Appreciation

May 5, 2016

Dear Parents,

I am humbled by—and so very appreciative of—all of you who are spending much time and energy for the success of Saturday’s Journey to Japan! Chemin de Fer is our largest fundraising event of the year, and our operating budget depends on its success. THANK YOU for supporting the Academy in this big endeavor!

Not to be overlooked, the community aspect of Chemin is one of its charms, year in and year out. Friendships are made and renewed while working together for your children’s Sacred Heart education. I look forward to seeing many of you on Saturday!

Book Night

May 5, 2016

A recent Book Night for First and Second Class students and their parents was a big hit! All participants had read the Newberry Award winner The One and Only Ivan by Katherine Applegate. The evening was filled with excitement as a “gorilla” met the children as they arrived and posed for a photo. The event began with a video clip of the real gorilla that inspired the story, followed by small group discussions with Second and Third Class teachers leading the questions. Mrs. McGrane then read an excerpt from the book that led into the children and the parents putting together a giant floor puzzle. The guests enjoyed banana splits in honor of Ivan. Lastly, the children painted a water color to take home because Ivan loved to paint!

Donations from the evening are going to sponsor a gorilla at the St. Louis Zoo. Thanks to Mrs. Metcalf, Mrs. Brakensiek, Mrs. Glenn, Mrs. Grojean, Mr. Laracuente, Mrs. McGrane, Ms. Tyree, and all participants for a fun evening filled with laughter and friendship!
