Students and staff at St. Francis School in Marshalltown are currently celebrating “Catholic Schools Week.”

St. Francis School Principal Terry Eisenbarth says everyone at school is very much excited and eagerly looking forward to what lies ahead throughout the week.

According to Terry, the week-long observance serves a specific purpose when it comes to life-long hapiness and maintaining religious faith.

Catholic Schools Week kicked off on January 30th and runs through February 5th.
