International Connections will have our first coffee gathering from 8:30 to 10 a.m. on Wednesday, October 8 at the Elizabeth room in the school (on the second floor above the preschool). All are welcome, including children.

Sacred Heart has a rich tradition of serving families from around the globe and the International Connections Committee serves to make these parents feel welcomed and to enable them to develop friendships. It is also a great opportunity for local families to increase their cultural understanding of other countries. Please feel free to drop by and we look forward to seeing you there.

The first Parent-Teacher Conferences are being scheduled for October 30 and 31. Use the sign-up form enclosed in this month’s family envelope to indicate your availability.  

This is a mandatory conference at which you can meet the homeroom teacher and receive your child’s first report card.

Look for information and order forms to come home soon about School Picture Day which is scheduled for Wednesday, October 22nd.

The Family Directory is being prepared for a planned late October distribution. We need your Family Data forms at the office in order to update your information to make this directory as accurate as possible. 

Please turn in any outstanding forms if they apply to you:

• Family Data

• Parent Lunch Form

We rolled out our new Logo Wear at Open House—a very affordable selection of t-shirts, sweatshirts, and sweatpants.

Please remember that Wednesday is the new Scrip turn-in day. Orders will be available the following Thursday (a week and a day later). 

Order forms are always available on the school website and at the top of this newsletter.

Momnipotent is an opportunity for all moms to take a breath from the busyness of being a mom and to join together to rediscover and reconnect with your unique, beautiful, and powerful feminine gifts and to understand what it means to be called to motherhood—biologically and spiritually.

Momnipotent is being offered at Sacred Heart one Saturday a month for 8 months beginning Oct. 11 in the Bishop Winter Conference Center from 9 to 11 am; cost for materials is $15 for parishioners and $30 for non-parishioners.  Please preregister by Friday, October. 3 by contacting Sharon Smoller at 412-661-0187 ext. 108 or emailing sacredheartparishreled@gmail.com. 
 

The girls’ varsity (Team Black) volleyball team has been working hard this season and that hard work is paying off.  At the time of publication, the girls’ varsity black team had compiled a 4-2 diocesan section record. With continued practice and hard work, this Crusaders team could be playoff bound! The girls on the varsity team are an experienced and athletic bunch. They play hard, never give up, and have a team first attitude.

Support your Sacred Heart volleyball players by coming to one of the October home matches. The Varsity and JV teams play East Catholic (White) at home on Wednesday, October 8 and then play St. Bernadette (Blue) the following Wednesday, October 15. The JV matches begin at 6:30pm followed by the varsity match at 7:45pm.  

Go Crusaders!

In conjunction with Sacred Heart Parish, the school will collect stuffing mix 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.
