St. Pius X School Bulletin

Dear Parents and Guardians,

We would like to thank our dedicated Teacher Appreciation Team for making last week so incredible! We had more meals and treats than we could count, stocked lounges with drinks and food, a pep rally, wish list items for their classroom, flowers, t-shirts, car detailing by CR Mobile Detailing, and thoughtful notes from students and families. It is truly humbling to have this level of attention, kindness, and generosity, and support at St. Pius X.

A very special thanks to Alisha Deao and Kacy Termini for planning the best pep rally! All of the school decorations were set up by Megan Kelley, Rachel Loper, Kacy Termini, Ally Kelley, Martha Kelley, Darci Hoff, Michael Brennan and Kimbra Mavis. We'd also like to thank those who donated funds and who gifted their time and volunteered for the cafeteria shifts for the teacher luncheon.

And last but not least, the leader of the Teacher Appreciation team, Jen Kerckhoff and her family for devoting so much time, energy, and resources to ensure our staff feels more special than any other school out there. From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you!

The Yearbook signing will be on tomorrow at 2pm in the gym. We have extra copies if you did not already purchase one for $40. Please call the school office to reserve a copy.

The Yearbook committee is having a Yearbook Cover Contest. Students can see Mrs. Haws or Ms. Wilson to get the cover dimensions for their artwork. All designs are due on Wednesday, May 14th.

We are also having our Spirit Shirt Contest for the 2025-26 school year. The theme is, "Defenders of the Faith for 70 years". Any students interested in submitting their design, must turn into the front office by Friday, May 16th.

All things in Christ,

With great joy and hope, we welcome the news that the Church has a new universal shepherd. We give thanks to the Holy Spirit for guiding us in this sacred moment for the Church and the world.

Pope Leo XIV begins his ministry today as the Successor of Saint Peter, called to strengthen the faith of believers and to lead us with love, wisdom, and humility. Let us unite in prayer for him, that the Lord may strengthen him and that the Blessed Virgin Mary may accompany him each day.

May his pontificate be a time of renewal, unity, and deep faith for the whole Church.

Come, Holy Spirit!

Joyfully upholding “all things in Christ” by promoting academic excellence, personal responsibility, and diversity.
