WHAT IS CATHOLIC SCHOOLS WEEK?
Catholic Schools Week is an annual celebration of Catholic education and an opportunity for the community to recognize the importance, the value, and the contributions of Catholic education. St. Edward-Epiphany School, along with Catholic schools across the nation, commemorates Catholic Schools Week with celebrations, Masses, Open Houses, and activities for students, families, parishioners, and community members. Catholic Schools Week events showcase and celebrate the rich traditions and the incredible value of Catholic education on both a local and national level.
TOGETHER, WE CELEBRATE!
Catholic Schools Week will be celebrated January 26 through February 1, 2020. This year’s theme is Learn. Serve. Lead. Succeed. Each day of Catholic Schools Week, SEES will offer activities and events that provide the opportunity to celebrate our school and the community that surrounds us. We encourage parents, grandparents, parishioners, prospective families, visitors and community members to join us and see firsthand the benefits of students learning, playing, praying and living out their faith here at SEES
