Catholic Schools Week
-
January 30, 2022 - February 5, 2022Since 1974, National Catholic Schools Week is the annual celebration of Catholic education in the United States. It begins the last Sunday in January and runs all week, which in 2022 is January 30-February 5.
The theme for National Catholic Schools Week 2022 is “Catholic Schools: Faith, Excellence, Service.”
At STSJP we will celebrate with Masses, open houses, fundraisers for our sister school in Haiti, and fun dress-up days.
Here’s a look at the week of Jan. 30-Feb. 5:
Weekend Masses (Jan. 29 and 30): Students wear uniforms to Mass and qualify for a future non-uniform day on February 18. Our students will make announcements at each Mass.
Monday, Jan. 31: All Mixed Up! Wear your clothes backwards, inside-out, or mismatched.
Tuesday, Feb. 1: Holiday Day! Dress in the theme of one of your favorite holidays.
Wednesday, Feb. 2: Decades Day! Pick a decade with a fun style and have fun. The 80’s are usually popular!
Thursday, Feb. 3: Hero Day! Dress like one of your heroes. It could be a character from a comic book, or a movie, or maybe your mom or your dad or even a favorite teacher.
Friday, Feb. 4: Favorite Outfit Day! Wear your favorite school-appropriate clothes.
Dress-up Day Guidelines: Any student may replace any of these days with jeans and spirit wear. Modesty is expected. You may not wear jeans with holes that show any skin. If you choose to wear leggings, your shirt must cover your rear end.
