We are still looking for
those parents who like to cook. If you are interested in helping us out by
preparing a dish for us to serve to our beloved staff and teachers, please give
Margie King, 602-840-5404 or Beth Penney, 480-951-7824 a call.
It’s important that you speak to one of us prior to bringing something, because
we do, believe or not, have a method to our madness! It’s a great feeling to be
able to show off your culinary skills and treat our teachers to a special
luncheon in their honor...beats buying those teachers gifts, they have enough
apples anyway!
The Xavier staff LOVES this luncheon, and it’s only made possible if our fabulous parents help us out and participate. We are also in great need of volunteers the day of the event. If you have ANY time on Friday, December 5th, please let us know, because we’ll take that 1 hour you have in between dropping off your child and heading to the gym. If you can give us two hours or six hours, either way, it works for us. We aren’t too picky, just please grab a friend and come on down to the multi-purpose gym on Friday, Dec. 5 anytime from 8:30 am on, and we’ll put you to work...easy stuff though.
Do you like to decorate,
we can use you. Besides, you might just decide you like it, and you’ll want to
be involved next year too. It’s a great group of ladies and we really enjoy
putting this very special event on in honor of our wonderful staff. We are
looking for about 20 volunteers to help us set up his enormous event. We serve
150, very important people at this luncheon. Please do your year end good-will
gesture and come join us!
If you would, please email Kim Cerchiai at cerchiai@cox.net to let us
know when you would be able to stop in and help. We have to have some idea how
many volunteers we will have that day, so don’t forget to let us know whether
you prefer to bring food, or help with set-up, we will be very grateful to all
who can join us. Thanks for supporting Xavier.
GearXChange Gift Cards make a great Christmas present!
Christmas Faculty/Staff Luncheon
This annual event is 13 days away. Margie King wants to hear from anyone that is interested in donating a dish (desserts, salads, sides, pastas, etc) for the luncheon. We are also looking for side dishes, Italian or Mexican dishes in addition to the others mentioned. Dishes should serve 20 people.
The luncheon is on Friday, December 5th, 2008 ~ 12pm. We are collecting items early that morning (drop off) 7:30 am or whenever they can drop off their dish before 11 am in the snack bar area kitchen.
Christian Service Opportunity for Students
Christ Child Society is holding a benefit auction and dinner on Saturday,
December 7 at the Double Tree Resort, Scottsdale Rd and Jackrabbit. They would
like some volunteers to watch over the silent auction when everyone is eating.
The hours are 5:30 -9:00pm. Any student wishing to volunteer should contact
Mrs. Joan Dupnik Ext (3311) by Dec. 2.

exam. This includes exams given in-class, Rio Salado exams and regularly
scheduled exams. In-class exams for all students will begin the week of December
15th.
First semester tuition received in the Finance Office after December 3rd
must be paid with cash, cashier’s check or money order ONLY!
A lost or forgotten exam card will cost $10 to replace. There will be no
exceptions.
CTODP
Redirect your Arizona state taxes to help pay the tuition of a Xavier student in need of assistance. All students were sent home with a pledge sheet that can be filled out if any family member or friend is planning to or has already contributed to CTODP-Xavier. Each pledge sheet turned in by a student is entered into a drawing for several awesome prizes! The deadline to return the pledge sheets is
"Scrip (gift cards) is an amazing source of scholarship funds for our
students."
Sr. Joan Fitzgerald
Many parents have asked about gift cards for teacher appreciation gifts for Christmas. Xavier S.H.O.P.S! has special gift certificates of all denominations that can be redeemed for gift cards.
As a side note, Xavier S.H.O.P.S! gift cards does not sell any gift cards for retail stores that are closing, like Circuit City and Sharper Image.
For the Christmas season, many retailers have raised the
percentage discounts that Xavier earns on their gift cards, so w
We have Target gift cards!
Also keep in mind that grocery gift cards manage to stay recession proof. In fact, many Valley food banks and non-profit organizations are asking for grocery gift cards so families in need can purchase food items for Thanksgiving and Christmas.
"Vista del Camino is asking for a $25 grocery card so families can purchase a turkey or ham."
