CATHOLIC SCHOOLS WEEK
JANUARY 28 - FEBRUARY 3
The week of January 28, 2024, through February 3, 2024, is National Catholic Schools Week. The theme for this year is “Catholic Schools: United in Community and Faith.” This theme highlights our focus on faith development, academic excellence, and dedication to community service. We have planned a variety of events throughout the week. Each day there will be a focus on one aspect of this theme. Please read through each day carefully. There are some very specific activities for students if they want to participate!
Friday: In Our Faculty, Staff, and Volunteers
- Students can dress as their favorite teacher or staff member; please make sure you are still following the “out of uniform” guidelines in the handbook. If your student chooses not to wear the theme they must be in uniform.
Saturday: In Our Families
- Look for a special Facebook post on our school page. The goal of this day is to spend time with family. Make sure to grab a picture and comment on the Facebook post!
