On Monday at 3 p.m., students will be able to meet the darling Cavachon puppy being featured at this year’s Chemin de Fer auction. Puppy lovers of all ages are invited to come to the Rose Garden for a chance to pet this adorable, soon-to-be, 16-week-old mix of a Cavalier King Charles and Bichon. Who doesn’t love a puppy?
Parents, if you can lend a helping hand with baskets or decoration setup in these final days leading up to the auction on May 2, please check the schedule on the Parent Portal. We are looking forward to celebrating The Splendor of India! As always, thank you for your support of Sacred Heart education.
Dear Academy Families,
Since my communication regarding Field Day, I have had a number of you share your perspective and provide some input regarding our plans. I thank those who have e-mailed, phoned or personally chatted with Mrs. Renken or me. The conversations have been helpful and have allowed us to nuance our plans to honor all aspects of the Field Day experience. As we continue to plan for the day’s activities and events, we have especially appreciated the feedback of our oldest students. The freedom the day allows for them, as well as their participation in self-selected events, were two elements that they value and are hesitant to forgo. Given the input received, our Field Day schedule on Friday, May 8, will be:
8:30 a.m.
Field Day Liturgy in Rauch Memorial
9:30 a.m.
Parade (led by color guard)
10:00–11:30 a.m.

End-of-Day Announcements
My sincerest desire is that the essence of Field Day—celebrating our physical gifts and talents in community—continues to be honored. I anticipate the day with joy and look forward to spending it with our Sacred Heart family.
United in His Heart,

In preparation for The Splendor of India (our upcoming Chemin de Fer auction), recently several mothers in the ASH community graciously volunteered their time—and their closets—to show others how to wear an Indian sari or salwar. What a fun night of fashion! Thanks to all who participated. We are looking forward to a beautiful evening May 2!
Our Drug Abuse Resistance Education program for Fifth Class students concluded this morning with a graduation ceremony in the White Center. D.A.R.E. Officer Hayes of the St. Charles City Police Department, along with Captain Therman, Mayor Sally Faith, and Fifth Class parents, were on hand as the students were recognized for their efforts over the past several weeks. Congratulations to the Class of 2018 on this notable day!
Because of the weather and the condition of the fields, track practice on Thursday, April 9 has been canceled.
More than 50 students, teachers and parents gathered recently before school to make sandwiches for the poor and homeless of St. Vincent de Paul Parish. More than 430 sandwiches were made in less than 40 minutes.

Track practice on Wednesday, April 8, has been canceled due to the weather.
Congratulations to Class of 2011 graduates Taylor Heuermann (Barat Academy) and Madeline Wappelhorst (Duchesne High School), who have been named recipients of the Archbishop John L. May Service Award in recognition of outstanding Christian service. One senior in each of the Catholic high schools in the Archdiocese of St. Louis receives this award for extraordinary volunteer achievement in their schools and communities. On April 15, a reception will be held at Busch Student Center on the campus of Saint Louis University.
Dear Academy Families,
“He disappeared from before our eyes, that we might find him in our hearts,” said St. Augustine of our Risen Lord.
May we each meet the Risen Christ in our hearts during these coming holy days. And, having met Him, let us proclaim with JOY and STRENGTH that He is Risen, through the lives we lead and the choices we make.
In union with that same Risen One whom we meet in each other,
Maureen Glavin, rscj
Sixth Class students have been learning about mythology, Greek theater, Aristotle and other highlights of ancient Greece. Today, they invited their parents in to their classrooms to view their projects, play educational games they constructed, sample Greek food, and more.
