Students at Resurrection Catholic School celebrated Catholic Schools Week in spite of weather-related cancellations that changed many of their plans for traditional activities.

Multicolored glow sticks shone in a darkened gym during a Light Glows Forth ceremony Jan. 29. The colors represented the various groups that support the school and also the different ways they contribute.

Guests represented donors, benefactors, volunteers, families, parishes, current and past students and staff, religious education and the media.
On Jan. 28, students created hundreds of valentines for veterans at area veterans' hospitals. When school closed due to cold weather, the breakfast for families was rescheduled for Feb. 5.
