Marita Freymuth Malone, Class of ’68, has written a memoir that was recently published by Amazon.com. My Mother, My Daughter has been described as “a fascinating and insightful adoption story.”
Plan now to join us for a Wine and Cheese Book Review on Sunday, September 13 from 3–5 p.m., as Marita talks about her five-years-in-the-making book. RSVP to Alumni Director Jane Cannon.
That at the Academy of the Sacred Heart we provide CPR/AED Emergency Oxygen Class along with Blood Borne Pathogen training and Epi-Pen training to faculty and staff?
Did you know?
That we have 2 AED’s and 2 Emergency Oxygen units equipped with both adult and children pads? (One set is in the chair room in the Gym, the other set is in the Arcade hallway.)
Did you know?
That having the AEDs and Oxygen units as well as Faculty/Staff training is part of our commitment to Emergency Response/Disaster Preparedness training?
It is true. Our annual training took place on August 13, 2015 and our faculty and staff, once again, met the requirements for certification for Adult, Child, and Infant CPR and AED use. Included in the curriculum for the day’s class was Blood Borne Pathogens, recognizing and responding to a choking victim, and Epi-Pen Training.
Congratulations to the following for being attentive learners and for becoming certified:
We would like to thank Mr. Roderick S. Wilson of the St. Louis City Fire Department, Firefighter/EMT/BLS Instructor, for his expertise in teaching and making the class fun … while ensuring that we learned some very serious skills.

Faculty will be returning this week to prepare for the new school year! We happily anticipate the start of the 2015-2016 year on Wednesday, August 19, when First through Eighth Class students begin. Primary students will arrive Thursday, August 20 (half days the 20th and 21st) and Pre-Primaries (and Stay & Play) on Monday, August 24.
But before classes begin, we look forward to welcoming parents at the Pre-Primary Lemonade Party on Tuesday, August 11 (6 p.m.), the Primary Parent Orientation on Thursday, August 13 (7 p.m.), and the all-school Open House on Monday, August 17 (5-7 p.m.).
Changes made to the south side of campus this summer have created new ways of entering and exiting campus!
Welcome to the new website. We hope you enjoy the view 🙂
If you have any questions or find any oddities, please email wyates@ash1818.org.
Dear Parents,
Filled with the joy of new beginnings, I look forward to welcoming you back to the Academy for the 2015–2016 school year! I do so with great assurance that each new year is an opportunity for growth as both our children and we, the adult community, continue to progress on our life’s journey to deeper union with the God of Life and Love!
The summer has gone by quickly. In addition to our normal preparations for a new year, we have spent a great deal of extra time listening to concerns that some of you have. We have been seriously engaged in a process of data gathering during June and July. Once the data is gathered and analyzed, changes as needed will be implemented.
To that end, we will be providing you information that I think will be helpful in what we are calling our “State of the School Report.” It will be sent out some time next week.
I eagerly anticipate seeing many of you, and your children, at the Back-to-School Sale next Wednesday, and at Open House on August 17.
In the spirit of the time-honored wisdom that is the gift of Sacred Heart education, we commit ourselves anew to partnering with you in the raising of our collective children to become fully whole and holy human beings. Let us launch our year of partnership with a prayer that we are open, energized, and united in heart and mind for the journey of the year before us!
With Joy and Union in the Heart of Christ,
Maureen Glavin, rscj
We are pleased to welcome visiting students and teachers from Fuji Seishin Joshi Gakuin, a Sacred Heart school in Japan. As part of their two-week visit to the St. Louis area, the students are studying English in the morning and enjoying excursions to St. Louis area attractions. Several Academy students, alums and families are extending ASH hospitality to the Japanese students, as well, spending time and conversing with them, joining them for meals, and inviting them for home visits. We love getting to know these international Sacred Heart friends! Their stay is being coordinated by staff members of the Shrine of St. Philippine Duchesne.

The Klakovich family is featured in the August issue of Catholic St. Louis magazine. “Reinforced by Faith” describes how Vince, Desiree, Faith and Anna prioritize their faith in the midst of their busy schedules. (It was written by Colleen Dulle, a 2009 Academy graduate and student at Loyola University New Orleans; she’s interning at the St. Louis Review this summer.)
Read the article on pps. 10–11.

Yee Haw! This summer’s session of “Showtime” staged a rollicking production of “How the West Was ‘One’.” Nearly 20 participants began with a script outline, created characters, wrote dialogue, made props, staged scenes and choreographed songs. Singing and dancing to songs like O What a Beautiful Morning, Shake It Off, and Boot Scootin’ Boogie, the performers told a story of farmers and cowboys coming together to save their land. Thanks to Laurie Strickland and her crew for getting the summer off to a great start for these Showtime campers!
