Dear Friends of Sacred Heart:

Thanks to you our school has collected ~5800 Boxtops for Education (which translates to $580 clear money for the school!) and 9217 Campbell’s Labels for Education, part of which was used this year to purchase new library books. What an awesome effort on your part! Congratulations and enjoy a great summer, and see you in the fall!

Due to the impending inclement weather for Monday and Tuesday, this year’s field day is being moved to Friday, May 30th. Monday’s physical education classes will meet like usual.

This is also a call for volunteers for the new date. Please return the form to the school if you are able to help. Volunteers are asked to be at the school for 8:30 and noon for the morning and afternoon shifts. And remember hours should be recorded in the volunteer log.

As the end of the year nears, the students will take part in Sacred Heart School’s annual Field Day. The goal of the day is fresh air, exercise and some good old-fashioned fun! Several centers will be set up in the back-field of our school and each class will travel from activity to activity tailoring the game to their appropriate ability. Parents, friends, and grandparents are asked to volunteer some of their time to help the day run smoothly.

A picnic lunch will be provided of hamburgers or hot dogs, watermelon, chips, and drink on the lawn for those who would like a school meal. No alternates will be served. Students are welcome to bring a bag lunch. Bring your sunscreen and follow the sound of laughter for a guaranteed good time!

Sacred Heart School is fortunate to host a group of Pfizer professionals on May 19th for Science Day. This annual event provides the students the opportunity to take on the role of “Scientist for the Day” as they move from room to room throughout the school making observations and taking part in age appropriate experiments centered around a single theme. The theme for 2008 is The Five Senses.

The students can be assured that they will experience science at it’s best. May 19th will be a fun filled, learning experience for all students, faculty and staff, as well as the volunteers who come to share their talents with our Sacred Heart Family.

Two very exciting events have taken third grade by storm, and Sacred Heart School is awfully proud of the accomplishments of Ms. Santangelo’s class.

Earlier this spring the class took part in a poster contest for the Town of Groton Youth and Family Services along with other elementary schools in the city and town of Groton. The poster contest was to promote child abuse prevention. Seth Rockwell and Shenandoah Terry were both invited along with their families to an award ceremony where they were honored as winners of the poster contest and thanked for their thoughtful work. Their work can be found in the Town of Groton 2009 Youth and Family Services poster.

Ms. Santangelo is once again proud to announce that her students are going to be published authors. However, for the first time she can gladly say all of her students are published. The poems that will be in the 2008 anthology of poetry are on the third grade bulletin board in the cafeteria. Should you want to get your hands on the wonderful work of the third grade students… contact: Creative Communications, 1488 North 200 W, Logan, Utah 84341. The students will also be presenting their poetry books for all, at the May Guild meeting.

Please check out our new Catholic school advocacy page. The first entry is from the Connecticut Federation of Catholic School Parents, which was created by the three bishops of Connecticut to lobby for our schools.

It's time to plan for next school year - already! Please fill out the registration document below to ensure that your child(ren) will have a place in the school next year (actual enrollment paperwork will follow next month). Open enrollment for families not currently at Sacred Heart School begins Monday, January 28.

As we begin a celebration of Catholic Schools Week at Sacred Heart School, the weekend events will be exciting and important. Fr. Dariusz has asked Deacon David Young, principal of Sacred Heart School, to preach at all the Masses on the weekend of January 26th and 27th. He will offer the second collection at each mass for our school. We are asking for Sacred Heart Students to come to the Masses, dressed in school uniforms, and, if possible, volunteer to be lectors, singers, gift bearers, and altar servers.

Please visit the Inclement Weather page to view our policies on delayed openings, early dismissal, and school closings.
