Welcome to our new students and families
Dear Families,
I want to extend a warm welcome to all the new families joining us at Sacred Heart Catholic School this fall. We are excited to have you as part of our community and look forward to a wonderful journey together.
As of today, we welcome 37 new PreK-8th grade students which is 28 new families. I am happy to say that we have at least one new student in each grade this fall.
Thank you for choosing Sacred Heart. We are here to support you and your children every step of the way.
We have a designated room parent for each grade who will help you navigate throughout the year. Watch for an email within the week.
Best regards,
Karen Bursey

Meet our new 3 PreK Teacher--Ms. Heather Groenke
I have been teaching preschool for 15 years, the last five years at Holy Cross Catholic School. My love for working with young children started at a young age with baby sitting and teaching Sunday school when I was in high school. I also have a love of traveling. Because of that, I moved to Florida and earned my Early Childhood Education degree from Southwest Florida College. I've been back in Minnesota for about 12 years. I love to spend my time listening to music, watching movies, or being outside with friends and family.
3 and 4 year old PreK Meet & Greet the teachers-August 13

Ordering breakfast and lunch for September-ORDER NOW
We use a catering company, Trio Community Meals, to provide our breakfast and lunch meals for students. For the ease of ordering, we use a website called Boonli so that parents may pre-order breakfast and lunch meals for their children. We recommend you order meals for the entire month. Trio will only deliver the amount of meals that are pre-ordered each day.
Please log into Boonli-

If you are a new family to Sacred Heart, please click on Create an Account. If you are a returning family, please use your log in information from last year. Please order no later than August 22 to make sure your child has a lunch on the first day of school.
Breakfast and lunch is free if your child is in K-8th grade.
PreK does not qualify for free breakfast and lunch. Our preschoolers may order lunch through Trio. They are not eligible for breakfast.
Milk comes with each meal. If you would like to order an additional milk or need a milk due to your child bringing a cold lunch, you may do so. Parents may also order an extra entrée or extra pizza slice for an additional fee.
The monthly menus will go “live” the 15th of the previous month so that you can order. We will remind families to order each month through the weekly school newsletter.
If your family qualifies for free/reduced lunch, please complete an application for us. We do receive some state funding that relies on the number of applications we receive.
