Celebrating Catholic Schools week January 25 - January 31, 2015
The national celebration of Catholic
Schools Week takes place across the country from January 25 – January 31,
2015. The theme for Catholic Schools Week 2015 is “Catholic Schools:
Communities of Faith, Knowledge, and Service.” Sacred Heart School in
Oelwein, celebrates education that goes beyond preparation
for a secular life, it is education that prepares students for a Christian
life. During this special week we celebrate the high standards of excellence
and the quality of the education available to all students at Sacred Heart as
well as those in Catholic elementary and secondary schools across the U.S.
It is my hope
that we are able to build a community awareness of the quality of education and
citizenship that is being taught to the children that have the blessing of
attending Sacred Heart. Our children can
speak to the importance of volunteering in their parish and their community as
they not only learn but practice the values of serving and caring for the needs
of others.
You might ask,
just what is so special about our Catholic schools? The answer is easy. Each day our community of supportive parents,
staff, parish leaders and dedicated students are hard at work continuing to
provide the tradition of quality educational opportunities for our youth. The full team is working hard to ensure that
our children are educated in mind, body, and spirit to be the best example of
Christ in the world today.
Enhanced by an
environment of prayer and caring for others, our Sacred Heart Catholic School
is serving as a quality faith filled educational institution that is fostering
a foundation of excellence for our children.
It is fostering an environment that can celebrate the freedom to teach
from a perspective of the love of Christ in our lives.
To all of those
that sacrifice, work and give of themselves for the success of Sacred Heart, I
say, “Thank You and God Bless You for
all you give.” Your sacrifice
and caring spirit are at the root of our success.
Congratulations
Sacred Heart Oelwein and all of our Catholic schools in the Archdiocese of
Dubuque.
