"The primary goal in the education of children is to teach, and to give the example of a virtuous life."- Saint John Chrysostom
Fourth grade visited JA Biztown. Biztown provides students with real world learning to inspire entrepreneurial thoughts. The collision of virtuous souls inspired to build their own businesses sounds like an amazing formula for the future.
Quo Vadis....Where are you going?
Wherever it is, Lord, count us in! Awesome night. Inspiring witnesses. Thanks be to God.
Hey there SHOJ Class of 2020! We see you all dressed up for Prom and taking the "Cardinal Pic."
We remember when you dressed up (left pic) as Socs and Greasers after reading "The Outsiders." Some of you Greasers look like you've gone Soc. Beautiful souls! Love you all so much!
Cardinals forever❤️!!

"Remember, that bodily exercise, when it is well ordered, as I have said, is also prayer by means of which you can please God our Lord." St. Ignatius of Loyola
Based on this quote, St. Ignatius would be proud of Nurse Mary's Exercise Club.
See them running in the labyrinth to begin the day. Thanks, Nurse Mary!
The Serra Club hosts an annual essay contest that focuses on a different aspect of religious life. This year's contest question was, "Why is it important for me to think about my vocation in life?"
SHOJ sixth grader Margot G. won the top prize in this year's contest and was a guest at the luncheon celebrating winning submissions. Congratulations, Margot!
Imagination Takes Flight
Third graders visited the Amelia Earhart museum today. They engaged in STEM activities that walked them through her life and times leading up to her flight across the Atlantic Ocean.
“Adventure is worthwhile in itself.” - Amelia Earhart
Save the day for the Kindest Kansas Citian Reception! All students who participated in the contest by turning in an essay back in January and February about an adult in their life that has shown great kindness to them are invited to a reception on Thursday, April 18th after school from 3:30-4 pm here at SHOJ. Specific location will be determined and shared with you soon. I will be sending invitations to all nominees beginning this week and an email with more details to you soon.
In a teacher's heart, there is NO WAY these beautiful souls are about to be seniors in high school.
The SH Class of 2021 celebrated National Honor Society inductions at Saint James Academy. Some of our beloved Cardinals are pictured here. Congrats to all!
EMBRACE visited Sacred Heart to present a $19,000 grant. Thank you to Ms. Hart for taking the time to compile the case for Sacred Heart. Thank you to EMBRACE for supporting Sacred Heart's desire to embrace all learners.

Hope. Forgiveness. Faith in God.
Darry Burton, author of "Innocent: A Second Look" shared his witness with the class of 2024. Wrongfully accused and incarcerated for 24 years, Mr. Burton shares his incredible true story of hope, forgiveness and his relationship with Jesus Christ. As the capstone experience of reading "To Kill A Mockingbird" we pray that these young souls carry Mr. Burton's witness with them for the rest of their life.

The Daily Mass Crowd
Sacred Heart students and faculty had a chance to offer hospitality to the Daily Mass crowd. Coffee and cinnamon rolls were served to this special group in thanksgiving for their faithful witness and inspiration to our students
School parent and fantasy author Dakota Krout visited our Kindergarten-5th grade classrooms to discuss his career. What a joy as the students listened to his very animated reading of one of his novels where one of the characters is Catholic. God bless you for feeding the imagination in our students' hearts and minds!

SHOJ ❤️s Saint Agnes
We are grateful to the Porter family for donating their “Travelin’ Tom’s Coffee Truck” (complete with our favorite barista, Rob Porter) so that we could share some love with the parish and school staff at Saint Agnes.
As Saint Agnes loves on their families during this challenging time, Sacred Heart shared some sweet treats and caffeine with our brothers and sisters in Christ.
And SHOJ got a special treat as well… zoom in and see the smiling face of our beloved Father Pat. Such peace in knowing he is able to shepherd them through this challenging time.
Christ. Be with us. Heal us.
The Way of the Cross
The Stations of the Cross, presented to the Sacred Heart community by our 8th graders, paired Bible verses with each of the Stations.
We are grateful to have our 8th graders minister to our youngest students by their witness of the final hours of the life of Jesus prior to his Crucifixion.
