Catholic Schools Week Thoughts

Some of our 5th grade students recently submitted some thoughts on what a Catholic education means to them:

Catholic schools are important because they teach us about God. There are so many good people at Catholic schools. You always get a good education. The teachers are very nice.

My parents sent me to a Catholic school because they wanted me to be a follower of Christ. At Catholic schools there are a lot of good role models, not to mention how much fun we have. People should send their kids to a Catholic school.

I wish everyone went to a Catholic school. We get to talk about God, and we can pray whenever we want. At a Catholic school there is very little bullying. My favorite thing we do is field day. You get to do a lot of fun games and activities. It is AWESOME!

This week all Catholic schools are celebrating Catholic Schools Week. We celebrate this to show that we are Catholic. There are a lot of unique details about this week, like Spirit Day, Teacher Appreciation day, etc… I enjoy going to a Catholic School because you can always pray or spread the works of Jesus. My friends and I, for example, always say a Hail Mary when we see or hear an ambulance or fire truck go by.

I have been going to a Catholic school for seven years. Over the time I’ve learned a lot about a ton of things, but what astonishes me is what happened in Jesus’ time period. There were a lot of miracles being performed then. That’s what’s cool about Catholic school: you can learn so much if you go here.

I go to EER, and I know a lot of people who go to public schools. Sure, they get to dress down every day, but they don’t get to learn about God as much as we do. Catholic Schools Week isn’t just about dressing down or doughnuts, it’s about expressing your faith. Public schools don’t go to Church during school, but we do. We learn a lot about God but we have fun doing it. So go to a Catholic school today.

Catholic schools are important because they teach children the importance of having God in your life. Catholic schools let you talk about God. I have gone to Saint Joseph Cathedral School for seven years. I made my first communion and reconciliation here too.

You should go to a Catholic school because you get to learn about God. At our Catholic School there is hardly any bullying. You can always go to a teacher for moral help and support too.

It is a good idea to send your children to a Catholic school because it can have an effect on them for the rest of their lives. I have done a lot of growing up here. Most Catholic schools try to teach responsibilities and kindness. We get to go to church at least once a week, too.
