Catholic Schools Week

Catholic Schools Week 2021

January 31 – February 6, 2021

Catholic Schools Week is our favorite week of the year as we celebrate our school. In a typical year, the week is filled with fun uniform/non-uniform days, field trips, service projects, spelling bee, Super Bowl of books, and guest readers. Although things look a little different this year, we are still looking forward to all the fun activities we have scheduled.
