Catholic School Holding Informational Meeting

St. Francis Xavier Catholic School will hold an informational meeting next Thursday for parents interested in having their children attend the school next year.

The school serves children in grades K-8.

The meeting will focus on the school’s stewardship tuition program, which allows parents with limited funds to send their children to the school for less than the normal tuition cost. Parents will also have the opportunity to ask questions about the school and meet principal Richard Winkler. The meeting will be at 7 p.m. on Feb. 20 in the parish hall at the church, 545 E. Providence.
