Cardinals Corner | Edition # 19| January 21, 2021
A NOTE FROM PRINICPAL DRABEK

Dear Families,

National Catholic Schools Week is the annual celebration of Catholic education in the United States. It starts the last Sunday in January and runs all week, taking place this year which in 2021 is January 31 - February 5. St. Rose of Lima typically observes National Catholic Schools Week with Mass and other activities for students, families, parishioners and community members. Through these events, we focus on the value Catholic education provides to young people and its contributions to our church, our communities and our nation.

This year, we have collaborated with our Middle School students to develop a schedule on our closed campus that will be fun and engaging for all our our students. Take a look!
We look forward to these events, and this year more then ever we depend on them to bring us together in spirit if not in person. Let's Go, Cardinals!

Yours in Service,
Bernadette Lombardo Drabek, M. Ed.
Class of 1975
