There’s always a reason to celebrate our schools, but the impact of private education and parental choice is nationally recognized each January and February.

This week is National Catholic Schools Week, and the governor also proclaimed it Catholic Schools Week in Wisconsin. Last week was National Lutheran Schools Week and also National School Choice Week. (If we’re missing any other “weeks,” please let us know!)

WCRIS staff attended LUMIN Schools’ Opportunity Day event in Milwaukee last week, featuring student performances, appreciation for parent choice in education and a celebration of the thousands of dollars LUMIN students generated for Children’s Hospital through their lemonade stand fundraiser.

If you have photos from the events your school hosted in honor of any of these (or other) celebrations, please send them to WCRIS.

WCRIS recognizes the impact of all our 600 member schools all the time, whether or not there’s a “week” for it. Thank you for all you do your students, staff and community. Please reach out if we can be of assistance to your school. We’re here to serve you!
