St. Pius X School is dedicated to a Catholic education that provides students the academic tools they will need to choose any future they want. These tools are a combination of knowledge, inquiry, problem solving skills and effective study habits that will serve students throughout their lives.

Please come and explore our newly remodeled Preschool for 3 to 4 years olds AND Prekindergarten for 4-5 year olds. Contact dfarewell@stpx.org for registration information.

We have entered into the holiest of days, beginning on Palm Sunday, Holy Week is a time to reflect on the passion, death and resurrection of Jesus. I’d encourage you to participate in some of our offerings this week, such as attending our Wednesday all school Mass at 9 am, our Holy Thursday reflection lunch beginning at 11:30 am, and the 8^th graders Passion Play at 10:30 am on Good Friday. This is a chance to come together, especially prior to our spring break.

Our 8^th grade girls volleyball team played hard against Villa Academy but lost in the final game. Villa went on to beat St. Anne’s in the finals on Sunday. Please make sure to let our team know how well they represented our school during playoffs!

Last week, our Middle School math teacher, Mrs. Van Hollebeke informed me she will be leaving St. Pius X School to begin a new career as a bookkeeper for an Alaskan fishing company. Mrs. Van's last day at St. Pius is this Friday, April 19.

Beginning Monday, April 29, we will have Mr. Greg Carson as our long-term substitute in Middle School math & 8^th grade homeroom for the remainder of the school year. Mr. Carson has substituted a number of times at St. Pius and did his student teaching work this past fall at St. Matt's as a middle school math teacher. Prior to teaching, Greg worked in the business world, and has volunteered for decades with kids as a baseball and softball coach. He is excited for this opportunity to join the St. Pius X community.

*Please continue to sell the Raffle tickets!*

Final notice! St. Pius X Track: Attention all 3^rd through 8^th graders, our track team will be starting up soon! Open to all abilities, we are thrilled to have Ms. Andrews as our head coach and our x-country coach, Coach Scott, work with our distance runners. This is your final chance to sign up.

May you all have a joyful Easter and restful break.

Peace,
Mrs. Farewell
