This Week is Catholic School Week of 2013

The week of Jan. 27 to Feb. 2 is National Catholic Schools Week 2013.

Rocky Hill Patch would love to Catholic churches in Rocky Hill to contribute to the site and we will show you how. Share your youth programs, youth choirs or anything you need to get on the site. That goes for all schools in Rocky Hill.

The theme for the National Catholic Schools Week 2013 is “Catholic Schools Raise the Standards.” The annual observance starts the last Sunday in January and runs all week, which in 2013 is January 27 to February 2. Schools typically celebrate Catholic Schools Week with Masses, open houses, and other activities for students, families, parishioners, and the community at large.

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. The logo designed for the week illustrates a chart of steady growth culminating in the highest achievement of all, a cross representing the faith that underscores all Catholic education.
