Blast Off to Catholic Schools Week
By Raegan Billinger and Carmen Brull

On Monday, January 31st, Holy Family Elementary kicked off Catholic Schools Week with a prayer service to show how much we appreciate God and our Catholic schools for all they do for us.

Later that afternoon, the school gathered in the auditorium for a sock hop. The students were jumping around, dancing, and singing along to the 60’s music selected by the teachers. Teachers, such as Mrs. Stoecklein, Mrs. Washburn, Mrs. Bieker, and Mrs. Kim Simon, were decked out in Harley Davidson gear, riding scooters and mini mopeds around the auditorium. After a while of dancing, the 6th grade students sang the chorus of the song, “The Time” by the Black-Eyed Peas. Everybody left dancing and singing back to their classrooms in happy spirits. It was a fantastic way to kick off Catholic Schools Week.
