Catholic Schools Light the Way
A Poem By St. Joseph School's 6th Grade Class

     Catholic Schools light the way so let's kick off Catholic School's week the Catholic Schools way.

    Catholic Schools light the way as Jesus guides us everyday.

    Catholic Schools light the way by living life with praying during the day.

    Catholic Schools light the way as we need to pray, and heavens path will be lit some day.

    Catholic Schools light the way; you don't have to pay! Just follow the way.

    Catholic Schools light the way in what we say and do not only today
                                but also for the rest of our way.

    Hip! Hip! Hurray! Catholic Schools Light the Way!
