The Feast of St. Viator
Recently, the Viatorians announced Cristo Rey St. Viator Las Vegas College Preparatory, which is a Catholic learning community that will educate young people of limited economic means to become men and women of faith, purpose and service. Through a rigorous college preparatory curriculum, integrated with a relevant work study experience, students will graduate ready to succeed in college and in life.
On Sunday, October 21st we celebrate the life of St. Viator and the group of faithful followers who have been inspired by this simple story. We are very blessed to have the chance to learn from this special group of priests and brothers, and to follow their path of observing the Catholic faith and love of education.

First Friday
On the first Friday of every month, each student has the chance to bring in $1 to wear jeans and a Spirit shirt. This fundraiser was proposed by Student Government and is called First Friday. The goal for each First Friday is to raise money for the next President and Vice President of the SVS Student Government to attend a leadership conference from TACSC, The Association of Catholic Student Councils.
Over the summer, the current President, Elora Palacio, and Vice President, Rylie Perez, had the amazing opportunity to attend this leadership conference. Elora went to UCI, University of California, Irvine, and Rylie went to LMU, Loyola Marymount University.
At this conference, they learned more about how they can become better leaders and how they can make a difference at St. Viator School. For five days, they created memories, formed friendships, & became the leaders they were meant to be. It was such a wonderful experience, and they knew that the next President and Vice President would absolutely enjoy it.
Therefore, Student Government decided that they would create a fundraiser and raise money throughout the year to send the next SVS President and Vice President to attend the conference in the summer 2019. So far, they have raised $387.80, and they need around $1,698. If they raise at least $200 each month, they will have more than enough money.
Student Government truly appreciates all of the support from each student. Let’s help them achieve their goal by continuing to donate $1 on every First Friday of each month.
Join us for An evening out...
Throughout the years, the St. Viator School Foundation has funded many capital improvements which directly benefit your student right now, including new computer lab computers, iPad 1:1 program in Junior High, lockers, renovations to various classrooms and the office, a media center including 35 wireless laptops, smart boards, and a T.V. station. During the lean years of the recent recession, funds were applied towards “human capital” in the form of tuition assistance to retain our supportive families during times of financial crisis.
Most of the Foundation revenue is generated from the silent and live auction items at the annual gala event. This revenue is further enhanced by program ads, sponsorships, table sales, raffle ticket sales, and interest earnings. This year, a portion of the proceeds will be used to advance our strategic improvement plan, including further building and technology initiatives.
We are truly looking forward to seeing you at this year's Foundation dinner!
May God continue to bless you abundantly
for what you do for His children,

The SVS faculty met this Monday to prepare for the upcoming WCEA accreditation, giving our students the day off.
