Dear Parents,

ROGERS NOTE FROM PRINCIPAL ROGERS

What a wonderful month May is for Catholic Education!

We began the month with our beautiful May Crowning and live Rosary, honoring our Blessed Mother something especially meaningful given our new Holy Father, Pope Leo XIV’s, deep devotion to Mary.

It was truly a blessing to celebrate our students' growing relationship with Christ during the First Communion and Confirmation Masses. These sacraments are cherished milestones not only for the students and their families but for our entire St Pius X family

Teacher Appreciation Week brought joy (and plenty of treats) as we recognized the extraordinary commitment of our faculty. On behalf of myself, our teachers, and our staff, thank you for your kind words, generous gifts, and steadfast support not only last week but throughout the year. As we look ahead toward Memorial Day and the close of the school year, we are also enthusiastically preparing for an exciting 2025–26 school year. During our recent Accreditation, our strong Catholic identity, advanced use of technology, and safe, secure environment were all noted as key strengths. We are committed to building upon this foundation.

Looking forward, we will be implementing a new national assessment tool to better measure student academic growth. We’re also expanding our professional development to focus more deeply on data-driven instruction. Additionally, we will continue to grow the support systems initiated by our counselor, Ms. Opry, during the second semester.

Please help us spread the Good News of our loving, rigorous, enriching school environment

Your voice is one of our strongest tools is in sharing what makes St. Pius X Catholic School so special

Many Blessings,

Mr. Rogers

Rosary Club

We had a very successful year! We made 248 rosaries- they were distributed to parishioners during FESTA and also put in the back of the Church. We also gave the Carmelite Nuns 75 rosaries to give to people that requested themBishop Lynch brought them on their spring mission trip to Costa Rica.

We supplied the materials for the Saints in Training to make rosaries with the first graders and we also supplied the materials for the Sacrifice Beads that the 5th graders made during their Lenten retreat.

Our year to date is 2937 rosaries since we started the club in 2015.
