Catholic Schools Week 2020

This week, from January 26 through February 1, Stella Maris Academy is celebrating National Catholic Schools Week. All three campuses across the city of Duluth – St. James, St. John’s and Holy Rosary – will be buzzing with activities every day of the week, as well as service projects, prayer, and fun to celebrate and recognize Catholic school education. Every day features a different theme that inspires creativity, learning, appreciation for community, and friendship in the students.

Students will be dressed as their favorite superheroes! 

 On Wednesday, January 29 at St. John’s campus, students will take part in the Middle School Olympics opening ceremony, a joy-filled event for the whole campus that includes a presentation of countries with students dressed in their assigned nation’s traditional garb, as well as flag decorating, a cultural luncheon, and finally, the Olympic games on Friday.
