Principal's Message Ms. Cameron's 2nd grade In the photograph above, you can almost feel the movement happening and you can imagine what the gym sounds like at this moment captured in time. When each class enters the gym, they have a prayer before class, and the rules of the gym are visibly posted. This week, we were blessed to be able to come together with the entire Rochester Catholic School system at Lourdes High School for Mass with Bishop Quinn in their gymnasium. It made me think about all of the ways that our students learn, grow, and live out their faith at St. Pius X School. While observing physical education class at our own school, it reinforced to me that while the gym is a space, it is our student body who truly makes up our school. We can pray together and celebrate the Eucharist or play and exercise, with both building community, excellence and character. May God be with you Always,
Dave Jenson
St. Pius X Principal

We are excited to have so many families already registered to join us. We will be sending out an email with race day details as we get a bit closer to the event. While the t-shirt orders have now closed, we will still take registrations through the day of the race. We are still in need of someone to serve as a crossing guard during the race, as well as volunteers for setup and tear down. If you are able to help please reach out to Megan at chair.sphsa@gmail.com. If you are interested in volunteering, we have options available every day in the lunchroom or various days in the school library. In order to volunteer, you must have completed a Virtus safe environment training within the past five years and have an up to date background check completed. Please contact Mrs. Hyke in the office if you need help getting signed up for either Virtus or to have a background check. Thank you! When picking up your child in the afternoon from After School Care, please call our Google Voice number at 507-218-7873.
