XTrAs--Helping All Students
Xavier Teaching Assistants are ready for you! There are over 50 students who volunteer their time before, during, and after school to tutor other students. These XTrAs are the heart of the library. If you're in need of help with an assignment, reviewing for an assessment, proofreading a paper, etc., they are located in the iLab. The XTrAs are here for anyone in the school. If you're not sure who to see, contact Mrs. Marshall or Ms. Konzen. We'll get you connected to these awesome students.
Jefferson Daubitz
Jefferson (senior) tutors one student every morning from 7:15 a.m. until 7:45 a.m. "I tutor to give back to the community and to make a difference."
Piper Kesselring
Piper (senior) tutors every day during 7th hour. "I tutor because I know that I am helping someone learn and to get a good grade."
Elizabeth Janey
Elizabeth (senior) tutors after school on Mondays and Wednesdays from 2:45 p.m. to 3:45 p.m. "I tutor because I like to help people. It benefits me because I am reviewing the material with them."
T.E.A.M.S.
Five students (Emily Cunningham, Noah Kepros, Piper Kesselring, Carter Kramer, and Ethan Lowder) are participating in the Iowa Quality Project T.E.A.M.S. Teams stands for Teams Engaging Analyzing and Managing Systems. Training was held for two days last week at the Kirkwood Training Center. Students are paired with Four Oaks and will work on their problem this week. A final presentation date is to be determined.
New Books
I try to stay current with Young Adult novels. The bookshelves located by the Cube will always hold the most current books. Come in and get a book recommendation from me. Don't see something? Ask and I can always order it for you.
Prisma App
Prisma is a new app to love if you like taking pictures. This app works like Instagram but with modern art filters. It's free and easy to upload photos to other social media sites.

A big thank you for the Xpress staff for asking and printing my article in Septemeber.
