Catholic Schools Week
January 28 – February 3, 2012
(A Special Message to our teachers from our Students)
Catholic Schools Week is a long-standing tradition at St. Patrick School. This year, Catholic Schools Week will be observed the week of January 28th. We want to give you a look at the activities we have planned—and also to invite you to participate in as many activities as you can.
This year’s theme, Catholic Schools: Faith. Academics. Service., focuses on three priorities that Catholic schools establish that make them stand out from other educational institutions. Children are taught faith – not just the basics of Christianity, but how to have a relationship with God. Academics, which in Catholic schools are held to very high standards, help each child reach his or her potential. Service, the giving of one’s time and effort to help others, is taught both as an expression of faith and good citizenship.
