Sacred Heart Catholic School News
May 13, 2024
We accomplished our first matching gift of $10,000! Our total for the gym floor is now $81,596. WOW!
We are thrilled to share that Sacred Heart Catholic School has not only reached but surpassed our $10,000 matching grant goal raising $12,097 for our gym floor project! With our matching donation, we raised $22,097 in just a few weeks time! We have now raised over $80,000! What an accomplishment! However, our work is not done! We still need your help to reach our $100,000 goal. When we reach $100,000, we will unlock another $50,000 matching gift! Thank you to all that have given so far! We are excited to see all the memories that will be made in this space for years to come!

The girls’ basketball season runs from the beginning of January into the 2nd week of March.
Softball and baseball run concurrently from the beginning of April until the end of May.
Grades 5-8 can participate so this is an excellent opportunity for someone with a child in those grades to be responsible for building their athletic confidence!

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.
