Immaculate Conception’s Home and School Association will present an open house at the school from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 29.

The event is part of the school’s celebration of Catholic Schools Week.

This year’s theme for Catholic Schools Week is “Faith. Academics. Service.” It focuses on the school’s commitment to infuse students with a rich understanding of their faith, strong academics and service to others.

“Immaculate Conception School, established in 1904, is dedicated to providing our students with a quality education true to the Catholic tradition where academic excellence is pursued by all,” event organizers noted.

“Our faith is modeled and taught, expressed in worship and prayer, and uniquely lived in service to others,” they said. “Our high standards are based upon the Diocesan Curriculum Guidelines and the New York State Learning Standards. We encourage each child to grow spiritually, academically and socially. We hope to nurture students who will be dedicated to life-long learning and who will make a positive difference in the world.”

During the open house, visitors can tour the school and meet with members of its teaching staff and parents of currently enrolled students. The school is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools. The school offers full-day kindergarten, computer and science labs, advanced math and science courses, and many sports programs and other activities.

Immaculate Conception School is located at 510 Oakwood Ave., East Aurora. Call 652-5855 or visit immaculateconceptionea.com for more information.
