Will you have a 6th, 7th, or 8th grader next school year? PTG has one more opening for a Level Representative from grades 6 to 8.

Level reps​ serve for one year and PTG meetings are held once a month in the evening. If you can help, please contact Julie Evans ​at JulieE@paar.net or Beth Sutton​ at bethsutton@ymail.com​. ​

Please turn in your 2015-16 Parent Lunch Form by June 5. Past due payments for services and programs like Parent Lunch, Family Assessment, lunch tickets, and afterschool are now past due. Please finalize these  payments to insure receipt of report cards and transfer of records. This is especially important for Grade 8 families.

Tuition cost sheets and Family Assessment Option packets should be available soon. Updates have been made to the cost sheets for bookkeeping purposes. We are asking for a quick turnaround when you receive your packet.

Summer reading and supply lists for next year are in this envelope.  They will also be available on the school website.

In the fall, look for more information about how you can place an order through the ShopWithScrip online ordering program. Ordering through ShopWithScrip allows you to personalize your scrip experience. Details to follow once the set-up process has been finalized.

As accessibility to Scrip ordering expands next year, helping families to earn more, so it becomes necessary to increase the amount required for the Family Assessment. In 2015-2016, your Family Assessment will be $400. As earning with Scrip becomes more convenient, it is important to maintain the fundraising profit for the school.

You can get a jump on your Family Assessment earnings by ordering gift cards over the summer. An order form for summer scrip orders of “Giant Eagle cards only” is in your family envelope.
Wednesday order turn-in dates are June 11, July 9, and August 13.
Thursday pick-up days are June 18, July 9, and August 13.

The Nepal earthquakes on April 25 and May 7 sadly provided ‘teachable moments’ for Sacred Heart School students and teachers.

• Nepal is one of the poorest countries in the world.
• Nearly half of Nepal's population lives below the poverty line.
• Over 10 years of conflict cost many Nepalese their lives.
• Each year Nepal experiences multiple natural disasters.
• Most parts of the country are seismically active.

Add devastating earthquakes to this already unstable country and it is not hard to imagine the sufferings of those who survived.

In the spirit of Christ’s charity and compassion, the Sacred Heart School community raised $1,470 for our Nepalese brothers and sisters and have made that contribution to Catholic Relief Services. CRS focuses on providing emergency aid to families affected by this disaster and SHES is honored to participate.

Look for a summer mailing in early August which will contain the 2015-2016 yearly calendar, lunch information for the beginning of school, and other important notes.

Interested band students can sign up for Band Camp offered at Aquinas Academy July 20 to 24. The camp is organized and run by area Catholic School band directors including Mrs. Sherry Traugh. For more information, download the flier. 

Sacred Heart School students are celebrating the end of a successful school year with field trips planned to support the curriculum, enhance learning, and enjoy the outdoors. Youngsters have been exploring the wonders of the Children’s Museum, the Laurel Caverns, and the Carnegie Science Center. The Tiny Tots Concert at Heinz Hall and A Midsummer Night’s Dream at the Pittsburgh Playhouse will expose others to cultural opportunities available in our city. The Meadowcroft Rockshelter and Historic Village, Tour-Ed Mine, Fort Pitt Museum, and a day in Niagara Falls will provide pupils with significant historic experiences. Children are excited for a day “in the fields” of science, culture and history with classmates and teachers.

The talented instrumental music students, under the direction of Mrs. Sherry Traugh, band director at Sacred Heart School, performed on the steps of Carnegie Music Hall in Oakland on Sunday, May 3. The  advanced band welcomed the public to an afternoon with Edgewood Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Walter Morales. “A Celebration of Music and Sports: The Perfect Pitch!" combined sports and music for a creative and exciting musical experience.

Shoko Kanemoto is a graduate of Sacred Heart and Oakland Catholic and currently attends Ohio State University. She is available for summer tutoring in ESL, math, and science.

Having experienced in grade school the struggles of being a Japanese speaking student, she understands the difficulty in maintaining English language skills over the summer. She can be reached by email at kanemoto.2@osu.edu.

In conjunction with Sacred Heart Parish, the school will collect Hamburger Helper to be contributed to the food bank run by the East End Cooperative Ministry.

Each month, the Student Council members encourage all of us to contribute a different featured food to share with our neighbors in need. Thank you for your support.
