A reminder to all families to complete your VSP Hours. VSP stands for Volunteer Support Program. It is your responsibility to enter your hours in Track It Forward, our online software, within 30 days of the event.
Hours that are not completed are charged at the rate of $25 per hour.
This year we are instituting deadlines for reporting your hours so that those who don't finish their hours can be charged in a more timely manner.
- If your only child in the school is in 8th grade, then the deadline for your hours were Wednesday, May 8th. -- A bill will be sent soon for any uncompleted hours at the rate of $25.00 an hour.
- Hours for all other families are due by Wednesday, May 22.Hours not completed by these deadlines will be charged before the end of the school year via TADS. Please note that this is a change as in previous years hours were charged the following school year.We know that some events take place AFTER these deadlines. We ask that you put your hours for events taking place after these deadlines in ADVANCE using your best guess - it's the honor system!Questions about the hours you've submitted? Email Katie Skerpon at hsapresident1@stpiusbowie.org.
The Technology Lab is in desperate need of an upgrade! If parents would like to receive service hours, we are looking for donations of computer desktops and monitors. Bulk pickup could be arranged, so if anyone’s office is looking to get rid of some old PCs (not too old please), we could definitely use them. For more information please contact Mr. Baxter at fbaxter@stpiusbowie.org

The SPX Home and School Association (HSA) is excited to invite you to our 2024 Decades Dance! Join us for a night of dancing, refreshments, a photo booth, and an auction!
Friday, May 10 form 7:00 - 10:00 pm
This family dance is open to SPX students and their parent(s) and sibling(s).
Each ticket includes a Savory Bar (chili/taco meat and all the toppings!), desserts, pictures with your family and friends, and more fun surprises!
The dance will also include a kids raffle auction featuring items just for them AND an adult silent auction where you can bid on a variety of items including free tag days once a month for the entire school year and a coveted front parking space! For the kids raffle, you will purchase tickets at the dance that kids can then put into bags for what items they want to win - tickets will be pulled at the end of the event like at Fun Day. The adult silent auction will be done by bid sheets with the highest bid winning.
Join us for this great event and fundraiser as we celebrate with our whole school community!
Get your tickets HERE (please make this a button with the link):
All funds go toward updating our PreK playground area including a kid-friendly colored poured surface ground and a cover over the playground to provide some much-needed shade!
The estimate for the poured surface ground is about $90,000 and the cover for shade will be an additional $10,000 - $20,000. With permits and other expenses, we estimate the total project coming in around $120,000. We currently have about $80,000 in hand so we have about $40,000 to raise and have in hand before the project can begin.
Interested in earning some VSP Hours? Donate or volunteer to help with the Decades Dance!
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 Sign Up Genius 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!

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.
