Spring Blast - April 14th
Carnival Fun
A busy day at the duck pond.
The Sacred Heart Area School Carnival was a fun time for boys, girls, young and old, with plenty of fun games and tasty food. All of this was made possible by the parishioners, school families, school staff, and members of the community that donated so much of their time, talents, and treasures. We want to especially want to recognize our carnival chair Ms. Heather Rinke (SHAS preschool teacher) and our carnival dinner chair Denise Brown (SHAS parent) for all their efforts in the organizing the event. The dinner, carnival, and raffle tickets rose over $24,000 for the continued operation of the school. Nearly $17,000 of that was from raffle ticket sales made by our families.
Crazy Hats and Community Service
On Friday of Catholic Schools Week the children celebrated with a Crazy Hat Day. The students sported everything from skunk fur hats to Dr. Seuss hats. Students were also asked this week to donate to those less fortunate. They brought in a total of $81.oo and two bags of groceries for the food shelf. Let your light continue to shine boys and girls!
Second graders are counting the money they collected for the food shelf.
SCRIP ORDER
We will be placing a SCRIP order on Monday, February 13th. We normally order on the first Wednesday of every month but things got a little crazy with the carnival. Order forms have been sent home with the kids, so please return them to the school by Monday the 13th. Remember SCRIP is fundraising while you shop for all of the things that you would normally buy for your family, groceries, clothing, toiletries etc…. Please call the school with any questions you have on SCRIP!!
Pajama Day and Community Dance
This was one of the most exciting days of Catholic Schools Week for the students. Everyone was very comfortable in their pajamas. All of us enjoyed taking some time this morning to drop everything and read. We also enjoyed dancing the last 20 minutes of the school day with our religious education students from Staples Elementary. Later that evening we met up again for our annual community dance. It was a great time for all. Many thanks to those who volunteered to help make this a success!dinner and auctiondinner and auction
Catholic Schools Week Fun and Games
This week’s Catholic Schools Week theme is SHINE, Share His Incredible News Everywhere. Each classroom decorated their door to the theme and students made mirror balls from crushed CD’s and styrofoam balls. Monday was Camouflage Day at Sacred Heart Area School, where the students and staff had fun showing off their favorite greens and browns. It looked like we were ready for a duck hunt. The day was topped of with delicious root beer floats.
Tuesday was Crazy Hair Day. There was a lot of creative hair-styling done in the morning. Thank you parents for all the laughs. We started the day off with a friendly game of Wheel of Fortune, and wrapped it up the with a “Drop Everything and Pray” event. All the students shared with us the person who taught them the most about their faith and then we prayed for all of them.
Catholic Schools Week Kicks-off at Sacred Heart Area School
This past weekend the students of Sacred Heart Area School participated in the Catholic Schools Week Kick-off Mass at Sacred Heart on Saturday evening and Sunday morning at St. Michael’s, reading the liturgies, performing with song and instruments, and hosting fellowship meals after. This was a great opportunity for parishioners of our two parishes to see the seeds that have been planted by their school.

This week Catholic Schools around the country will be celebrating what they are all about, which is family, faith, living, loving, and building the Kingdom of God hear on Earth. Keep checking sacredheartareaschool.org to see what we are up to throughout the week!
1st Graders Invite You to Kick-off Mass
Hello from the first graders! We are off to a great start in 2012! This week we read a story about two great friends, Frog and Toad. We learned about adjectives and “Bossy R”. We are becoming very good readers so please let us read to you at home!
We are also working on writing friendly letters. Place value and numbers to 120 are the topics in Math. We have also been learning how to add double digit numbers! This week we wrap up our Social Studies until quarter 4. We are excited to get back into Science next week and will be discussing Earth science. In Religion, we read about Jesus and will be learning about the amazing things he did while he was on Earth.
We are very excited for the upcoming Catholic Schools Week and hope to see you at the kick-off Masses on January 28th and 29th!
Have a wonderful week!
Dear Parents…
Thank you to all our parents who attended our Special Parent Meeting last night! There was a lot of information shared regarding the survey for parents’ interest in SHAS having a sixth grade and combined classes. Parents shared a lot of ideas and thoughts on what they want for their children and school. This meeting was an important step in the final decisions to be made on the future structure of our school. Your opinion does matters to us!
Items discussed were having a combined class of our smallest classes next year, which are this year’s 3rd and 4th grades classes. Also discussed, due to the 5 year projection of parent interest in sixth grade, was the possibility of continuing sixth grade at Sacred Heart until June 1st of 2014, because of the high interest from this year’s 4th and 5th grade parents. Our surveys show that there is a considerable drop of interest in our younger grades. If you want more information from what was discussed at the meeting or what the results were from the survey, please give us a call or stop by to visit.
Catholic Schools Week (CSW) is quickly approaching. We have a lot of fun experiences scheduled for the children. Details will be sent your way next week.
Please consider starting CSW out right by attending one of our kick-off masses scheduled for 5pm on January 28th, at Sacred Heart, and 10:30am on the 29th, at St. Michael’s. We hope your families can make it. Regardless of your denomination, you are all welcome to celebrate and worship together as a school family.
Please pray for Grandma Mona Weber and her husband Leonard. Leonard’s health is diminishing. We pray for strength for both of them.
God bless you all
