Catholic Schools Week 2012

posted by Mrs. Davis on Tuesday, January 3rd, 2012

This year Catholic Schools Week will be held during the week of January 23rd.  Our Catholic Schools Week celebration will conclude with our annual Catholic Schools Week Mass and Open House. On Saturday, January 28th This year’s theme is “Catholic Schools: Faith, Academics, Service.  ” The theme expresses three priorities that make Catholic schools stand out from other educational institutions.  Children learn about faith-not just basic Christianity, but how to have a relationship with God.  They concentrate on academics, which in Catholic schools are held to the highest standards, so they can reach their highest potential.  They practice service-giving time, talent and effort to help others– as an expression of both faith and good citizenship.  This combined focus on faith , academics and service prepares students for full and meaningful lives.
