Last week, four additional groups of Eighth Class students shared their Shark Tank ideas to faculty/staff, peers, and “Sharks.” The projects were Bark Bot, PJP Headwear, Creamy Whip, and Beginners Guide to Fishing.
This week Mrs. Mary Reepmeyer, Principal, shares the significance of Student-Led Parent-Teacher Conferences and how it helps students reflect on their growth, leading to a deeper understanding of themselves as learners.
Students in Third through Eighth Classes have been diligently preparing for their student-led conferences next Friday, February 28. I believe the greatest benefit of these conferences is putting ownership and accountability on each student while strengthening the relationship with their teachers and parents. When students reflect on their experience in school, celebrate strengths, and identify areas for growth with adults who care about them, they take ownership of their learning and are more likely to work toward their goals and thrive.
Did you see our students at Hardee’s Friday morning? They were greeting patrons and collecting donations for Heat-Up St. Louis, a non-profit charity that focuses on helping area elderly and disabled people and low-income families with their heating bills!
Thank you to all who attended Open House: Be Part of the Heart on February 2! Prospective and current families filled the school and were able to experience our joyful community. Current parents and families shared their love for our community to new families. An alum came back to share her Academy experience as well as how she is doing in high school. Student ambassadors led tours and gave insight into what a school day looks like, also explaining what they are currently learning in the classroom. Faculty led engaging activities for all the children who came to visit their classroom. Prospective families were given a tour and were able to experience our school.
It was a fantASHtic community event together. What a great day to be part of the heart! For more images, visit our Facebook album.

Last Friday, Academy Eighth Class students presented to the Board of Trustees. They shared their responses to the prompt, “What Do Connections through One Heart Mean to Me?” Network of Sacred Heart School students in grades 7-12 were invited to write an essay for the Jeanne Burke O’Fallon Essay Contest for the upcoming Associated Alumnae/i of the Sacred Heart (AASH) 45th National Conference. The contest is named in honor of Mrs. O’Fallon ’69, who was the longtime director of the national AASH Office in St. Louis.
