Students at St. Philip’s School Getting Ready for Catholic Schools Week

Students at St. Philip’s Catholic School in Litchfield had a special blessing last week as they celebrated the Feast of the Epiphany. The students are getting ready for Catholic Schools Week at the end of the month.

5th grader Logan says the special week will get started with a Spaghetti Dinner on Saturday, January 25th from 4:30-to-6:30 p.m. at the St. Philip’s Church Social Hall. He says Monday, January 27th will be pajama day and they will work on a birthday bag service project where they put together bags with items needed for a birthday party and donate them to the Meeker Area Food Shelf.

Logan says Thursday, January 30th, is jersey day and engineering day in which they will go to different rooms to make things. 5th grader Killian says they are especially looking forward to Tuesday, January 28th which is field trip day when the younger children will go roller skating and the older students will play laser tag.

Killian says Friday, January 31st is dress up day and all school bingo. 5th grader Emma says Wednesday, January 29th is the day when they can dress as their favorite character from a book or movie.

Emma says January 31st is also the day called mini courses day in which they will learn about new hobbies or games, so if anyone wants to share, they can call the school to sign up. Principal Andrea Dietrich says Catholic Schools Week will end with the Believe It Achieve It fundraising benefit with entertainment by the Dueling Guitars, dinner and a live auction on February 1st at the Litchfield Eagles Club.

Mrs. Dietrich says tickets for Believe It Achieve It are available at St. Philip’s School or at the Church of St. Philip in Litchfield.
