Catholic Schools Week
Begins the last Sunday in January and runs all week, which in 2022 is
Jan. 30 – Feb. 5.
At St. Mary's and across the United States, Catholic Schools Week is a celebration of Catholic education. The National Catholic Education Association (NECA) selects a theme and each school plans activities around this theme. At St. Mary's, Catholic Schools Week is a celebration of all the elements of our school that make it such a great place- students, parents, faculty, staff, friends, and the entire parish community.

MAY
Please save the date May 14th, 2022!
Going West for the Gold is St. Mary's Catholic School's largest fundraiser. It is a reverse raffle with silent and live auctions. For $100 you can purchase a ticket for a steak dinner and drinks for 2 with a chance at $5,000! If you've never been...it is a lot of fun!
Tickets can be purchased by past buyers in March and new attendees in April. Tickets are purchased through the school office.
Going West for the Gold will be held on the first Saturday in May at the Knights of Columbus Hall here in West and attendees must be 21 years of age.
Our event in 2022 will be held the 2nd saturday in May due to our parish's confirmation needing to be the first weekend.
The event takes months of preparation and wouldn't be possible with out a ton of volunteer help and sponsorships. In 2019 we surpassed our goal of raising $45,000 for the school. AMAZING! In 2020 we canceled the event due to COVID-19, and in 2021 we hosted the event virtually. We are looking forward to a great gathering when we bring it back in May of 2022!
The money raised from Going West for the Gold is what helps to keep our tuition at St. Mary's affordable. This money goes back to the school to help each student.
Mark your calendars for a fun-filled Saturday:
May 14th, 2022
