Join us on Monday, October 27th, from 6:00–7:00 PM, for an engaging and practical presentation designed to help parents support their children’s reading development at home!

During this session, Cheri Bunch, our reading interventionist, will demonstrate techniques and strategies to teach beginning reading skills. Parents will also learn helpful ways to support older students in developing reading comprehension and vocabulary skills. By learning these methods, parents can reinforce reading instruction at home and help their children grow as confident, successful readers — without confusion or mixed messages.

📅 Date: Monday, October 27th

🕕 Time: 6:00–7:00 PM

📍 Location: St. Gabriel – Loft 1

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Please Note: This presentation is for adults only. 

We hope you’ll join us for this informative and enjoyable session and take home practical tools to make reading a joyful experience for your child!

The Lumen Theatre Company of Saint Xavier High School is thrilled to announce a new theatre program for your students. Tiger Youth Theatre (TYT) is a children's theatre opportunity where children of our community will workshop, rehearse, and perform a short musical under the direction of our department's staff and students. First through fifth grade students will learn improvisation, singing, acting, and dancing skills. Sixth through eighth graders will learn improvisation, lights, sound, and run-crew skills. 

We are proud to announce that registration is open for TYT!

Workshops will begin on October 21 and continue each Tuesday and Thursday from 4:00 PM to 5:15 PM until our performance on December 5th. More in-depth information as well as a registration form are available here: Tiger Youth Theatre Information & Registration.

As an extra perk to participating in the program, TYT students along with the children of St. X staff members will be invited to audition to be munchkins and flying monkeys in our March production of The Wizard of Oz.

We have added a section on News You Can Use for high school information.  Check out this section for upcoming events for prospective students.  This section will continue to be updated.
