The mission of St. Xavier Catholic School is to educate the whole person—body, mind

and spirit—in Christian values in

accordance with our Catholic faith tradition.

May 2011

High School graduation is the biggest day most

people look forward to and sometimes, is the rea-

son kids only make it through high school. The

class of 2011 in St. Xavier is graduating on

May 22,2011 at 3pm in the church. This

year from St. Xavier Catholic School there

are seven graduates: Alex Davis, James

Kang, Jeong woo Kim, Haley Lundblad,

Elisa Mendoza-Morales, and Monique

Nesbitt. Most of the seven students have

been together since freshmen year plus or

minus a few people along the way. Last

year the graduating class was only two people.

Please come join us in this event to send off all of

this year’s graduates.

This year there are fourteen 8th graders who are potentially going to start

their first year of high school next school year. On May 25, 2011 there is a

potluck at 6pm then at 7pm the ceremony will begin. Bring a dish and keep

the party going and tell these young students “Congratulations” fro finishing

junior high and best wishes in high school.

Grades 5th though 12th played in the band. And we also enjoyed hear-

ing the wonderful voices our middle school and high school students

have. Awards were handed out to fellow students for

Outstanding improvement and participation. There was another Con-

cert held at Junction City Middle School on May 11 by our Orchestra.

We would like to give a big thanks to Mr. Workman, Mrs. Corlett and

Mrs. McConnell for helping all of these students bring out their talents.

the theme A Night In Ven-

ice, but because of the re-

turn of Prom King and

Queen. All of St. Xavier’s

High School students voted

for the 2011 Prom King

Prom. Somehow, four short

letters add up to one of the

biggest occasions in an ado-

lescent’s life. For St. Xa-

vier, Prom is not just looked

forward to by Juniors and

Seniors, but by Freshmen

and Sophomores as well,

due to the allowance of 9th

and 10th graders at our

Prom, because of our small

number of students. This

year’s Prom, which occurred

on May 14, at the Knights

of Columbus Hall, is

probably the most memora-

ble in years, not because of

and Queen. The seniors in

the running were Jefferson

Flores, Alex Davis, James

Kang, Jeong Woo Kim,

Monique Nesbitt, Ellie

Mendoza, and Haley Lund-

blad. St. Xavier’s 2011

Prom King and Queen win-

ners were Jefferson Flores

and Monique Nesbitt.

Prom was huge! We hope

it is just as successful with

the years to come. Con-

gratulations Jeff and

Monique!

the track members com-

mented: “We had fun, eve-

“She will be missed”

Mrs. Rhonda Millard has been working here at St. Xavier high school and

elementary school for 18 years. She has decided to retire this year 2011. She will

always be remembered for her kindness and strictness. She was understanding

and knew just how to handle everything. The staff threw her a retirement party

on May, 1, 2011 at 2:00pm. Some comments made were:

“It was great, wish she could stay longer”

“I had fun; Rosie did a lot for her”

I asked some fellow students what their favorite memory with Mrs. Millard

was:

“As much trouble as all of us get into she still knows how to handle us and

never gets truly angry”

-Monique N.

“When I was in 1st grade. She told everyone that no one uses the restroom.

But I took it literally and at recess I was sitting on the stairs holding it in. And

she called the class to line up. And I peed my pants, in front of the class. When

she asked “why didn’t you ask to go use the bathroom?” I said “because you said

no one uses the bathroom.”

-Madison M.

“My favorite thing about Mrs. Millard was that she was nice and that she

was fair. She could be the nicest person in the world, you just had to listen to her

and respect her otherwise you didn’t want to feel her wrath. She was always nice

until someone did something bad then as everyone knows at recess you stood at

the wall for wall time.”

-Yvonne E.

Mrs. Millard will be missed! We all hope the best for her and want her to

know that we enjoyed having her as a teacher, co-worker, and principal but most

importantly, a friend. God bless you!!

Mrs. Millard
