Update: Back to school during Catholic Schools Week
When Catholic Schools Week rolls around in late January, I literally go back to Catholic school. This week, I’m reporting on two events related to our Catholic schools, a 20th anniversary reception for the D.C. Opportunity Scholarship Program, and a First Communion at St. Mary’s School in Rockville, Maryland.
But I’m also reminded of my own Catholic school experience, how years ago, my fourth grade teacher at St. Joseph School in Kimmswick, Missouri, Sister Kathleen Donovan, a School Sister of Notre Dame, read passages from “Charlotte’s Web” to us (that’s still my favorite book) and encouraged our creativity in writing and art.
