Catholic Identity

We are gearing up for our favorite time of the year, Catholic Schools Week! The theme this year is Faith, Excellence and Service. Excellence. Our schools are rooted in excellence. Everything that we do is in service of our students and creating an environment in which they can learn and thrive. One of our favorite activities during CSW is our STEM Day. We have so many excellent plans for STEM Day, we have decided to make February STEM month! We will be sharing out lots of pictures of our different activities, make sure you are connected to our Facebook page! Lord, in your perfect nature, show us how to strive for excellence for our students

We will be dismissing at 1:00 on Friday, February 3 with no aftercare so that we can take our staff out to lunch for Catholic Schools Week
