Catholic Schools Week

For Catholic Schools Week, Sacred Heart Catholic School celebrated Catholic education with a wide variety of activities! Students started the week by reading essays about Catholic Schools Week on KVPI Radio and by praying on Radio Maria. Students worked in all subject areas to demonstrate the importance on Catholic Schools, and they also incorporated activities to celebrate the centennial of our Diocese. The different activities included: • working on project explaining why they love their Catholic School • working on the Catholic Schools Week logo • building 3D models of churches • building models of their church parish • researching different aspects of (a) the history of the diocese, (b) the bishops of the diocese, (c) the history of their home church parishes, and (c) the history of Sacred Heart School. Throughout the week many students and faculty members sported their Catholic T-shirts! On Candlemas (Friday), Sacred Heart celebrated a whole-school Mass followed by the blessing of the throats. Before dismissal on Friday, while the student body was praying the end of the day prayer, the Religion 1 class released a Balloon Rosary. But the Highlight of the week was the Penny War fundraiser, which helped raise money toward building a third house for our brothers and sisters in Haiti. This year, Sacred Heart raised $2,552.11! Although Catholic Schools Week is over, the activities to celebrate the centennial of our diocese will continue throughout the year. Thank you faculty, students, and parents for making this year’s Catholic Schools Week another success.
