Sacred Heart Catholic School News

May is finally here. Let's pray that water weather is on the way.

Remember: Gertens spring plants will be delivered on May 10th and pick-up is from 1-5 pm in the parking lot behind the school.

Mary Lundberg has decided to retire after 21 years of teaching preschool at Sacred Heart Catholic School. Mary has been with us in preschool since Day 1 and helped us design an excellent program for our young students. Over the years, she has seen many changes to DHS licensing and curriculum.

Mary is going to spend her time at her cabin, traveling, and relaxing with her grandchildren. Thank you for your many years of teaching at SHCS. We will miss you!

Do you know a person looking to work at a great place? Our preschool position is full time with benefits. We have a great community with awesome students. If you know someone that might be interested, please pass on the information.

Families may begin turning in the list of volunteer hours they have participated in this year. You may use the form attached at the bottom of the newsletter or type of a list and send it our way.

Students in grades 6-8 may also start turning in their service hours. Forms are located in their homeroom. Parents must sign this form acknowledging the service hours.

We are using 1st Day School Supplies again. For convenience, parents have the option of ordering your child's school supplies online and the kit will be waiting for you at Back to School Day in fall.
