Dear Morning Star Friends and Families, |
Celebrating Catholic School’s Week at Morning Star: January 31 – February 4
This year Morning Star will be collecting canned meat pasta and/or canned ravioli.
Monday Celebrating Community: A central aspect of Catholic education is learning the importance of service to others. When students take part in service activities, they demonstrate the values and faith gained through Catholic education.
Tuesday Celebrating Students: Schools celebrate students during National Catholic Schools Week by planning enjoyable and meaningful activities for them and recognizing their accomplishments.
Wednesday Celebrating the Nation: On National Appreciation Day for Catholic Schools, students, families, educators, and other Catholic school supporters communicate the value of Catholic education to government leaders.
Thursday Celebrating Vocations: By focusing on faith, knowledge, and service, Catholic schools prepare children to use their God-given talents to the fullest throughout their lives.
Friday Celebrating Staff, Faculty, and Volunteers: On this day, schools will honor teachers and principals as well as administrators and staff who support them in their work and thank those who provide volunteer service.
