Get ready to get moving!
What Moves You is happening on May 8, 2021
What Moves You was originally scheduled as part of Homecoming week on Saturday, October 10, 2020. We made the difficult decision in October to postpone the in-person event until May 8, 2021.
We have taken several steps to hold a socially distant and safe as possible rescheduled event on May 8, 2021. Our number one priority is to keep all Hawks and friends healthy and safe. If you are not comfortable participating in person, you can participate virtually and post photos. If you are comfortable participating in person, we have several mitigation procedures planned to keep participants from different social units socially distant.
All fall 2020 registered participants already have their t-shirts and participant time slots from last fall. If you wish to change your time slot, you may change it by emailing [email protected]
We welcome new participants to sign up as well! Please sign up to join us for this fun event!
If you have any questions, please send an email or call the contact information listed above.
Stay healthy, stay safe, and Go Hawks!
Thank You to Our Sponsors!

All dollars generated from this community event allow Xavier Catholic Schools to provide students opportunities for excellence in the classroom and in many extra-curricular experiences. In addition, every dollar helps pay the quality, dedicated staff and helps make a St. Francis Xavier education accessible to as many families as possible.
Event held rain or shine. Since this is a fundraising event, we will be unable to accommodate refunds if the event is canceled.
