Dear Parents,

Today I'm proud to share a video that our teachers filmed and produced this past week.  It showcases the technology made possible with your help through the Home and School Association.  St. Francis Xavier School is blessed with great teachers, parents, students, and educational tools.  Together, our school is a dynamic and effective place for students to learn and grow.

Enjoy!

Nathan Wright
