Santa Claus is coming to town! The Cross Plains Optimist Club is sponsoring a drive-through Santa visit! Santa will take a tour of the village courtesy of the Cross Plains Fire Department at 9am (the route passes by our school playground twice, so feel free to come here to try and get a glimpse!) and then will be at the American Legion at 10am for a drive through event.

If your family is looking for a way to support other local families this Christmas season, consider supporting this great cause!

We did it! We sold $190,000 worth of gift cards last month and raised over $11,500 for our school. Students and staff had a great time meeting Bucky Badger and participating in the field day activities! Check out this cool drone video captured by one of our grandparents that day.

Our Girls on the Run & Heart & Sole Teams came together for an awesome practice 5K last week. Their season wraps up this weekend with the outdoor 5K Race in Waunakee. Good luck girls!

Another great opportunity to support St. Francis Xavier!  Take advantage of extra bonus $ when you purchase scrip gift cards online November 18 &19!

The Diocese of Madison is sponsoring a presentation (St. Therese Lecture) for parents on November 16th about gender identity issues. All of our Catholic School parents are invited to attend.

The 6th grade class had a wonderful two days at Bethel Horizons last week despite some cold and wet weather. They participated in several team building activities that tested them physically and mentally. They also got to set goals and challenge themselves on the high ropes course.

Our 4K-2nd grade students got to visit Enchanted Valley Acres on Friday,
October 15.

Even though the weather was a little rainy, the students had a great time.

Special thanks to all of the teachers and parent chaperones that made the trip such a great success!

Our students joined Catholic School students across Wisconsin in praying the rosary at 9am on Wednesday morning. We gathered in the Church where select students each represented a bead of the rosary. As we prayed together each student took a turn leading us in the prayer and lighting a candle.

Special thanks to the Cross Plains - Berry Fire Department for visiting school this week to talk to students about fire safety. Students enjoyed seeing the fire truck and watching their teachers put on all of the fire fighter gear!
