New: Picture Retake Date Change
Picture retake day (previously scheduled for October 11) has been moved to Thursday, November 10th, 9:15am - 12:00pm.
Action Item: Community Service Day - ALL Students Must be Registered!
Xavier High School’s annual Community Service Day is November 9, 2022. This is a wonderful day of service for our Saints out in the community.

All students must be registered by their parents in order to participate.
 
Parents need to complete their student(s) registration for Community Service Day - Deadline was Monday, October 3, please complete form ASAP if you have not already!
 
Please also consider joining us as a parent driver for the day! This day is not possible without the volunteers who are willing to drive our students. It is a great day of service and fun! *We are in need of extra drivers this year due to buses being unavailable. 
 
For families with siblings, please complete this form for EACH STUDENT.
Reminder: Service Requirements
Throughout the past month, students heard about the graduation service requirements in their theology classes. As a reminder, the graduation requirement is fifteen hours each sophomore, junior and senior year for a total of forty-five hours. Students have access to the Stewardship and Service Canvas page that contains all important information including the form to log their hours. Important information can also be found at https://xaviersaints.org/service.

Please contact Mrs. Zeckser at laura.zeckser@xaviersaints.org if you have any questions.
Reminder: Making an Impact for ALL Xavier Catholic Teachers!
The Xavier Foundation is gearing up for another xceptional Xavier Impact Fund - Parish Outreach season! The appeal will begin next weekend, Saturday, October 9 – Sunday, October 10 and Saturday, October 15 – Sunday, October 16.

New this year is that all money raised will go to benefit ALL of our Xavier Catholic School TEACHERS (PK-12)!

We are still looking for a few great volunteers across our parishes to help us with this effort. The continued success of the appeal is due to the leadership and support of our wonderful parish volunteers. If you would like to help volunteer, contact Amy Thuente at 319.378.4571 or athuente@xavierfoundation.org in the Foundation Office for further details.

Reminder: Extra Yearbooks
If you did not purchase a 2021-2022 Yearbook, extras are available for purchase! A $70 check can be made out to "Xavier High School" or "Xavier Yearbook" and can be dropped off at the office or in Mrs. Phillip's classroom to receive a yearbook.

For any questions, please contact Mrs. Lauren Phillips at lauren.phillips@xaviersaints.org
