Busy weekday mornings make it
a challenge for families to find
time for a healthy breakfast. However, U.S. Department of Agriculture data shows that more students
are starting their day with a nutritious breakfast in their school
cafeterias. To encourage more
families to take advantage of the
healthy choices available with
school breakfast, Pius X recognized National School Breakfast
Week March 7-11.
The National School Breakfast
Week (NSBW) campaign theme,
“Wake Up to School Breakfast”,
reminded the entire school community that school breakfast provides a healthy, energizing start to
the day for students. Students
were encouraged to “Wake Up”
their minds and bodies March 711 with special breakfast menus.
“A healthy breakfast at the start of
the day is one way to ensure students are getting the best educaCourtesy of Pius X Foundation
tion they can,” said Tini VanOehlertz, R.D. “National School Breakfast Week helps us educate parents and students about all the healthy and appealing
choices we offer.” School nutrition professionals at Pius X prepare breakfast and lunches every day that meet federal nutrition
standards – limiting fat, calories, and sodium – and encourage
students to choose from the fruits, vegetables, and whole grains
offered with school meals.
National School Breakfast Week was launched in 1989 to raise
awareness of the availability of the School Breakfast Program to
all children and to promote the link between eating a good

breakfast, academic achievement, and healthy lifestyles. The

Photos: 1998 Pius X alumnus Ryan Kearney has been named the Pius X Thunderbolt Head Football Coach.
Courtesy of the
Pius X Foundation
Athletic Director Tim Aylward announced
that Assistant Coach Ryan Kearney will
replace him as the Head Football Coach of
the Pius X Thunderbolts in Lincoln.
Kearney will be only the third football
coach in the school’s history, following the
footsteps of Aylward and his predecessor,
Coach Vince Aldrich.
“I am honored and humbled to be given this opportunity by God
to serve Pius X High School as the new Head Football Coach,”
noted Kearney. “I am excited to continue the outstanding tradition, which was established by Vince Aldrich and continued by
Tim Aylward, of helping young men use the sport of football to
grow within the core values of Pius X High School.”
A 1998 Pius X alumnus, Kearney played for Coach Aylward ’69
during the 1990’s and was a member of the Thunderbolts’ 1997
state championship team. He has also served as an assistant to
Aylward since 2004, starting as an Assistant Position Coach
before moving to coaching linebackers and tight ends. Kearney
was named Defensive Coordinator in 2006.
Aylward retired at the end of the 2015 season after 31 years,
posted a 208 win and 133 loss record, and claimed four state
championships. “Ryan is a good person to lead the Pius X football program. He’s been in the program for the past 12 years, is
very organized, and is a very good coach. He will do an outstanding job.”

of the proceeds fund the Booster Club’s special projects while
two-thirds of the proceeds finance improvements to the physical
facility.
The evening begins at 5 p.m. with Mass in the Pius X chapel. At
6 p.m., a silent auction and social hour are held in the Pius X
gym with dinner at 7:30 p.m. The live auction and lottery drawing follow from 8:30-10:30 p.m. Valet parking is available.

Mobile Bidding
Auction bidding sheets are no longer on the display tables, eliminating overcrowding around the auction
items. Mobile or text bidding (standard text messaging and data rates may apply) allows for a completely
paperless bidding system. Mobile Bidding will make our event run more efficiently from registration to
check out.
Can’t attend BOLT this year? Anyone can bid on the silent auction. The auction will be open for submitting bids Sunday, March 20 - before BOLT. You must register at the BOLT Mobile Bidding registration
page. Your instructions on how to start are the same as noted in “Before you arrive” (below). So, if you
can’t attend BOLT, you can still donate or bid on items. All items must be picked up Sunday following
BOLT, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., unless you make arrangements beforehand.
Before you arrive: Register your mobile phone online at www.piusx.net. Click on the BOLT icon under Quick Links, then go to the registration page. Be sure to fill out the form completely. All BOLT attendees must register their mobile phones online before they arrive in order to bid on items. You may go directly to the Qtego site at qtego.net/qlink/bolt2016.
Registering early will allow you to receive special announcements and updates about the silent auction.
The night of BOLT: Simply br ing your cell phone fully char ged and you ar e r eady to win some amazing items! Mobile bidding will allow you to bid electronically on all the silent auction items. You can easily
track your desired items by following your activity from your mobile device, or by using our tablets or the
computer bidding stations that will be available throughout the evening without having to return to the item’s
table.
Guests without phones: If you do not have a cell phone or do not wish to use your per sonal phone, no
worries. We will have tablets/computer bidding stations throughout the event location. And, we will have

Scholarships
- http://www.piusx.net/vnews/display.v/SEC/Development/Support|Scholarships Thanks to the generosity of many donors, Pius X will award more than
$62,000 in scholarships to students for
the 2015-2016 school year. Establishing
a Named Scholarship gives you the
opportunity to honor and remember
loved ones while actively supporting Pius X’s quality, Catholic
education. Once a Named Scholarship is created, the funds are
invested in the Foundation’s endowment with the income from
the investment being used to help pay a portion of students’ tuition. Named scholarships last forever and serve as a permanent
memorial. This means you can financially assist current as well
as future students for many years to come. As the scholarship
balance increases, so does the amount of aid students receive.
You may donate to any established named scholarship or the
Pius X Foundation's general scholarship fund by clicking on the

There is a $30 application fee when submitting the online application. Each family is asked to pay half of this cost or $15,
which can be paid by credit or debit card. Pius X will cover
the remaining $15 fee. The majority of the scholarships are
based on financial need.

assistance based on financial need must complete the FACTS

will need their 2015 Income Tax Return to complete the application. All information provided is kept confidential. Upon completion, parents/guardians will mail or fax the supporting documentation to FACTS. The tax information needed to verify the
application will be shown in the FGAA Checklist that is found
online. If someone is only applying for nonfinancial need scholarships, this portion of the application does not need to be filled
out.

Chicken BASICS
Before you dive into your favorite chicken recipes, review a few
basics about managing your bird and tips to ensure food safety.
STORING CHICKEN
Store raw poultry in its original package in the coldest part of
the refrigerator.
Cook poultry pieces within two days of purchase.
For larger storage, freeze poultry in its original package for up
to 2 months.
To freeze larger poultry, wrap original package with foil.
Whole poultry will keep for up to 1 year; cut-up pieces will
keep for up to 9 months. Never freeze stuffed poultry.
HANDLING CHICKEN
Set aside a cutting board to use exclusively for raw chicken
and other meats that will be cooked.
Wash work surfaces and utensils in hot, soapy water before
and after handling chicken to prevent the spread of bacteria.
Never partially cook chicken, refrigerate, and finish later –
bacteria may grow.
Discard used marinade.
Serve cooked chicken immediately and refrigerate leftovers
within two hours.
Rinsing chicken is not necessary. However, you should rinse
cavities of whole birds that will be stuffed. Pat dry with paper
towels.
THAWING CHICKEN
Never thaw chicken at room temperature. Thaw in the refrigerator and in a dish to catch any drips.
Allow at least nine hours for parts and 24 hours for every 3.5
to 4 pounds for whole birds.
For fast thawing, you can microwave poultry on the defrost
setting; but be sure to cook immediately.
If a whole bird doesn’t fit in the microwave, place it in a resealable plastic bag in a sink of cold water. Allow 30 minutes
per pound, changing water every 30 minutes.
