National School Choice Week / Catholic Schools Week

I had the privilege of being the opening speaker today at our local school choice event.  It is important that we continue to improve the educational opportunities for our children at all levels.  Having a variety of schooling options from which to choose creates some healthy competition.  It should prompt each institution to strive for excellence.

Next week (beginning on Sunday) we celebrate the annual tradition of Catholic Schools Week.  This is a time when we have the opportunity to “toot our own horn” in regard to the good things taking place in Catholic education. This week sometimes causes a little extra stress with activities that are a bit out of the norm.  I simply offer a word of encouragement and gratitude to the teachers and administrators that make this week phenomenal.  Your dedication to Catholic education is greatly appreciated.
