Catholic Schools Week
This year’s theme is
“Catholic Schools: A+ for America” which celebrates that Catholic Schools
add great value to our nation. With our high academic standards and graduation
rates, supported by strong moral values, we’re making a significant
contribution to American society. During the week we will celebrate the role of
our school in our parish, in our community, in our nation, in our volunteers and
staff, in our vocations, and in our students.
We have planned an activity
for each day.
Sunday, January 30
In Our Parish
Students and teachers will participate in the 9AM liturgy.
Following the liturgy there will be Coffee Hour and Open House 10-12AM in the
school hall. We invite our parishioners to visit the school. This is our
opportunity to thank you for all your support over the years. We also invite
those who are interesting in enrolling in the school to come and meet the
teachers and learn about the various programs offered.
Monday, January 31
In Our Community
Students write thank you letters to those whose support of the
school has been so instrumental in its success. Students also share news about
the school in letters to senior citizens, especially those who are shut-in or
are ill. If you know of someone who would enjoy receiving a letter from a
student, call the school @ 781-643-9031
Tuesday, February 1
In Our Volunteers
Parent Classroom Visitation 8:15-9:15
Volunteer Recognition Assembly 10:00
A Catholic Education is based on four key principles:
Faith: Connecting to the divine spirit that resides in
each of us.
Knowledge: Understanding the world in which we live
Discipline: Instruction and learning in accordance with
rules
Morals: Developing character based on the distinction
between right and wrong.
Wednesday, February 2 (Half Day)
In Our Nation
As in the past, the students continue to help the homeless in our
nation.
This year we are participating in Operation Sock Drop in
conjunction with Friends of Boston’s
Homeless. If you would also like to participate, all you need to do is
donate at least one brand-new pair on men’s or women’s socks (wool or cotton
tube socks). Underwear/ undershirts in L, XL, and XXL are also greatly needed.
You can drop them off at either the school or parish center.
Thursday, February 3
In Our Vocations
Classes
participate in a Career Day. Guests are invited to the classroom to discuss what
is involved in a particular career and how they prepared for it.
Friday, February 4
In Our Students
Today, we recognize students who have
made a special contribution to the school community. As
a special treat, students will attend a movie (K-4 in the morning and K-5 in the
afternoon)
