Thank you so much to all of you who attended the General PCC Meeting last Thursday. I know that as parents of young children who are also juggling work and family, you are making choices, and making true sacrifices to attend these meetings. Your presence is essential to our partnership and collaboration.
One VERY IMPORANT piece of information which was disseminated at the meeting had to do with our mission accreditation process. We asked every Academy parent to attend a special THIRD General PCC meeting on THURSDAY, MARCH 27. We will be using the evening to gather information regarding our living of the Goals and Criteria of Sacred Heart education. More information will follow! Please mark your calendar now. Additionally, third quarter report cards will be distributed.
We also used last Thursday’s PCC meeting to talk about the Capital Campaign. Mr. Eric Schaefer provided us with some great follow-up stats. Having just begun the Campaign publically three months ago, we are currently just under 60% of our goal. This is a HUGE SUCCESS. Mr. Schaefer invited everyone to think about what it would take to push us to 100% of goal!
Much interest was garnered when some of the current drawings for the facility/site planning were shown. For the sake of campus security, student safety and clarity regarding way-finding, the plans are to reorient the ‘front’ of the school BACK to our historic front (the Second Street side) and, in the process we will begin to create a safe play and walking space in the interior/center of our campus. As we hit certain targets regarding the cash received for the campaign we will be enthusiastically sharing more information regarding the plan.
Thank you again, from the bottom of my heart, for your support in every way! As I always say, I am convinced that the world will be a better place as we send children of the Sacred Heart forth into the world to reveal God’s Goodness, Grace and Love!
