Not to brag…but I will…about our terrific St. Pius X School students. They truly
excel in all areas! This is evidenced by our eighth graders’ academic performance,
as seen on the results of the JPII entrance exam. Five of our students performed
so well, in fact, that they received $500 scholarships to the high school. Students,
and teachers, are congratulated! A “shout out” to:
Julia DiPreta
John Rezendes
Jack Lawson
Alexa Ubertaccio
Grace Kostecki
On the court, the SPXS Crusaders Boys A Basketball Team completed their seasonundefeated! With a 13-0 record, the boys will begin the Cape Cod Super Six
Tournament as the #1 seed. We could be experiencing our own form of “March
madness” on the SPXS campus! Congratulation to all student-athletes who made
a contribution to a terrific basketball season for all, including our eighth graders:
Julia DiPreta
Jack Lawson
Joey Florio
Caitlyn Marrs

Tomorrow each child will receive a baby bottle to bring home and fill with
change for Friends of the Unborn. Think of it as “change that can change a life.”
Inside each bottle is a flyer from Friends of the Unborn which explains their
mission of assisting mothers and babies. Fill the bottle over the next few
weeks, and return to school by March 18th. Use this as a family project
throughout the rest of Lent, to provide help to someone who needs it!
May God bless each of you!

Dear St. Pius X School Parents:
Spring is in the air and so starts the planning for our annual Gala & Auction being held on Friday, May
13, 2016 at the beautiful Oyster Harbors Club in Osterville. The Gala and Auction is the School’s biggest
fundraiser and we sincerely hope that you will attend! Tickets will be on sale next week for just $50 per
person (if purchased before 4/15). This cost covers hors d’oeuvres, a delicious dinner, and live
entertainment by Stage Door Canteen (featuring our very own Mr. G). This SPECIAL EVENING is not
limited to SPXS families and we would love for you to bring your friends, family, and anyone who would
enjoy an evening out. It is a nice opportunity to come together as a community and celebrate our
school. If you cannot attend, please consider sponsoring a teacher or staff member’s attendance. It is
an excellent way to give back to those who give so much to our children!
We hope this year’s event will be a big success but we need YOUR HELP! If you own a business or
know someone who would like to donate an item or a gift certificate, we would be so appreciative! No
donation is too small! You would help the school AND advertise a business to the hundreds of guests
that will attend. We also have sponsorship opportunities available for those who can and would like to
do a little bit more. Our sponsorships range from $100-$1,000 and there are wide-reaching advertising
benefits associated with these.
Beyond being the biggest fundraiser for our school, this is also a special opportunity to connect with our
extended SPXS family. It is always nice to see familiar faces and welcome new families into our fold.
This event highlights our unity over the desire to create the best school we can for our children. The
money we raise directly benefits them!
There will be a raffle, a silent auction, a live auction, and a wine pull, with many fabulous auction items
and opportunities to win! MANY people have gotten some AMAZING deals on exclusive items and
others were able to purchase things at prices below retail due to the generosity of our donors and
sponsors. So there truly is “something for everyone!” But even if you don’t leave with a “prize,” you will
leave with the belief that you are sending your children to a school filled with people who CARE about
them and that is Priceless!
We appreciate your interest and generosity. Please contact us if you have any questions or would like to
support this event.
