Join the fun this Sunday at Be Part of the Heart Open House . . . Bring a Friend!

Check in and receive your official Academy of the Sacred Heart Passport to Learning.  Each student will receive a customized Passport. With completion of each activity, the teacher will ‘stamp’ your passport with a collectable sticker. The two recipients of the ‘out of this world’ sticker will receive a special prize from the Academy Spirit Shop.

It’s always a great day when it’s Donuts with Dads! On Wednesday, Little Acorns, Pre-Primary and Primary students welcomed their dads to their classroom for some fun, and of course donuts and chocolate milk.

How can a potato provide energy to a lightbulb? Fourth Class students in Mrs. Pearce’s science class are studying light and matter. Today, they worked with copper and zinc bars, alligator clips and potatoes to test circuits to power an LED light!

J is for JOY! There is nothing like the Little Acorn and Pre-Primary classrooms to provide the JOY. Morning Meetings begin with a “Friendship Chant” to remind our littlest learners to “see the best in you and me.”

Congratulations to Yash ’22 whose poem “Alone” will be included in the Appelley Publishing 2022 Rising Stars Collection this spring! During a unit on John Steinbeck’s novella Of Mice and Men, Yash wrote this poem based on a Dorothea Lange photo that expresses the struggle to achieve the American dream. We are proud of you, Yash!

Third Class students visited Lower School classrooms to encourage support of their Toy Drive for Santa’s Helpers! Donations of NEW toys for any age or gift cards (at least $10 value) to purchase a toy are greatly appreciated. Once donations are collected, Academy teachers will wrap the toys.

The Academy community honored veterans with a touching Prayer Service planned by the Third and Fourth Classes. Several family members who are Veterans joined for the program, which included a flag procession led by the Scouts. Students shared heartfelt reflections, poems, prayers and songs.

The Head of School Search continues with a Search Consultant visit next week from Risa Oganesoff Heersche and Mathew Heersche with Educational Directions. They will be on campus to learn more about the Academy and its community as part of the search process.

Thank you to all of our golfers, sponsors and volunteers who supported the 2021 Academy Classic Golf Tournament. It was wonderful seeing many Academy parents, alumni, parents of alumni, grandparents, board members and friends!

WELCOME to the 2021-2022 school year! This morning we began our 203rd school year and welcomed 1-8 Class students! It is wonderful having Academy students back on campus and we wish them a joyful and growth-filled year.
