New: Community Retreat Day
Thank you to XHS Campus Ministry and all our visitors, teachers and staff who helped facilitate various pieces of our first ever Community Retreat Day today! The day featured a nuke'em tournament, breakout session discussions, a keynote speaker, service projects, inflatables, and a provided lunch. Our goal for the day was to help our Saints grow in friendship with one another and to dig deeper into their faith. We ask you to encourage your student(s) to share meaningful things they took away from today and to share feedback within their community houses about how we can continue to deepen the impact of this event. A special thank you to XPX for providing lunch for our teachers/facilitators today too!
Reminder: Progress Reports
We value the academic success of all of our students here at Xavier as well as the success of all of our activities. As a means of maintaining consistency and keeping up with academics, we are implementing progress report grading the first Monday of each month. A reminder that those kids who receive an "F" on the progress report will be academically ineligible for 7 calendar days starting on the first Wednesday of the month through the following Tuesday. Make sure to work with your kids and have your kids work with their teacher to get assistance in their academics. Kids should also communicate with their coaches and moderators if they miss practice in order to receive academic assistance.  
Reminder: Xavier Impact Fund Parish Appeal - Starts This Weekend at Most Parishes
The Xavier Impact Fund parish outreach begins this weekend at most of our partner parishes (outreach at Immaculate Conception, St. Jude, and St. Wenceslaus will take place October 2-3 and October 9-10 Masses.) In addition to the three key areas XIF will support (family financial assistance, teacher endowment, and faith & academic advancement), we remain committed to our partner parishes so we are happy to announce that every dollar raised above a parish’s goal will go directly back to the parish to be used for the parish’s greatest need! There are many changes to the campaign due to COVID-19 to keep our volunteers and donors safe, so please watch your mailbox for a commitment card that can be either dropped off after mass with a volunteer outside the main doors, or mailed in at your convenience. 

How can you help? Volunteer at your parish during the parish outreach weekends. Be sure to wear your Xavier spirit gear on these weekends and help spread the word about the impact Catholic education has had on your family.
