 In celebration of Catholic Schools Week the Greater New Bedford Catholic elementary schools joined with the students of Bishop Stang High School in a joint FIAT (Faith in Action Together) project. The FIAT Book Drive was a huge success and the students collected an astonishing 3500 children’s books which were donated to an inner city elementary school’s literacy program. The books not used by the elementary school are to be donated to a middle school and a service organization in the greater New Bedford area.The FIAT program (Faith In Action Together) is Bishop Stang’s Christian Service program. All Stang juniors and seniors are required to participate in at least one FIAT per year (graduation requirement), although many choose to do more than one. Each program includes an educational, service, and reflective component.
 Greater New Bedford Catholic Schools students display some of the hundreds of books collected.
 Bishop Stang students pack over 3000 books donated by Greater New Bedford Catholic Schools students.
In celebration of Catholics Schools Week, Grade 6, 7, and 8 students from Greater New Bedford Catholic Schools gathered at Bishop Stang High School to be inspired by the faith witness and awesome music of Tony Melendez.
As part of our Catholic Schools Week celebration, Greater New Bedford Catholic School students in grades 4 and 5 enjoyed an interactive science demonstration at Bishop Stang high School provided by Miss Kathy Crosson and Bishop Stang students.
Preschool and Kindergarten students from Greater New Bedford Catholic Schools visited with Mother Goose during Catholic Schools Week. Mother Goose ( former Fairhaven Music teacher Natalie Hemingway) shared her stories with over 350 students, who in turn sang songs to show “What We Learn at School.”
Each of our elementary schools has an open house and registration beginning January 31st.
Contact your local Greater New Bedford Catholic School to schedule a visit and see the great learning environment and many opportunities our schools offer!
