Our students were “doing the most good” as they volunteered at The Salvation Army of Corsicana this week. Students sorted clothes, cleaned the store, and worked in the food pantry. We are grateful for the opportunity to partner with organizations that give back to our community.
These kindergarten and first grade students are becoming servant leaders! In celebration of National Catholic Schools Week, these students volunteered at the Corsicana Public Library. They scrubbed down every shelf, table, chair, and surface they could reach. Special thanks to the amazing staff at our Corsicana Public Library for hosting our group and for the delicious donuts and juice boxes afterwards.
What a fantastic way to kick off National Catholic Schools Week! City of Corsicana Mayor, Mike Fletcher, came to campus to read a proclamation for NCSW. Afterwards, Mrs. Laura Whiteside was announced as the Educator of the Year nominee. Our students were also recognized for attendance awards, A honor roll, and A/B honor roll for the second quarter. Special thanks to Schulman's Movie Bowl Grille - Corsicana for providing these students with prizes for their achievements.
