Principal Note

2022 Comes to a Close

This Sunday we will light the final candle of our Advent journey. The fourth candle marks the final week of prayer as we wait for the birth of Jesus Christ. The candle represents peace, as Jesus brings peace to all. It is in particular a good reminder as we are in the "Christmas rush" of presents and parties- to pause and give thanks for our many gifts that surround us daily. Our O Antiphons program is a reminder of the reason for the season. Please make sure you attend our program on Monday, December 19 at 1:30PM.

I am incredibly thankful for the gift of Sacred Heart. I am thankful to work at a place I love with a community that is exceptional. I am grateful for the gifts our school gives my children each day they attend.

The 1882 Fund has afforded so much opportunity at our school. The fund provides assistance for students to attend our school, support for our teachers, and enhancements to our strong foundation. As this year comes to a close, consider giving the gift of incredible opportunity through The 1882 fund. See information below on how to support.

Thank you to our students, volunteers, parents, and community for your continued generosity and your unwavering support. I wish you all a joy filled Christmas and Happy New Year.

Merry Christmas-

Erin Brinkley

Principal
