Thanks to all of our benefactors for supporting the mission of Sacred Heart education at the Academy of the Sacred Heart!

Based on information from the Greater Saint Louis Community Foundation, there were 67 donations made to the Academy on Give STL Day, totaling $11,450. We are very grateful for the generosity of our Academy community.

On Friday, May 1, from 3–7 p.m., you are invited to preview the 2015 Chemin de Fer auction. Come see Rauch Memorial’s transformation into The Splendor of India! Get a “sneak peek” at the many unique auction items—and scope out your favorites. In addition, henna artists will be available to adults in the White Center (cafeteria) from 4–6 p.m. Prepare to accessorize your auction attire with a complimentary henna design.

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?

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!
