January 25-30, 2026 - Catholic Schools: United in Faith and Community
(Rescheduled February 2-6 due to snow!)
Since 1974, National Catholic Schools Week has been the annual celebration of Catholic education in the United States. It starts the last Sunday in January and runs all week, and includes activities and events for all members of the school community.
All week long:
Gratitude Project: Each classroom will create a poster of what they're grateful for at Mother Seton School. Families are also invited to share their gratitude for MSS by posting a note on our virtual wall. POST A NOTE
Little Boxes of Blessings: The National Junior Honor Society is sponsoring a collection of personal items and cleaning supplies for women staying at Faith House transitional housing at the Frederick Rescue Mission. The collection runs from January 20-Feb 13. Students will create shoeboxes containing special personal items for the women. Download the flyer for a list of needed items! FLYER
