St. Mary celebrates a special week

Along with 6,000 schools across the nation, Lake Leelanau St. Mary participated in a celebration of Catholic education Jan. 28 through Feb. 3.

The week’s theme, “United in Faith and Community,” highlighted the schools’ focus on faith development, academic excellence and dedication to community service.

The week was filled with activity and joy as each day had a celebratory theme starting with family, followed by students, community, faculty/staff, vocations and nation. Friday rounded out the week with a basketball game and homecoming, followed by a dance on Saturday.
