The unexpected snow day made for a shorter first week back after our March Break, but the sun today does give a feeling of hope that spring is coming.
Today we welcomed fourteen visiting students in Grades 7 – 9. If you know of students who are interested in Sacred Heart for next year, please encourage them to come and spend a day. Arrangements can be made through Ms. Robyn Erickson, our Admissions Director.
