Sacred Heart School News

Please continue to network to help us find an amazing 3rd grade teacher for our third graders. Our 3rd graders are creative, enthusiastic to learn, and kind. I have been blessed to be able to teach this group.

Thank you for your understanding and support during this time. Please be aware that I will have limited time during the day to respond to your emails or any drop-in visits. My priority right now is teaching in the 3rd grade classroom.

Santa’s Workshop is coming December 5th and 6th! For those new to Sacred Heart Catholic School, Santa’s Workshop is an opportunity for students to shop for their families for Christmas.

This shopping day is optional for your child(ren). If you would like your child to shop, please return the green envelope listing who your child may shop and a budget for spending.

A large variety of gifts will be available for purchase for $1-$8/gift. Most students shop for their parents, siblings, and grandparents, but parents can help set the shopping list and budget. PTC volunteers will be present to help shoppers manage their budget and gift selection, but your input on the envelope is extremely helpful.

We want this to be a fun activity for all students, so if you are in need of financial assistance for your student(s) to shop, please indicate this by writing SNF (St. Nicholas Fund) next to your student(s) name. If you’d like to contribute to the St. Nicholas fund, please write SNF on the line next to “donate remaining funds to PTC”.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Frances de Kooker at francesrivera19@gmail.com, or for Espanol, Lola Fritz at lorenafritz@sacredheartschoolrobbinsdale.org.

Have you signed up your daughter for girls's basketball? You have until Dec. 4th to complete the form.

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.
