Auction Time!

What's the most important way that you can support the programs and people that make Sacred Heart School a great place for your child to learn and grow? Attend and support the auction! 

 

It is impossible to overstate the importance of the auction in our annual fundraising efforts. It is our largest fundraiser of the year. The money raised from the auction goes directly to supporting the programs and people you appreciate and enjoy: our school counselor, Spanish in pre-kindergarten through eighth grade, reading and math specialists, full-time art and music teachers, professional development for our staff, and much more.

 

This year's Fund-a-Need will support the school's endowment. This means that you will have the opportunity to support the current activities and programs of the school by attending and supporting the auction and the opportunity to support Sacred Heart School for next year and every year on into the future through your gift to the endowment. 

 

If you have already registered for the auction, "thank you!" If you haven't yet purchased your tickets, there's no reason to wait. You'll have a great time and you'll be supporting the school you love.

 

Middle School Open House - January 29th Presentation 6-8pm

Current 4th and 5th grade families, please put this on your calendar as it will be a great opportunity to meet all the MS teachers, hear from recent SHS graduates currently in HS, and ask any questions you may have about our amazing MS program.  Also, please invite any non-SHS families you know that are interested in making a switch for their child's middle school experience.  For these potential new families, we will also have short school tours available before and after the presentation time frame.  New families are welcome to come as early as 6pm for a tour.
