Our Open House on Sunday, January 29th kicks off Catholic Schools Week. All Saints Catholic School has some wonderful events planned for the week. Catholic Schools Week is designed to celebrate what makes a Catholic education both distinctive and exceptional. The goal is to set aside time from the regular routines and honor in a unique way the special ways in which a Catholic education contributes to building a community in the school, local parishes, city, nation and world. The theme for Catholic Schools Week, chosen by National Catholic Education Association (NCEA) and the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), is “Catholic Schools: Faith. Academics. Service.” We, at All Saints Catholic School, have some great activites planned for the week and some wonderful service projects as well.
