This is Catholic Education Week.
The theme is Living as Joyful Disciples.
Education Director with the Northwest Catholic District School Board Brendan Hyatt says there are five sub-themes.
“Rooted in Prayer, Living in Community, Doing Justice and Creating Hope, Journeying Together in Faith and Sharing the Good News,” explains Hyatt.
Hyatt says it’s also a week to highlight the students’ and staff’s contributions to catholic education.
Schools will be holding a variety of events in celebration.
“Schools will be celebrating things like the living rosary with our CWL (Catholic Women’s League) and K of C (Knights of Columbus) partners. There will be spelling bees in French and English that parents and committee members can take in,” says Hyatt.
You’ll find the list of activities on the board’s and schools’ websites and social media sites.
