"Small School with a Big Heart"
Sacred Heart School once again has concrete proof that it truly is a "Small School with a Big Heart". Thanks to all the children and your participation at home, we were able to raise $2055.73 for the Terry Fox Foundation. The 6/7 class was the winner of this year's class challenge. Congratulations to them! On Friday October 28th, the class will be presented with the plague and there will also be a special video presentation at this time. Ms. Ruddy will be hosting a party for the winning class soon.
Terry Fox is one of our heroes and role models here in the Grade 6/7 class as well as a deep source of national pride. We wold like to thank you all, from the bottom of our hearts, for all your support and enthusiasm this year. Looking forward to next year's challenge.
"Working together to Outrun Cancer"
God Bless,
Ms. Ruddy and the 6/7 class
Aladdin - Thursday May 26th, 2011
Sacred Heart School presented the play Aladdin on Thursday May 26th, 2011. This adaptation of Aladdin presented the classic story of one young man's quest to win the hand of his beautiful princess. Through his daring and clever deeds Aladdin defeats evil and brings goodness and peace to his kingdom.
This whole school production was a great success! The cast was a very committed group of students who have been preparing since January 2011 with Ms. Nuala Power. The acting and singing were superb and a great credit to the experience of their director.
Cookbook
Cookbooks are now available at the school office at the price on $15 each!
The Sacred Heart School Parent Support Group has organized the creation of a school community cookbook. The cookbook is ready for sale right now. Recipes have been collected from Sacred Heart School students and Sacred Heart Cathedral parishioners. We have collected about 600 recipes which will make for an excellent cookbook you won't want to miss! This would make a wonderful gift for someone special.
Sacred Heart Supporting Charities
Sacred Heart School students actively participate in supporting charities. Sacred Heart School has supported the Terry Fox Foundation, Holy Childhood Associstion and the Northern Uganda Development Fund (NUDF).
In June 2008, Sacred Heart School donated $525.00 to the NUDF. The NUDF is based in Prince George, BC and Kamdini Parish in Uganda. The purpose of NUDF is to improve the standard of living of the people by promoting locally sustainable clean and safe drinking water, faming practices as well as other areas of daily living. There was an NUDF trip to Uganda in July 2008. Sacred Heart School's donation of $525.00 was used to repair a school well. There are presently 1600 students at the school and the well had been broken for quite a few years. The school and community were very grateful to have their well repaired. Below are some photos of the well and school children.
NUDF website is www.nudf.org

Sacred Heart students and staff have been making a very conscious effort to reduce our environmental footprint and to increase awareness of the importance of the three r's of recycling, reducing and reusing.

Eco Banners
The Eco Banners were funded by Art Starts Foundation Vancouver under the direction of local artist and parent Dahne Harding. The banners were designed and created by our very own Sacred Heart School students. They are a reminder of our responsibility to the environment. These banners will be proudly displayed throughout the primary building.
