Dear Saint John’s School Families,

Did you know that Catholic Schools Week began in 1974?  Catholic Schools Week always begins the last Sunday in January .   The theme for the National Catholic Schools Week 2013 is “Catholic Schools Raise the Standards.” The 2013 theme supports the recent launch of the National Standards and Benchmarks for Effective Catholic Elementary and Secondary Schools, that ensure the effective operation and responsible governance Catholic schools across the country, thus promoting high academic standards and Catholic identity.

Below you will find how Saint John the Evangelist School celebrates the week.  We look forward to your participation in these events.

Shalom,

Mrs. Schmitt
