Outdoor Vegetable Garden
On Friday, our 3rd graders and volunteers planted vegetables in our outdoor garden planters. The 3rd graders learned about planting and caring for our garden. We can't wait to see all the vegetables!
Our kindergartners and buddies also planted seeds on paper strips and planted a few weeks ago. They visit our garden each week to see how tall their seeds have grown and they give them a good drink of water.
This is a great project for our students due to a grant we received.

Need help paying for tuition?
MN Fundraising Initiative (MNFI) secures contracts with over 23 venues in the greater Twin Cities area including Target Field, Target Center, Canterbury, and US Bank to operate food and beverage concessions stands at their events.
MNFI organizes teams of volunteers from all over the state of MN and WI who work together to run these stands. In turn, MNFI receives donations from these venues. The donations are then used to award grants to families in local communities to allow youth to attend private school, such as Sacred Heart Catholic School and participate in enrichment activities they may not otherwise be able to enjoy. Checks are mailed directly to Sacred Heart in your name.
Many of our school families use this organization to help pay for tuition.
