Excellence 1 The Bolt Xtra . June/July 2013 . Volume 10 On Saturday, April 20, over 630 guests including parents, family, friends, alumni, and supporters of Pius X celebrated BOLT 2013 “Creating A Masterpiece,” the 28th Annual Dinner/Benefit Auction in the Pius X gym and commons area. They all attended the annual fundraiser that raises money for the various needs of the school. One of the goals from BOLT is to raise funds to provide a great physical environment for all students. More funds were raised this year than last year, with 1/3 of the proceeds designated for the Booster Club and special projects, while 2/3 of the proceeds were designated for the retirement of the payment on the kitchen. The proceeds raised and returned to Pius from all the BOLT events held the past 28 years is almost $4.5 million. This year, there were 398 lottery tickets sold for $100 each, raising $39,800.00 in tickets alone. Top sellers from the Pius X students included: Landon Warner, 1st place; Alex VanAckeren 2nd place; and Alexis Bryant, 3rd place. The BOLT coordinating committee would like to thank its donors and volunteers for making Superintendent Father James Meysenburg the event possible. There were over 300 parent volunteers, along with students who sold lottery tickets, sang at the Mass before BOLT, assisted with running bids, valet parked and helped with clean up. There was tremendous support from all the Pius X High School staff as well. It has been a pleasure working with all. Special thanks to the coordinating committee: Joe & Lois Akers, Tom & Lynne Albin, Joe & Penny Bachmann, Dave & Ann Kirby, Mike & Ann Kotopka, Mark & Janet Kurtenbach, Father Jim Meysenburg, Alan & Diane Pryor, The Most Reverend Bishop James Conley Deb Schulte, and Tom & Anne Wackel. visits with other guests.

Pro-Life Day Encourages Students To Defend Life To celebrate life at all stages from conception to natural death, Pius X hosted its annual Pro-Life Day on April 24. Pius X students were joined by representatives from Bishop Neumann in Wahoo and Aquinas High School in David City. The keynote speaker for the day was Michael Spencer from the Life Training Institute. He gave a detailed and encouraging presentation to the whole school to stir up further enthusiasm to fight abortion. His all-school assembly was followed by a private session with Pro-Life day attendees, during which he taught them rebuttals to the typical arguments that Pro-Choice supporters make. Not only did Mr. Spencer have very intelligent discussion points, but he taught the students to always use compassion when speaking about this important topic. Photo courtesy of Yearbook The students then had lunch at Valentino’s followed by an hour of prayer at Planned Parenthood. They prayed a rosary and sang the Divine Mercy Chaplet. It was so beautiful to hear all their voices lifted in song for the unborn! The remainder of the day included making Mothers Day cards for women in crisis pregnancy centers and writing letters to a little girl in El Salvador that the Pius X Pro-Life Club sponsors to attend school.

It features the largest cat complex in North America and the world's largest nocturnal exhibit and indoor swamp.

This is the 6th year for this field trip. —————————————————————————– Advanced Placement (AP) Testing Advanced Placement (AP) Testing was held May 8-15. AP classes are college-credit classes that students take while in high school and can count as credit for college if a certain test score is achieved at the end of the year. Courses offered at Pius X include Biology, Calculus, English Literature, Physics, Statistics, U.S. Government, and U.S. History. These courses are rigorous and require much of the students who take them. Each course is followed by a very difficult national test that is graded on a one to five scale, with five being the best. Most colleges accept grades of three or higher and offer incoming students from three to five college credits for each AP class. The AP Program is administered by the Collegeboard. If your student is interested in registering for an Advanced Placement class, please contact the Pius X Guidance Office for more information. —————————————————————————– Holy Father’s Prayer Intentions JUNE Mutual Respect.

This was the 2nd annual state-wide anti-bullying event in Nebraska and at Pius X. The “Stand For The Silent” was Photo courtesy of Pius X Foundation started by a couple from Oklahoma who have a son who was 11 years old when he committed suicide. He did this because he was getting bullied at school and couldn’t take it anymore. This cause is their quest to raise awareness and to try to prevent bullying from happening to other children. Visit http://www.standforthesilent.org/. I Stand For The Silent From this day forward I promise to respect those around me as well as respect myself. I AM SOMEBODY, and I can make a difference. I can make another feel loved. I can be the helping hand that leads another back to a path of hope and aspiration. I WILL NOT STAND SILENT as others try to spread hatred through my community. Instead, I pledge to lift up these victims and show them that their lives matter. I will be the change because I AM SOMEBODY. ———————————————————–—————— Student Council 2013-14 Officers: President Vice President Secretary Treasurer Eric Zimmerman Lauren Tobias Abigail Miller Marie Foley Seniors: Annie Albin, Sally Barie, Thomas Dalton, Jackson Deterding, Marie Foley, Gavin Fusco, Thomas Hafner, Michaela Hendricks, Grant McElroy, Abigail Miller, Joey Murphy, Brittany Pollock, Lauren Tobias, and Eric Zimmerman.
