BOOST SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM FOR THE 2024-2025 SCHOOL YEAR
The online parent application was released on Wednesday February 28, 2024 and will close on Friday May 3, 2024. Please visit marylandpublicschools.org/BOOST
Parent application must be completed before the student application can be completed. Please check back to the website frequently because the date for the student application has not yet been released.
ANNUAL PASTORAL RECOMMENDATION
Every year St. Pius X Regional School must receive an updated pastoral recommendation from your Church for you to receive the Catholic Tuition Rate. It is your responsibility to obtain the pastoral recommendation and supply it to the school. This form MUST be received by May 15, 2024 in order to receive the Catholic Rate. If the Pastoral Agreement is received after tuition agreement is signed your Catholic Rate will not begin until the month we receive it. THERE WILL BE NO REFUNDS ISSUED FOR PREVIOUSLY PAID MONTHS AT THE NON CATHOLIC RATE.
*If you are a member of one of the four regional parishes (St. Pius, Sacred Heart, St. Edwards or Ascension) the School office will reach out to the Church office to confirm the families have qualified for a Pastoral Recommendation for the 2024-2025 School Year if you have provided one to us previously.
PASTORAL RECOMMENDATION UPDATE
Mrs. Fay wants to thank the families that let her know what parishes they belong to. She will be reaching out to the four Regional Churches on Friday.

8th GRADE DANCE
Our 8th graders will soon be saying goodbye to SPX and heading off to high school but before they do we are going to throw a party to celebrate them! As per tradition, the theme of the dance is TOP SECRET and CONFIDENTIAL. If you are in the know DO NOT let the students know so it can be a surprise! Plans are starting to come together and there are lots of things happening! The SUG below will continue to be updated so please keep checking back to see if there is anything you can do to help. Some things are "borrow" requests, some items are purchase requests and some requests are food donations. If you happen to see something on these lists that you happen to have and would be willing to share with us please let us know! We need all purchased or borrowed items NO LATER THAN May 3, 2024. Food donations will be accepted at school on May 17, 2024. If you have any questions, please reach out to Teri Cooney at tmcooneylaw@gmail.com. Thank you!

St Pius X Regional School Launches Sneaker Drive Fundraiser to Raise Money for SPX Student Government Association.
Bowie, MD 3/13/2024 – St. Pius X is holding an athletic shoe drive fundraiser starting in March to raise money for SGA. SPX will earn funds based on the total quantity of gently worn, used, and new sneakers collected. GotSneakers, a social enterprise, will issue funds in compensation for the collected sneakers. Those funds will benefit SGA. Anyone can help by simply donating gently worn, used, and new sneakers.
GotSneakers has developed a unique fundraising program that asks communities to reach into their closets, not their pockets! The sneaker recycling program helps keep sneakers out of landfills, which has harmful effects on our environment, and helps organizations like ours raise much needed funds. The program is truly a win – win! Learn more about GotSneakers by visiting their website at www.gotsneakers.com.
“We are excited about our sneaker drive fundraiser,” said Ann Gillespie.
“We know that most people have extra sneakers in their closets they would like to donate rather than throw away. By doing so, we raise money for our school and help the environment. It’s a win – win for everyone!”
