THANK YOU TO EVERYONE FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND COMMITMENT TO YOUR CHILD’S CATHOLIC EDUCATION.

Operation Christmas Child:  Reminder, shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child are due by Friday, November 11.  Please join us in this wonderful way to share with others who are not as fortunate as we are.

Hoops for Heart will be held during physical education class the week of November7-11 for grades 5-8.

Pumpkin Run:  A big thank you to Bret and Susan Miller for the pumpkin donation for the pumpkin run.  Thank you to all parents and students who attended to make the event such a success.  Thank you to the faculty and staff members who assisted in the event, and thank you to the members of NJHS who assisted. ~ Linda Seidt

Walking School Bus:  Don't forget the walking school bus started this week...we have had an awesome turn for such an early hour!!  St. Pius parents rock. . .thanks for showing up. .and being so very supportive and walking along!!    We meet by Sterling Price apartments. If it is raining we will not be walking. .otherwise bundle up. . you do not have to let someone know . . just show up. .we start walking @ 7:00 am sharp. If you want to eat breakfast at school you need to let the kitchen know the day before!! Tuesday and Thursday mornings only!

Amazon.com:We have a link on our school website now for amazon.com.  Please go to st-pius.com and click on supporters and then fundraisers.  If you click on the amazon link you will be directed to their homepage.  Any purchases you make after following that link will earn St. Pius X at least 4% of the purchase.

Boy Scouts:  Boy Scouts will once again be selling popcorn to raise funds for their program.  If you are interested in purchasing some popcorn please see a Scout or Mrs. Betty.  Scouts will be outside of church on Saturday evening.

Box Tops for Education:  Our school collects Box Tops for Education.  This is a simple, easy way to earn much needed money for things we could not normally afford.  There are several opportunities for smaller amounts of Box Tops.  You will also be able to find coupons for Box Tops products.  To get to a link for signing up for Box Tops please go to www.st-pius.com, click on supporters, then fundraisers and follow the link.
SCRIP:  The Scrips program is an easy way to make money for our school.  Scrip participating retailers agree to sell gift certificates to our organization at a discount.  Member families like yours buy the certificates for full face value, they redeem them for full face value, and our school keeps the difference as revenue.  We submit orders on Mondays and the cards are returned to you by Friday.  New this year:  We are also keeping a limited number of cards available from local merchants and may be purchased and taken immediately.  We have denominations for Westlake's Ace Hardware, Amazon.com, Lowe's, Pizza Hut, Subway and Wal-Mart available immediately.

Best Choice Labels:  St. Pius will begin collecting Best Choice Labels.  For many years we have collected Box Tops for Education.  We have also recently found that Best Choice has a Save-A-Label program.  If you shop at Bratchers they carry Best Choice products.  Please save the UPC label which states "Best Choice" above the UPC code.  UPC codes are accepted for nearly every Best Choice product except cans or milk labels.  Turning these labels in is just another way to support your child's education at St. Pius X School.Thank you.
