Dear Sacred Heart Families,

What a beautiful week! The students have been taking the NWEA test this week and we will complete the testing by the end of next week. Your child’s testing results will be available during Parent

Teacher Conferences on Oct. 21st and Oct. 22nd. They all did a  great job!

On Oct. 6th, the Lenawee Health Department will be here to test the students hearing and vision. They will send a letter home if your child needs to be examined by a doctor.

Join us today at 2:00 for a Pet Blessing in honor of St. Francis of Assisi. The students come over and Father Todd blesses our pets.

Sacred Heart Families,

I hope you are having a wonderful Friday and are able to get out and enjoy the beautiful weather we have coming this weekend! Thank you for helping Sacred Heart begin the school year with joy and enthusiasm. Your children are a pleasure to teach and we are so grateful to you for raising such polite and hard working kids!
See the Friday Newsletter for school announcements and upcoming events.9.24.21

“Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” Thessalonians 5:16-18
Let Us Pray
We begin the day in morning prayer. It is the time of day when we can all be together as a community to begin the day with God. This year, we have been gathering around the flagpole at the front of the school. It is a little chilly in the morning, but we are so happy to be able to gather together, that it is worth being a bit uncomfortable. Last week, the students were able to close their eyes and experience meditative prayer. We slow down our breath and think deeply about our body and our connection to our minds as we ask for God to join us in our thoughts and our calm.
Walk of Faith is Friday, Sept. 24th- Please join us if you have the time. It is a great day to reflect on our community and our freedom by supporting active duty military with Care Packages. We will be collecting item and money for the Care Packages until September 24th at the entrance of the Church and School. A huge thank you to the Nick and Jessica Hart for their idea and guidance for this project.
See the attached Newsletter for more school information 9.10.21

Dear Lord,
As my children leave for school,
I pray that you will keep them in your care.
Send your Spirit to open their minds
to all that is true and beautiful and good.
Help them to see the gifts and talents
you have given them and to use them well.
Help them to grow in knowledge and wisdom.
Help them to be kind to others
and lead others be kind to them.
Give their teachers patience and understanding
and help them teach what is just and true.
Send your angels to guide and guard my children
and to keep them from all harm.
Open their young hearts to your presence
and enfold them in your peace and protection.
Hold them in the palm of your hand
and bring them home safely at day’s end.
Amen.

Sacred Heart Families,

What a great Back to School BBQ! Thank you to everyone for bringing a delicious side dish or dessert. We all enjoyed a wonderful meal and the kids had a lot of fun playing together. I want to send a huge thank you to all of the volunteers who helped clean up the playground. It really looks great and is ready for a new year. Words cannot truly express how joyful it was to see us all together. We have the nicest parents and students in our school community and I just feel so blessed to know you.

Dear Sacred Heart Families,
Happy Friday! I hope you are enjoying the month of August and finding time to have fun and eat some delicious local produce that is so abundant now.
We are looking forward to seeing everyone on Thursday, August 19th for our Back to School BBQ. This is just a fun event to get together and share a meal. The school will be open (not quite ready for the year) if you wish to drop off school supplies or just have a look around. Father Todd will be here to bless the playground and the kids can see their friends and play. Remember to bring a side dish or dessert to pass and we will provide the BBQ and buns, lemonade and water.
