The Annual school’s auction
is to benefit our school. Each
class chooses a theme for a
basket. Students donate
items or purchase with class
funds in hope to have the
best basket and raise the
most money for the school.
The proceeds will go toward
things such as getting new
windows or fixing the heat-
ing system. It also will go to
help teachers get needed
items to teach hands-on ac-
tivities, and help keep com-
puters in tip-top condition.
We appreciate all the help
and donations that will be
raised to help our school.
Thank you for caring! Hope
to see you there this year
and in the years to come.

The mission of St. Xavier Catholic School is to educate the whole person—body, mind
and spirit—in Christian values in accordance
with our Catholic faith tradition.

Lent is 40 days long and it’s a time period that you either give up something or
add something better in your life to make you closer to God. Most kids don't like
the idea of Lent because it means they have to give up one of their favorite things
like chocolate, video games or something else. Instead of doing that all the kids
can do is being nicer to their sibling. Even kids can change how they act during
the time of Lent. Lent is from Ash Wednesday to Easter which isn't that long. ☺
Our Lenten Journey
Here are some things that our students and staff had given up or
added to their lives for Lent:

The purpose of the St. Xavier dress code is to provide a uniform appearance, to promote
school identification, and to encourage pride and responsibility in personal appearance.
All parts of the uniform must be neat and clean. Any uniform that is tattered, torn, print
-marked or stained must be replaced at the discretion of the principal. These require-
ments are in effect during school building hours (7 a.m. – 3:10 p.m.). The administration
reserves the right to determine dress code violations not specifically covered below and
send students home to change. Absence from school because of dress code violations is
considered unexcused.

How was your spring break? We asked some of St. Xavier’s student
body and faculty to see how they spent their spring break!
―I seeded my lawn, cleaned up my flower bed. Delivered trip-
lets—goats.‖ -Mrs. Millard,
―I went skiing in Steamboat, Colorado! Lots of fun! I did bet-
ter than last year. I got an amazing hat; it’s super colorful!‖
-Kim Keating, 9th
―I took the time to visit family. We went out and ran
around town and hung out. We played Dance Central!‖
Adam Whitaker, 11th
―Break? You call that a break? I’m remodeling.‖ -Mrs. Fowler
―I went to Prairie Band Casino with my husband, and won over a thousand dol-
lars! I cleaned out my cabinets and I’m now getting ready for my sister and her
family to move here this week!‖
-Melanie Powers, Lunchroom
―Over spring break, I went to wildcat creek to do batting cages and mini-golf. The
batting cages kept getting clogged. So me and my brother had to go inside to get
someone to get the batting cages unstuck. Other than that, I stayed home and
played video games.‖
-Caleb Corlett
―I had my bestest friend over and we went and
played in the creek, where we found a baby snapping
turtle that we named Grr! We went back down and found a
nest of snakes, and then I went to her house! Then I went
to Kansas City and got a cute dress!‖ -Lené Keating, 11th
