January 26 - 30 Catholic Schools Week

The National Catholic Educators Association designates the last week in January for Catholic Schools Week. The theme is Communities of Faith, Knowledge and Service. Schools across the country will be celebrating the unique nature of Catholic education in our country in many different ways. Students here at Seton have been working hard to create a week in which we celebrate our Catholic Heritage, acknowledge the many who make the school what it is, and the students themselves. Attached is an outline for the celebration - many other special things will happen in the course of the week.
