Catholic Schools Week

 

Because of the generous support of our St. Clement community, we raised $10,357 to support The Amigos Academy. We are so grateful for all of your donations. Please watch the thank you video below that we received from Nic Hermann, the Education Director at The Amigos Academy and St. Clement alumnus.

 

 

We are so excited to be celebrating Catholic Schools Week from January 30th - February 3rd!

Now entering its 49th anniversary year, National Catholic Schools Week (CSW) is an annual celebration of Catholic education in the United States. This year the theme for Catholic Schools Week is: Faith, Excellence and Service. As communities of faith, Catholic schools instill in students their destiny to become saints.  Academic excellence is the hallmark of Catholic education intentionally directed to the growth of the whole person – mind, body and spirit.  Finally, service is fundamental to Catholic education and the core of Catholic discipleship.  Service is intended to help form people who are not only witnesses to Catholic social teaching, but also active participants through social learning.

 

This year we are supporting The Amigos Academy in La Chuscada, Nicaragua. The Amigos Academy in the rural community of La Chuscada provides quality education that focuses on excellence, innovation, and being a model for other schools. Equipped with the best teachers, curriculum, and technology, their students are receiving one-of-a-kind opportunities to develop and thrive academically. They are committed to investing in the futures of their students and developing the next generation of leaders and visionaries in Nicaragua.
