One of the great strengths of the Academy of the Sacred Heart is the support of our parents. We experience that support academically, spiritually, relationally and financially. I see that support in very concrete ways as I walk around the school at this particular time of year. Consequently, my heart is overflowing with gratitude. So much so that words do not begin to capture the depth of my appreciation.
Part of the reason I am so grateful is that I am convinced that our world needs this kind of education. I am also convinced that this kind of education will become more and more valuable as our world becomes less gentle, less gracious, less reverent and less aware of the sacred nature within us, between us and around us.
So, thank you. From the bottom of my heart: THANK YOU!
Thank you for:
- spending time decorating
- typing the auction bid sheets or auction item descriptions
- creating baskets or setting out baskets
- counting raffle tickets
- setting up the tables or risers
- putting together auction items
- donating items
- sponsoring the auction
- sending in ads for the Auction Book
- cleaning up the day after
- attending the auction
- bidding high!
Thank you for doing this as you are also making sure homework is getting done, volunteering for field trip duty and assisting in a multitude of other ways (such as supporting all of our Goal III efforts).
As I said last year, as is worth saying again, it is not ONLY the income from the auction which supports this education (which it does and which is needed to fund our unique program features, since tuition alone does not cover our costs) BUT, it is the attitude of generous service which supports this education!
By BEING role models with good hearts, giving hearts, open hearts and generous hearts, you are supporting this education of the HEART!
Looking forward to seeing many of you on Saturday night!
United in the Heart of God,
—Maureen Glavin, rscj
