Catholic Schools Week 2021 was a huge hit! Despite the many challenges of this particular school year, all of this year's Catholic Schools Week events (from the family scavenger hunt to beach Bingo and beyond!) were truly enjoyed by the students just as much as any other year! Thank you for all that you do to support Catholic schools!
