Taste of Christmas Boutique

November 10, 2014

Shopping and cookies are an irresistible combination! Thanks to our Mothers’ Club officers and to the many Academy moms who baked and volunteered, the fourth annual Taste of Christmas Boutique event at ASH was a wonderful success. With appreciation and gratitude to event sponsor Mercy Kids, we are delighted that the Sister Anna Mae Marheineke Student Enrichment Fund will grow with proceeds from this charming day. Special thanks to Mothers’ Club officers Melanie McClure, Megan Lee, Aimee Centorbi and Erin Grieshaber, for coordinating the many details of this boutique event.

Partnership in this Exciting Adventure

November 6, 2014

Dear Parents,

As we wind down this first trimester of the school year, I look forward to seeing you next Tuesday evening, November 11, in Rauch Memorial Gym for our first Parent Coordinating Council meeting of the year. Since the evening’s presentation and the distribution of student report cards are both essential aspects of your partnership in the exciting adventure that we call Sacred Heart education, we expect that at least one parent in each family will be present.

The General PCC Meeting agenda will include:

  • The Living of our Mission – Our own reflection on Sacred Heart education
  • From the Principal –  What you need to know about growth, development and report cards
  • An update on responsible stewardship of finances
  • Annual Giving Information
  • Moving Forward into our Future!
  • Distribution of Report Cards

We believe that you want and need to have the information we’ll share. From our end, we will certainly be respectful and mindful of your time in our preparation and presentations.

See you Tuesday evening,

Maureen Glavin, rscj
