CATHOLIC SCHOOLS WEEK
-
Dear Vi
sitation Family & Friends,
Please join us for National Catholic Schools Week, our annual celebration of what makes education at Visitation Academy outstanding.
We're starting with Sunday Mass on January 26TH at 12pm, an Open House from 1-3 p.m., and a whole week of activities planned to show what our students are accomplishing and to celebrate the community we have built to educate tomorrow’s citizens and church leaders. Please join us in the celebration!
The theme of our celebration is “United in Faith and Community.” The days of Catholic Schools Week focus on Community, Students, The Nation, Vocations, and our faculty, staff, parents, and volunteers. These themes encompass the core products and values found in Catholic schools across the country. We teach students to become future servant leaders, faith-filled disciples, and enriched community citizens.
In Catholic schools, we are all learners, servants, and leaders. These shared qualities are what make Catholic schools work. They are what make Catholic schools succeed. The theme also focuses on key elements of Catholic education: faith development, academic excellence, and dedication to service. These elements set Catholic schools apart from other educational options. This is why families sacrifice to provide their children with a Catholic education.
I hope you will visit us during National Catholic Schools Week to enjoy the events and help take part in the service projects.
PLEASE bring your friends and neighbors, particularly those who may be considering Catholic education for their children, to our Open House on Sunday, January 26th, from 1 to 3 p.m. It is an excellent opportunity to meet the faculty and staff and talk to current parents and students to learn what makes Visitation Academy a nurturing and Christ-centered community.
I am grateful every day to the teachers, staff, board members, parents, and volunteers who make our school a success. National Catholic Schools Week is a good time for all of us to thank them for their dedication and service.
Devotedly yours in Christ,
Dr. Karen Drew

spirit wear contest!
Design Your Own Visitation Academy Spirit Wear
Every student has a chance to submit their drawing to be entered to win the chance to be this school year’s Spirit Wear designer and showcase their original design for sale. It is ONLY $3 to enter, and all drawings will be displayed during Catholic School’s Week, and the school will vote on 1/31/25.
Rules:
Design a black-and-white picture that represents what VA means to you, a new logo, or even your take on the mascot.
All drawings must be done on a sheet of white copy paper and done in black ink, with no coloring. They must also follow the student handbook and rules of the school, such as no curse words, appropriate content, and no violence.
Parents must sign the attached permission slip stating that they are aware that their child is submitting their drawing, and if chosen, their drawing will be produced on t-shirts for the students and families of the school. This means extended family members and friends outside of VA may be wearing their design, too.
It is $3 to enter the contest. Please send the drawing and attach the envelope with the permission slip and $3 with the student’s name, grade, and attention: HSA.
All drawings must be submitted by 1/24/25 so they can be displayed for the Open House and Catholic School’s Week. On 1/31/25, the students of VA will be able to vote for their favorite design. The winner will be announced the week of February 3rd, and shirts will be available to purchase by the end of February.
