The Sacred Heart 7th graders moved Fr Jim onto his new patio today. He then joined them on the swings for recess!

Congratulations, Sacred Heart School Class of 2026! 🎓 Last night, our 8th Grade graduates officially hit the "end" button on their Sacred Heart School journey as we celebrated their Graduation Mass and Reception. While it is difficult to say goodbye, our hearts are filled with gratitude for the memories, laughter, friendships, faith and accomplishments we have shared with these remarkable young men and women.
As we share photos from this special evening, we are also featuring their "Top 10 Reasons We LOVE Sacred Heart School"—a reflection of the experiences and relationships that have made their time here so meaningful.
As Dr. Seuss wisely said: “Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened."
And no, Evie, Mrs. Schaefer is not planning to add a high school onto Sacred Heart School for next year. 😄
To our graduates: thank you for allowing us to be part of your story. It has been a blessing to watch you grow in faith, knowledge, leadership and character. While your chapter at Sacred Heart has come to a close, your next adventure is just beginning. We know each of you will head to Southland and do incredibly wonderful things. May God continue to guide your steps, strengthen your faith, and bless you abundantly in all that lies ahead.
Once a Sacred Heart student, always a member of the Sacred Heart family. ❤️💙

A special lunch on a very special day. On their final day as Sacred Heart students, our 8th graders treated Mr. Wright and Father Jim to lunch as a heartfelt thank-you for the many ways they have influenced their lives throughout the years.
As they prepare to move on to the next chapter, one thing is certain—our students are going to miss seeing these two every day. The smiles, laughter, guidance, encouragement and faith-filled leadership shared by Mr. Wright and Father Jim have made a lasting impact on this class and hold a special place in their hearts.
A sincere thank you to Bubbles and her team for providing the delicious take-out and helping make this memorable lunch possible!

Christian Student of the Month–Leadership! Throughout the month of May, our students focused on the virtue of Leadership.
In our classrooms, we defined leadership as: "Following Jesus by using your gifts to help others, make good choices, and do what is right."
We are proud to recognize the students who were nominated by their teachers for exemplifying this virtue and serving as positive role models for their classmates.
👏 Kindergarten–Grade 2: Eli Schmitz
👏 Grades 3–5: Lara Helle
👏 Grades 6–8: Amber Lonergan
Congratulations to these outstanding students for demonstrating Christ-centered leadership through their actions, decisions and willingness to serve others. We are grateful for the example they set within our Sacred Heart School community.
Way to go, Eli, Lara and Amber! Keep letting your light shine for others to see.
