Catholic Schools Week Review

Catholic Schools Week is a week to celebrate Catholic education across the United States. Started as a joint program between the National Catholic Education Association (NCEA) and the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) in 1974, the celebration week begins on the last Sunday of January each year.  This year NCEA's theme for Catholic Schools Week was "Catholic Schools: United in Faith and Community".  NCEA encouraged the 6,400 catholic elementary and high schools in the United States to host special masses, open houses or other activities to focus on the value that the schools provide to their students, staff members, families, parishioners and communities.  

At All Saints Academy Catholic Schools Week we had a busy week celebrating our core values of Faith, Learning, Loving and Serving.  We Packed the Pews at St. Alphonsus, dressed as saints, played (or watched) staff vs students in volleyball and basketball - twice! Third graders attended mass at the Cathedral of Saint Andrew, K-8 students attended mass together at St. Alphonsus, and early childhood students had 'the big kids' visit their classrooms for snack time.  To round out the week, students that sold 50 or more raffle tickets in the fall were able to throw a pie in the face of a staff member.
