Parent Teacher Club (PTC) for 2019-2020 School year
What is PTC? It’s our Parent Teacher Club. Everyone is welcome to join us! We have an amazing group of PTC Board Members, but we always
need more people. Attending monthly PTC meetings is an easy way to earn volunteer hours (see our website for volunteer hour requirements)
and stay involved in our school and your children’s lives.
Research shows that students are more successful when their parents are actively involved with their school. Keep reading the newsletters for
upcoming opportunities to help the PTC and our school.

component for Middle School.
Our Physical Education classes provide equal opportunity for students to create,
learn, enjoy, and participate in skill development through a variety of physical
activities that have lifelong value.
These activities are designed to contribute to good physical, mental, social
and emotional health.

GO REBELS GO!!!
Our St. Pius X community loves cheering on our REBELS! Athletics provides a healthy way for children to compete and expend energy by working together toward a common goal. As our community gathers to cheer on our MIGHTY REBELS; we are able to see leadership, commitment and love of the game. We learn to celebrate victories and defeats, for it's through defeat that we learn to appreciate a victory. We have dominated the field and court, but most importantly we have competed with honor. Our athletes represent our school with class and grace. SPX athletics is developing our children spiritually, academically, morally and athletically.
