From the desk of Mr. Chromy
WOW
-- it is November already. I love the cooler weather and the thoughts of Thanksgiving and Advent are just around the corner but first ... three solid weeks of hard work in the classrooms before Thanksgiving. We need to all work together to stay focused in this education power-packed three weeks. God bless us all!
Honor Roll
-- HUGE congrats to all of our straight A and A/B Honor Roll students from first quarter. Hard work and dedication does pay off. Every student has an opportunity to hit this goal here at Sacred Heart Catholic School. (See pictures below)
Hats to Hope -- This Friday we will raise money for Hats for Hope by allowing our students and staff to Dress Down this Friday, 8 November. This is the ONLY day during the academic year that students can wear a hat during the school day inside the school. Please give generously to this non-profit that does great things here in our local community.
Spirit Weekend
-- This weekend wear your Mass Uniform to any mass and earn a free Dress Down Pass to wear on Friday, 15 November. The school choir will sing at the 9 am mass and they do such a beautiful job.
NET Retreat
-- the middle school students had a great experience with our NET team. The 6th - 8th graders had a retreat on Wednesday and our 8th graders had a Confirmation Retreat on Friday. Our students love these young people proclaiming the gospel through songs, skits, dance and small group discussions. (Pictures below)
Halloween/Rainbow Hair
-- Halloween was a fun day to wear my rainbow hair. As most of you recall, I said I would wear rainbow hair if our Book Fair met the goal -- and they did thanks to all of you. Our library will get many more new books because of all of your generous support. The students did a great job in the Character Parade. This parade is a family favorite year after year.
Farewell to Mrs. Gina Guy
-- Mrs. Guy served her last day here at Sacred Heart Catholic School this past Thursday. I am so appreciative of all of her dedication and hard work during my first 3+ years. We all wish her and her family all the best that this life has to offer. God bless you Mrs. Guy. Thank you!!
In His service,
Al Chromy
Principal

Child sexual abuse is a worldwide public health issue. Child abuse, particularly child sexual abuse, is reprehensible—especially when the wrongdoer is affiliated with the Church/School. The VIRTUS programs assist the Church/School in being a safe haven for children and a messenger for preventing child sexual abuse within the Church/School and society in general. We seek to achieve this lofty goal through our child sexual abuse prevention program:
Protecting God's Children
.
Anyone who will have contact with our students here at SHCS MUST be VIRTUS trained. That includes volunteering at any capacity within our school from classroom parties to lunch support to field trips. We take this very seriously, as we should, and will NOT allow anyone not VIRTUS trained to participate on any level. There are classes held monthly on various days and times in hopes that everyone can attend. Please visit
virtusonline.org
to create your account and sign up for a upcoming class today! Classes held at SHCS can be found on our
school calendar
and on the main VIRTUS website.
Please contact
Wendy Jackson
if you have any questions or concerns.
*Due to graphic content, children are not allowed to attend*

Keep clipping those Box Tops.. for now!
Box Tops are transitioning to digital. Download Box Tops for Education App to get started. To redeem digital box tops scan your receipt within 14 days of purchase. This means real time updates and processing, saves times (no more clipping), saves money on shipment, and allows special bonus offers. For additional information parents can access BTFE.com or can email
rosebargender@yahoo.com.
Thanks for your support as every box top is 10 cents for the school!
- Package clippings/traditional box tops can still be turned in until program fully transitions to digital.
- Next box top collection will be mid February.

Operation RoundUp. Participating members allow Flint Energies to round up their electric bill to the next whole dollar. Your contribution would then be pooled with those from other participants and distributed to worthy causes. A few cents doesn't sound like much, but if every Flint Energies member participated they could round up more than $500,000 per year. All contributions are tax deductible as well! Please
