Community is the heart of SHOJ. Many thanks to 4th grade parents who attended All School Mass and stayed for coffee and conversation. It is humbling to see the Books in this pic. They have had at least one Cardinal for the past 20 years. Sacred Heart=Family. We are so blessed!
Happy Catholic Schools Week! Great to see everyone at the kick-off Mass. Go Chiefs.
2023 Catholic Schools Week Activities
What is SO ENTIRELY awesome about Sacred Heart?Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Hess approached a group of 8th graders and asked, “Will you show up at 7:35 to hand out Food Drive and Cardinal Carnival information to parents at drop off?” In the freezing cold, you see their response. We didn’t catch a picture of the other side of the school where another group just as large was gathered. Thank you, God, your goodness overwhelms!!
No school January 25 due to roads and weather. Be safe.
Today many of our 8th graders went to Topeka to the annual Ignite Rally. They listened to a keynote speaker, attended Mass and Marched to a rally at the Capitol Building. It was a formational day to be a voice for the voiceless and to defend the dignity of women and motherhood.
Thankful for a parent volunteering to do this board for CSW and the team of teachers who planned the week.

Brain teaser: Two famous Brits named Harrison and two famous musicians but only three people. How is it possible?
Happy First Day, Mr. Vergara!
Flanked on both sides by his own Sacred Heart Cardinals, Mr. Vergara begins his journey as a Cardinal! Students end the day with a picture of this sweet beginning. Thanks to all the love and support from parents. It was so good to see your faces in the building today as you dropped off your second graders. The Sacred Heart community is so blessed by your joyful support of our mission.
Merry Christmas! The season of Christmas lasts until the Baptism of our Lord Jesus celebrated the Sunday after the Epiphany. There are many celebrations during this time: St. Stephen, St. John, Holy Innocents, feast of the Holy Family, Mary Mother of God, etc to help us remember that Jesus is still divine though human which God confirmed at His Baptism and sent Him on His mission to save us all.
