Lost and Found

Our Lost and Found (located upstairs in the School Office) is overflowing, please stop by and take a moment

to look for missing items.

All items left over Christmas vacation will be donated.

Contemplate the Mystery of God

We cannot see God with our physical eyes nor can we find God through the logic of reason. The more we try to see God with

our physical eyes or find God through logical analysis, the more we will fail. We will become increasingly frustrated

and God will become more distant to us. To see the extraordinary ordinariness of God is to see with a different set of eyes,

the eyes of the heart and to know God by a different logic, the logic of love.

The way to contemplate the mystery of God’s humble love, according to Francis,

is in the Eucharist.

—from the book The Humility of God: A Francis-

Happy Thanksgiving!

Dear SPX Families,

I am pleased to announce that St. Pius X Catholic School is participating in the Catholic Schools Sweepstakes spon-sored by Catholic Life Insurance. This annual program has helped Catholic schools raise more than $8 million.

How does the program work?

Catholic Life provides all prizes & marketing materials at no cost to us. The grand raffle prizes include a 2020 Ford F-150 truck; 2020 Ford Focus sedan or a $20,000 prepaid VISA card. Additionally, one St. Pius X ticket holder will win a $1,000 Prepaid VISA Card.

Students sell the tickets for $5.00 each and all monies go directly and immediately to St. Pius X Catholic School. The winning tickets will be drawn on February 14, 2020.

Will you help me raise $30,000? My wish list items to be purchased include:

• 32 additional Chromebooks for classrooms

• 2 Chromebook carts for proper charging & safe keeping

• A recess bag for each grade level containing jump ropes, frisbee, foursquare ball, soccer ball, & basketball

• A large Lego wall for STREAM

• Remaining funds will go towards artificial turf for our Sports Complex With your help we can make this possible! I’m asking each family to sell at least 40 tickets. Find creative ways to sell tickets to your family, friends, coworkers, and neighbors. Students are even allowed to sell tickets after all St. Pius X weekend masses. Tickets must be turned in by January 31, 2020. If you need additional tickets, contact Mindy Hughes in the school office. As always, thank you for your commit-ment to Catholic education and for supporting our great school!

Blessings,

Jenny Kerr
