Welcome back students and faculty! It’s hard to believe but

it’s that time of year again—the beginning of yet another

school year. There’s plenty of excitement ahead of us this

year: new teachers and friends to meet, new books to read

and new skills to master. Time for the carnival, sports and a

lot of other events. We hope that you had a relaxed, fun-

filled summer, and are thrilled to see so many new faces! For

those who are new, welcome to St. Xavier; for our returnees,

welcome back! It would be great if you could show your

support in the school by attending the upcoming carnival

and sporting events. We hope you enjoy your school year!

WELCOME BACK TO SCHOOL!

ELECTION RESULTS

This year the Yearbook Staff is going to continue the mystery

person mini game. Like last year it’s a game that anyone can

play as long as you are a student of St. Xavier School.

In this game anyone has an opportunity to ―Guess Who’’

the mystery person is. In addition, if anyone can guess the right

answer, he/she will be able to claim a prize. For more informa-

tion just ask Mrs. Fowler.

Place your guesses in the box that is located in the computer lab

by the door. One winner will be selected at the end of every

month.

A person who likes the color green, has two sisters

and has been working as a teacher for 11 years and

has a height of 5” 1’.

A Pre-school Thanks

The Pre-school Classrooms would like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one who

donated money at the 2011 Auction for our ever-so-needed new windows. Not only are they beautiful

and make such a difference in our rooms but our screens keep out the flies, bees, wasps, bats, cats, etc.

No words can express our gratitude. If you come by our rooms to see our beautiful window you will also

see the BIG smiles on our faces. Thank you so much for you generosity.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Murphy, Mrs. Rubash, Ms. Tanguay, and Mrs. Whitaker
