We have been celebrating Catholic Schools Week with the Academy community. We honor our heritage as the first Sacred Heart school in this country, founded by St. Philippine Duchesne in 1818 and continue to live our mission, shared by the 25 Network of Sacred Heart schools in the U.S. and Canada and guided by the Goals and Criteria.
Goal 1 of Sacred Heart Education: a personal and active faith in God
The week began celebrating students, followed by celebrating vocations on Tuesday and recognizing the Religious of the Sacred Heart. Wednesday we celebrated the nation and today we celebrate faculty and staff, which included a Taco Bar lunch provided by the Hospitality Committee.
From home-baked heart cookies (thanks Mrs. Mitsler!), to chocolate kisses, heart pops and prayer cards, each day brought a surprise. Afternoons concluded with a special prayer during espacio, along with a prize drawing for faculty and staff.
In addition, students have been working on writing thank you notes to their parents for their Sacred Heart education and the opportunity to attend the Academy.
It’s been a fun week and we look forward to celebrating our community on Friday with Spirit Day and a Traveling Tom’s Coffee Truck for faculty and staff! For images, prayers and more, be sure to visit our Facebook or Instagram accounts.
