Dear Parents,
         
          The children in grades 1 to 8 presented their Science Fair Projects on Tuesday, February 5^th.  Parents were invited to an assembly recognizing the good work by each student.  Ribbons were awarded to all the winners.
 
          On Saturday, February 9^th, the second grade children received First Penance.  The children were all smiles at the end of the service.  During the Lenten season, beginning on March 6^th, Ash Wednesday, the children will be encouraged to do works of kindness and service.  The teachers will be discussing with the children ways they can be helpful to others.  This is the time to grow in faith and love.
 
          Beginning March 19^th, the school children will be selling candy to raise money for air-conditioning in the classrooms.  Support the school by buying a candy bar.  As always, the Home-School Executive Board will be planning fun activities for all the children.
 
          Spread the good news about our school.  Remember St. Francis Xavier is “A School You Can Believe In.”
 
                                                                   Stay Warm,
                    
                                                                   Mrs. Deegan
