Free Dress Opportunity - May 11th
Support JDRF and get free dress! We are excited to announce that this year JDRF will be one of the sponsors of our SHS Jog-A-Thon. Representatives from JDRF will be there cheering our children on and educating them on the importance of living a healthy lifestyle. To give back to JDRF, on Monday, May 11th any student that brings in a donation of $2.00 or more may have free dress (please make checks out to JDRF). In addition they will get their name on a paper JDRF donation sneaker that will be displayed on the school walls. Let's support JDRF and cover the school walls with sneakers!
Jog-A-Thon Update
Our Jog-A-Thon fundraiser is off and running! We had a great kick-off event last Friday where your children got all of the event details. By now, you should have received an email from "support@99pledges" with your child's personal link to their donation page as well as specific instructions on how to forward the link to family and friends. If you have multiple students at SHS or would like to donate to your favorite teacher(s) donate via the general online donation page. In order to reach our school goal of $62,000, we are suggesting each child aim for a goal of $150.00. There are individual and classroom prizes. Remember, jog-a-thon donations count toward your $225.00 family flexible fundraising requirement. Your family will receive $.80 cents credit for each dollar raised in your student(s) name before midnight on May 18th! Thank you! - Jog-A-Thon Committee
New Lower Lot Drop-off Procedure to Start on Monday
Starting on Monday, May 4 we will be starting a new morning drop-off procedure in the lower lot. Please do not park to the East of the drop-off line (passenger side). Instead, please park to West (driver side). This procedure will greatly reduce the number of students crossing the drop-off line of cars. When you are finished parking, please head South and rejoin the drop-off line to exit at the North end of the parking lot. Do not exit on 14th St. as this will cause a back-up of cars trying to enter the parking lot. Please click here for visual directions.
- Mr. Burroughs

Afternoon Pre-Kindergarten Program
We are happy to announce the opening of an afternoon pre-kindergarten program beginning this fall. The class will run five days per week from 12:10-3:10 and follow the same curriculum as the morning program. Due to state regulations and academic concerns, students may not sign up for both the morning and afternoon sessions. For more information, please e-mail Susana Knapp.
Upcoming Changes in Service Board Sign-Ups
Service Jobs are an integral part of the Sacred Heart Community. By volunteering you enrich the academic and student environment for our students. We count on these jobs for the success of our school. This year we are excited to announce that we are moving all Service Job Sign-Ups online. To help with this transition we are offering an informational evening to come by and ask questions about any job and if it would be a good fit for your time and talents.
Here are the important dates to mark your calendar:
- May 7, 6:15 - 7pm Service Job Information Evening (no sign ups on this night) in Sheffield Library
- May 14, 7am Signup Genius Service Job link will go live
- August 31, Families not having a service job will be invoiced $1000
Through our Service Program, parents work side-by-side, develop friendships, and strengthen our community.
Any questions please e-mail Christine Kerr. Thank you.
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 next Friday, May 8th.
No Class Placement Requests
As a reminder, beginning with this year, we are no longer accepting requests for classroom placement. Placement will be decided by the students' current teachers together with the teachers in the next grade level along with the administration. The teachers know your children well and want the very best for them. Class lists for next year will be posted by the end of June. - Mr. Burroughs
