Rev up your holiday spirit, turn on your Christmas lights, and come out to the curb to welcome Santa as he tours the Village of Cross Plains--courtesy of the Cross Plains Berry Fire Department and Chief of Police Tony Ruesga. If you live outside the village you are most welcome to watch from the St. Francis Xavier campus.

The Friday before Thanksgiving will be especially hard for us this year, as it is traditionally the day we host the Thanksgiving Meal for all school families. As one of our favorite school community traditions, we are saddened by this. But if 2020 has taught us anything, it is that we need to rely on our faith and be grateful for the many gifts we have. We hope you reflect on your blessings this Thanksgiving and know how grateful we are for each of you.
