The “ASCA Annual Fund” Is About Maintaining Our Core Values
At http://www.weteachmore.com/ , the Diocese of Joliet reminds us of the core elements we value so deeply in our Catholic schools. This is who we are and why we are here, and the ASCA Annual Fund helps us to keep our core values alive.
• Incorporating Faith into the Classroom and into every aspect of our curriculum, reinforcing to students that their personal faith, centered on the Eucharist and the sacraments, remains ever relevant.
• Balancing Challenging Courses with a Nurturing Environment, recognizing that each child is unique and ever‐deserving of individualized attention and one-on‐one focus.
• Collaborating with Families, with our teachers and school leadership doing their best to maintain proactive, candid and open communication with each student’s family.
• Holding Each Other to a Higher Standard of professionalism, morals and ethics, as we are inspired by the Gospel.
• Looking ahead with constant focus on technology, new ideas and best practices.
