"A very big thank you to each and every volunteer at the JV Volleyball tournament we hosted over the weekend. There was a lot of very good volleyball played and the tournament was a very big success. I received many messages from coaches/fans/parents that said what a wonderful and well run tournament. This would not be possible without the efforts of every single volunteer. Giving up a weekend to help out at school is not always something people want to do, yet our Sacred Heart community came out in numbers to assist wherever needed. I am so thankful to have these parents willing and able to assist when needed. From the bottom of my heart THANK YOU EVERYONE!

Our students will be involved in lessons focusing on elections to help teach about voting, democracy, civic responsibility, and the importance of participating in the political process.

Each grade will go down to the lunchroom to cast their vote for President. We will have voting booths and ballot boxes. Then students will receive an "I Voted" sticker. Thank you to our 8th graders and Mr. Melius for planning on our election day.

Our total raised from the students $37,650 plus Fr. Pedersen's pledges $6523.25 = $44,173.25!

We are very close to meeting our goal. Money is still trickling into the office. Thank you for your support this year.

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.
