Catholic Schools Week - January 26- 30

The week was filled with special activities. Students wrote essays/letters on what Sacred Heart means to them. One of the second graders wrote, “Sacred Heart is what heaven would look like. Sacred Heart is my dream school. This school is magic. This school is better than any other school. I’m glad my parents sent me here. This school is God’s house. This school is the Catholic Church. I love this school.” (More on Catholic Schools Week.)
