Important Message on current COVID protocols

Dear Parents,

Although there has been a slight decrease in respiratory illnesses overall, we are still seeing some cases of flu and COVID in school.

We would like to remind you that, as per the current government guidelines, students are permitted to be in school even if they test positive to COVID as long as they are fever free for 24 hours and have no major outward symptoms. They must wear a mask at all times for 5 days subsequent to the positive test result. Students around them are also able to wear masks if they feel more comfortable.

We continue to use our HEPA filter air purifiers in each classroom, open windows when weather permits, and encourage our students to wash their hands frequently.

We thank you for your collaboration. We have the students and faculty's best interest at heart and we strive to make this the best learning environment possible, one that promotes understanding, tolerance and kindness.

Daily Bulletin Reminder

Dear Parents,

A gentle reminder to please remind your daughters to check Daily Bulletin on their chromebooks every night for the following day's schedule. They will find all necessary information on proper uniform, schedule for the day and special activities.

Anatomy Lab

Turtles & Sheep

This week the anatomy club dissected turtles! This was by far the most interesting dissection to date. All of the organs were very clearly visible and there were a lot of similarities to our own.

Sec III students got to be brain surgeons while dissecting sheep brains in science class in order to learn the parts of the brain and what they do. Students were able to see the white and grey matter, the pituitary gland, optic chiasma, cerebrum, cerebellum, brain stem and much, much more!

SacredHeartDNA

Click below for a memo and invitation from Reyna Gonzalez, RSCJ, Director of Vocations and Young Adult Outreach for the Society of the Sacred Heart, United States - Canada Province.

The invitation is for an official launch party for her most recent project and initiative, SacredHeartDNA, on February 24, 2023. The event will be held both in-person and virtually.

We encourage all Sacred Heart educators to attend this event in either capacity and also ask that you urge your students, particularly high school students, to join us for this important event.

Reyna’s work and vision are rooted in creating opportunities for young people and Religious of the Sacred Heart to connect and grow as a community together - which we believe is vital to our work in education.

If you have any questions, please feel free to email - ACodina@shusc.org.

Invitation

Lunchtime Badminton Tournament Results

The 6th annual Lunchtime Doubles Badminton Tournament hosted by the GAAs was held throughout this week at Sacred Heart! We had 28 teams sign up to participate with partners being a mix of student-teacher and student-student (with the additional rule that both students could not be from the same grade level). Of the 28 teams we saw 7 sister-sister teams, 1 father-daughter team, and 10 faculty members (including Mr. O'Donnell) pair up with students to compete throughout the week. Congratulations to our 2nd place team Siena V (Sec II) & Ms. Newton and to this year's tournament champions Emily S (Sec V) & Mr. McRae. We hope everyone had a smashing good time playing along with us!
