It’s Catholic Schools Week! But what exactly is Catholic Schools Week? Well, Catholic Schools Week is officially known as National Catholic Schools Week, and starts on the last Sunday of January, and goes until the end of the week. This celebration started in 1974 and has continued to this day. Every year, Catholic Schools Week has a theme, and this year it happens to be “Catholic Schools: Learn. Serve. Lead. Succeed.” This week is observed with lots of things, including open houses, masses, and activities for students and teachers. These activities can vary from school to school.
Cardinal Pacelli celebrates each day of the school week with a different activity. Monday is a favorite sports team, where students may wear clothing celebrating their favorite teams. Also, students, K-5 will be treated to a performance by a Police Band. Tuesday is Tacky Tuesday where students get to dress up in there tackiest clothing. Also, it’s Grade Level game day, where students get to play board games. Wednesday is Student Appreciation day and also Favorite Color day. Students can wear their favorite color, have skyline chili for lunch, watch the Pacelli Talent Show, and enjoy your homework-free night! Thursday is Teacher Appreciation day and a spirit wear day! We’ll have a Family mass and at 10:45-12:15 parents will take over for the teachers. And Friday is Pajama Day! Be lazy and wear your PJs to school! Then we’ll play some bingo with our families, and don’t forget to listen to the music that will be playing during lunch.

For me, being a student at a Catholic school means so much. It means nurturing your faith, and being able to complete sacraments like First Communion and Confirmation with your friends. You can also ask the teachers questions that you have about your faith. In addition, since we have a whole class dedicated to the Catholic religion, I have been able to learn about its history. Also, most Catholic schools have small grades, so you can get to know everyone in your grade! I think that going to a Catholic school has shaped me to be the person that I am today, and for that, I’m very grateful.
-Kate Grade 8 To me, being a catholic student means that you are especially close with God. It also means that you go to church at least once a week and enjoy doing so. You also have a responsibility to spread God's word through doing good deeds. I also think to be a catholic student means that you need to study the faith, different saints, and try to do as they did every single day. This is what I think it means to be catholic. -Wally Grade 7 *Click on ¨previous¨ to read more stories and articles.* |
