Catholic Schools Week Events 2021
Due to the current circumstances with COVID-19, CSW will look very different this year. We are working hard to find fun and creative ways to celebrate the blessing of Catholic education while still adhering to all of the safety guidelines and recommendations. Here is a tentative schedule of our Catholic Schools Week activities:
January 31st - In Our Parish – 9:00 a.m. Drive -Thru Pancake Breakfast at the Annunciation Catholic Church Activities Center - This year, our traditional Pancake Breakfast fundraiser hosted by the Knights of Columbus for Catholic School's Week will be held to-go. The event will take place at the Annunciation Catholic Church Activities Building located at 823 College Street (across street from church) on Sunday, January 31st from 9:00 - 10:00 a.m. To-go plates include pancakes, eggs, and sausage. Tickets can be purchased at the link below from our Eagle's Nest Spirit Store (your emailed receipt from this order is your breakfast ticket - simply show it to the person at the door to pick up your breakfast) or pay at the door the morning of the event.

February 1st - In Our Community - One Mile Fun Run - Students will participate in a one-mile fun run on school grounds to celebrate In Our Community Day to kick-off Catholic Schools Week 2021. We ask that each student donate $5 (or more, if desired) to register for the event. The proceeds from this event will go to the Golden Triangle Homeless Coalition. After speaking with a representative from the organization, we have been made aware that they are in desperate need of funds right now. Due to COVID-19, they have not been able to provide warming stations on cold nights like they have done in the past. Instead, they have been providing hotel rooms to our local homeless population as funds are available. This is a wonderful way for us to help our community while adhering to our COVID-19 Safety Guidelines. Donations/Registration can be made online at https://st-marys-annunciation-catholic-school.square.site/ or by sending cash or check to the office. Students may wear athletic attire on this day.
February 2nd - In Our Nation - Parade - we will hold our annual In Our Nation Day parade at 9:30 a.m. We are unable to invite outside guests this year, but we encourage families to spectate from their vehicles along the parade route which will be around the school on Browder Street, Alabama Street, Garner Boulevard, and Maxwell Street. In addition to our parade, we will be making Valentines for Veterans to take to the local VA Clinic and writing letters to deployed troops through Operation Gratitude.
February 3rd - In Our Parents, Volunteers and Donors - This is a day for us to celebrate you! Look for a little surprise coming your way!
February 4th - Grandparents' Day (We will not be hosting any guests on campus) - We will have Grandparents' Day mass via Facebook Live at 8:30 a.m. as well as our virtual book fair. In addition, each class is working hard to prepare a video presentation; the presentations may be live or prerecorded. Grandparents will receive via email and/or text the link to view/join these presentations from their grandchild’s teacher.
February 5th - In Our Students - Students will have a fun-filled day of movies, pizza and SNOW CONES! No lunch orders needed for this day. We will be providing pizza and snow cones for every student in the school! The snow cone bus will be visiting that afternoon from 12:00 – 2:00 for an icy treat.
February 6th - Open House for Prospective Students - TELL ALL YOUR FRIENDS ABOUT ACS!!!
