Passion Play and Silent Dismissal

On Good Friday our 5th grade presents four performances of an adapted version of a medieval passion play. This play is a dramatic recreation of the suffering and death of Jesus. All are invited to attend. Finally, on Good Friday, in recognition of the death of Jesus on the cross we exit school at 11:45 silently. We do this both out of sorrow for the death of our Lord and as a sign of our gratitude for the wonderful gift he gave us. - Mr. Burroughs

Food Drive April 25^th

Sacred Heart School is hosting a food drive at the QFC in downtown Bellevue in support of the Renewal Food Bank. Student volunteers and parent chaperones are invited to sign up today. All students should wear their uniform while volunteering (it does increase donations).

Grandparents' and Grandfriends' Day

Sacred Heart School is excited to once again welcome your children's grandparents and grandfriends to our school for a morning of liturgy and time with the children on May 8. As we are busy preparing for this special day, we need your help in letting us know if the grandparentsand/or grandfriends in your family will be attending. Please RSVP your confirmation with the number of grandparents attending as well as their mailing address by clicking on the following webpage. Once we receive your confirmation, we will send out a formal invitation to the attending guests.

It is very important that we receive this information as soon as possible, as we will have a complimentary continental breakfast specifically for the grandparents and grandfriends and we want to ensure the caterer has the correct number of attendees.

- Thank you for your attention and we look forward to welcoming these special guests to our school.

Yearbook team needs your help! We are looking for candid photos from the school year for all grades - field trips, dances, playground, classroom, science fair, culture fair, wax museum, etc. We are also looking for some great selfies from our students. I know we've all seen them on Instagram so send them to yearbook@sacredheart.org for a special section of the yearbook. Top 5 selfies will receive a Jamba Juice gift card!

2015-16 Middle School Locker Day

Thank you to all the families who have currently donated to this year's Treasures of Faith Annual Fund.

The funds raised through the Treasures of Faith Annual Fund go to support increased school counseling services, Spanish curriculum throughout all grades, new textbooks and more. We strive to provide the highest quality catholic education to all students and we need your support.

We have currently received $109,000 or about 50% toward the Treasures of Faith Annual Fund goal. If you have not yet made a pledge or a payment or would like to make an additional payment, please be sure to send in donation at your earliest convenience.
