Catholic Schools Week
St. Helen School participated in Catholic Schools Week the week of Jan. 30 with several exciting events to celebrate the excellence of academics and faith that permeates throughout the school and community. Catholic Schools Week is a national celebration of Catholic education and an opportunity to reflect and celebrate all who make the schools great.
Each day had a theme and event. Sunday was the annual open house, where the parish family and greater community were invited to see all the amazing learning that has been happening at St. Helen School. Monday was student day. The students enjoyed a day in comfortable pajamas, a special movie together and no homework.
On Tuesday, the students took time to thank their community helpers. In the afternoon, they enjoyed a special visit from Geauga County Sheriff’s Office, with Sgt. Don and his team, which included some four-legged friends who help as service work dogs.
Wednesday was “Hat’s Off to Our Parents” with crazy hat or hair day. The students took time to thank their parents for the opportunity to learn and grow at St. Helen. They enjoyed an all-school game of bingo together.
On Thursday the students took time to learn about various vocations and thanked the Sisters of Notre Dame for their help and example of living a consecrated life. The students gathered in the gym for line dancing in the afternoon.
The school and staff had a wonderful time celebrating St. Helen Catholic School.
