Principal's Message Kindergarten Students We are so excited for our inaugural St. Pius X HSA Fun Run tomorrow with the festivities kicking off at 9 AM in front of the Door 1! The weather looks great and it is fantastic that we have so many families able to participate. Parking is available at Gloria Dei Lutheran Church and in the St. Pius X Church parking lot across 14th St NW. Please do not park in the shared church/school lot by Doors 4 or 5 so that we avoid any traffic along the fun run route. A special thank you to Meshbesher & Spence as our Platinum sponsor; our Gold sponsors which include Advanced Financial Consultants, the Jeff & Marnie Bigler Family, Meyer Outdoor Services Inc, and TLS Companies. These sponsors allowed for all our students to receive a shirt at no cost, which was fantastic today for our school spirit day. Finally, look for event photos on our school instagram account, st.piusxschool, throughout the day tomorrow! May God be with you Always,
Dave Jenson
