Celebrating Catholic Schools Week - for TWO weeks!

In dioceses around the country National Catholic Schools Week is currently being observed with the 2014 theme of Catholic Schools: Communities of Faith, Knowledge and Service. The observance of Catholic Schools Week began in 1974 and this year marks its 40th anniversary.  According to the USCCB, "about 2.1 million students are currently educated in more than 6,600 Catholic schools in cities, suburbs, small towns and rural communities around the country... An estimated 99 percent of students graduate from high school and 85 percent of Catholic school graduates attend college." 

According to Archbishop George Lucas of Omaha Nebraska, chairman of the USCCB Committee on Education:
The heart of the apostolate of Catholic education is the mission to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Catholic schools provide a rich environment of faith and learning where students experience how much God loves them in Christ. They are free to express their own love for God in prayer and the celebration of the sacraments and to express love of neighbor in a community where each is respected as a gift from God. Our students hear Jesus inviting them to be his followers and friends, and they learn how to respond to him with generosity and faith.
To observe Catholic Schools Week we have a special offer:

All Catholic school orders receive free shipping and teacher materials (Workbook CD, Teacher Manual and teachers eBook of the textbook) through February 7th, 2014.

(Note - order must be for a classroom/homeschool co-op set of books, 7 textbooks books or more of the same title.)
