FEBRUARY 2016

Celebrating Catholic Schools Week
Visitation of Our Lady School recently celebrated Catholic Schools Week. Activities were planned for each
day of the week centering around the theme: "Catholic Schools: Communities of Faith, Knowledge and
Service." The week began with a special Mass and skit performed by members of the school's Student
Council and HALO Club. The theme of service was highlighted as students were asked to perform random
acts of kindness for others during the week. Older students were paired with younger students to create
banners displaying the theme of service. The school collected toiletries for the Harry Tompson Center, an
organization that assists the homeless in New Orleans. The goal of providing 50 toiletry bags to
commemorate the school's fiftieth anniversary was more than tripled due to the generosity of the parents and
students. The week ended with the school's choir performing at Lakeside Shopping Center for the Catholic
Schools Arts and Music Festival.

displaying the theme of service. Pictured left to right are Alex
