Sacred Heart Catholic Church Twenty-second Sunday in Ordinary Time ~ September 1, 2019

From Sacred Heart School Office: The school year is off to a great start. We have exceeded

our enrollment goal with 105 students enrolled, which is

up 9% from last year and is a 16% increase from the last

two years. Sacred Heart met all the requirements of last

year's Diocesan and State assessments! Excellent work

students and teachers! The Kindergarten science

curriculum has been updated and we are establishing a

rotation to keep resources current. The schools next

curriculum update will be a new math series in 2020-

2021. This summer our school building received some

updates. The old heating system and air conditioning

systems have been replaced with more efficient

units. New LED lights have been installed and electrical

upgrades have taken place. School has a newly remodeled school office and

learning space where the library used to be. The new library and art room has

been moved across the hall where the old computer lab was located. The

remodeled library has newly painted walls and shelves and a new sink and tables.

Sacred Heart now has a digital sign in the school’s foyer where we can display

events and information about our wonderful school. I truly feel great things are

happening here at Sacred Heart Catholic school, which I can attribute to the

dedication of teachers, staff, parents, parishioners, and students. I would also like

to give my sincere gratitude to the parishioners of Sacred Heart. Thank you for

your generosity in being stewards of God's gifts.

Mensaje de la Oficina de la Escuela de El Sagrado Corazón:

El año escolar ha tenido un gran inicio. Hemos excedido nuestras metas de inscripciones con 105 estudiantes inscritos lo que

representa un 9% más que el año pasado y es un 16% mayor que los dos últimos años. ¡El Sagrado Corazón alcanza todos los

requerimientos de asignaturas Diocesanas y del Estado del año pasado! ¡Trabajo Excelente de estudiantes y maestros! El

currículo de ciencias de Kindergarden ha sido actualizado y estamos estableciendo una rotación para mantener los recursos

actualizados. La próxima actualización del curriculum para las escuelas será una nueva serie en matemáticas en el ciclo 2020 a

2021.

Este verano nuestro edificio de la escuela recibió algunas actualizaciones. Los sistemas viejos de calefacción y aire

acondicionado han sido reemplazados con unidades más eficientes. Nuevas luces LED han sido instaladas y muchas unidades

eléctricas se han actualizado también. La Escuela tienen una oficina nueva remodelada y los espacios de enseñanza en donde

estaba la biblioteca. Un nuevo cuarto para la biblioteca y arte ha sido cambiado enfrente del pasillo donde el laboratorio viejo de

computación estaba anteriormente. La biblioteca remodelada tiene pintura nueva en las paredes y nuevos anaqueles un lavabo y

mesas nuevas. El Sagrado Corazón ahora tiene un sistema de registro de entrada digital en la entrada de la escuela en donde

podemos exhibir eventos e información de nuestra maravillosa escuela. Verdaderamente me siento muy bien de que tantas cosas

estén pasando aquí en La Escuela Católica de El Sagrado Corazón, a lo que puedo atribuirle la dedicación de maestros,

trabajadores, padres, parroquianos y estudiantes. También me gustaría dar mi sincero agradecimiento a los parroquianos de El

Sagrado Corazón. Muchas Gracias por su generosidad por ser colaboradores de los dones de Dios.
