 During
the month of January, the children will be very
busy. The
 Home-School
Executive Board has planned the pajama party for
the girls and boys’ night for the boys. I know
the children are looking forward to both special
events.
 The
children in grades 1 to 8 will begin preparing
for Mid-Term Exams. The second quarter ends on
Friday, January 30th. Shortly after
the quarter ends, report cards will be sent
home.
 Catholic
Schools Week begins on Sunday, January 25th.
This year, Fr. Matthew will celebrate the 9:30
a.m. Mass for all the children and their
families. In keeping with the theme “Celebrate
Service”, all grades will collect hats, scarves
and gloves for the less fortunate men and women
in the South Bronx. The sisters in our convent
will distribute everything donated by the
children. This project will be spear-headed by
the eighth grade. Let’s all lend a helping
hand. In addition, I will be sending home a
letter with all the Catholic Schools Week
activities.
Even though January is typically a cold and
bleak month of the year, at St. Francis Xavier
School it’s warm and fun! |

Happy
New Year,
