Totes2Tots Collection Underway
Help St. Pius X support
Totes
2
Tots! Last year, St. Pius X and OLA School donated over 200 backpacks, luggage, and small
totes. Let's break that record!
An estimated 8,500 children from infants to teenagers are in the foster care system in Georgia. Many of these kids shuffle their belongings in garbage bags. Let's help them feel good about themselves. Before you throw out that old backpack, consider donating it to this wonderful program. St. Pius X Catholic High School and the Alumni Office will be collecting new and slightly used backpacks and small suitcases. Donations can be made by dropping off the bags at the front office or the Donnellan Center (Advancement Office). The drive takes place in January, but we're starting early so clean out those closets!

Welcome to NHS Tutoring
Are you struggling with a subject or need help understanding a tricky concept in a class? Just fill out the request for tutoring form below. NHS tutoring is dedicated to giving back to students by students who understand the same struggles.
We offer these services so that any Pius student who has a hard time with a particular class can come and sign up to receive tutoring from a member of our National Honor Society.
Each member has signed up to tutor in a subject in which they excel to help others succeed in the classroom and are doing so on their own time. That said, please keep in mind that this is student-to-student tutoring, not a professional tutoring service. Please consult Study Support or the subject-area teacher if you need professional tutoring resources.
Once the request for tutoring form is submitted, you
will be paired with an NHS student tutor. Shortly after, you will receive an e-mail from your tutor to figure out when/where to meet and what materials need to be reviewed or explained. To request services, click here.

Changes Coming to Publix Partners Program
One of the top funding vehicles for the St. Pius X Home and School Association (HSA) is going through some changes.
The Publix Partners program, which has contributed over $122,364 to the HSA since the program's inception, plays a significant role in funding the many programs sponsored and managed by HSA.
Beginning
September 30, you will no longer be able to use your Publix key chain tag as Publix is moving to a system which will require shoppers to enter their phone number at the checkout stand. In the meantime, please continue using your Publix key tag when you shop at their stores.
To continue your support of St. Pius X through participation in this program you will need to go to the
Publix website and select the log-in tab. If you already have an account, you will need to make sure you have selected St. Pius X as your partner school. If you don't have an account, you will have to create one and assign St. Pius X as your partner school.
Not only will you be able to continue supporting the St. Pius X Catholic High School HSA, but you'll gain access to some great digital coupons!
