Subject: | Resolution Designating January 30 through February 5, 2022 as "Catholic Schools Week" in Pennsylvania |
In the near future, I will be introducing a resolution designating the week of January 30 through February 5, 2022, as “Catholic Schools Week” in Pennsylvania. This year’s theme is Catholic Schools: Faith. Excellence. Service. 1.6 million students are enrolled in Catholic elementary and secondary schools nationwide, and 135,124 students enrolled in in Pennsylvania. Parents that choose Catholic schools repeatedly cite high academic standards, a safe school environment, and values-added education as the reasons for their choice. Data shows that 99% of Catholic school students graduate and 95% go to college. Catholic schools instill a strong sense of values, self-esteem, confidence and leadership skills in their students and are an important part of communities across the Commonwealth. Please join me in co-sponsoring this important resolution. |
