Allentown Central Catholic High School celebrated Catholic Schools Week Jan. 26-30.

This annual event was a chance to celebrate the opportunity to be part of a Catholic school. The week's events reminded everyone who is involved with a Catholic school about the values and importance of their education.

All Catholic schools had different events planned and certain days feature certain themes.

Allentown Central Catholic held a student appreciation day Jan. 28. Students were treated to ice cream at lunch.

Administrators, faculty and staff were the focus Jan. 29 and events were planned to show gratitude to those who are in charge of the day-to-day demands at Central Catholic.
