  The original plans are for a picnic lunch and Mass outside.  Tomorrow is also a $1.00 Jeans Day.  Remember to wear a green shirt, a St. Pius t-shirt or an earth tone shirt.

If you guessed  Baby Lucas, you made the wrong choice!  Our St. Pius X families came through once again showing our pride and determination in helping others with 698 pounds so far.  This is awesome St. Pius!

 

The truck came yesterday to pick up our donations so far and the driver shared that the people from the Cherry Street Mission were waiting for him to get back because they were all so anxious for our clothing and donations.   

 

Tuesday, May 1, the truck will be back picking up the rest of our donations.   Please try to get a bag of unneeded clothing together to help out this worthy cause.  We would love to have 100% participation.   

 

 

As part of our May Crowning tradition, all students in the eighth grade were encouraged to write an essay entitled "What Mary Means to Me."  The top four winning essay writers become the court for the crowning and the student receiving the most votes, as judged by the faculty, has the honor of crowning Mary. This year the May Crowning courts consists of  Ema Fish, Gregory Fretti, Briana Palmer and Abbi Weber.  Abbi Weber will be carrying the crown and Tvisha Martin has earned the honor of crowning Mary at our 8:30 AM school Mass on Wednesday, May 2.

Congratulations to Tvisha and all the members of the May Crowning Court!

 

 

This week we honor our school secretaries, Mrs. Jagielski and Mrs. Jagodzinski.  Stop by the office and give them each a big 'thank you' for all they do for SPX and all of you!
