Saturday, February 4, 2017. The SHA Chamber Singers will be performing at Kleinhan's Music Hall as part of the

Community Spotlight Concert Series (held in the Mary Seaton Room). The singers will then attend the BPO concert

that evening and have an opportunity to meet and interact with one of the musicians that evening. Members of

the Wind Ensemble Class are expected to attend this concert as part of their course work (weekend field trip).

Tickets for this performance are deeply discounted and parents, friends, relative, faculty, and staff are all welcome

to attend. Just mention the school name and receive Adult tickets for $20 and Student Tickets for $7. Please see

Pages 15 and 16 for more details.

GOING HOME SICK

Students are required to be assessed by the school nurse if they want to go home due to illness. Any students that

contact their parents to be picked up from school without first seeing the nurse will be given detention. This rule was

discussed during orientation at the beginning of the year and was also in the newsletter last fall. Heretofore, the

excuse of "I didn't know that was a rule" by a student is unacceptable and will result in an automatic detention.

RESURGENCE BREWING CO.

The Junior Class parents are hosting a gift gathering party for the Sandstone (April 1st) at Resurgence Brew on

January 26th. Please see the flyer on Page 17 for more information.

Sacred Heart Academy’s 12th Annual

Day of Sharing What is it?

Day of Sharing is a school-wide day of service in the community. Students, faculty, staff, alumnae, the Board of Directors, and anyone else in the SHA community are invited to join us for our eleventh annual SHA Day of Sharing. Last year Sacred Heart sent more than 700 people to 60 different sites to share their time and talent to benefit our community and the people in our community. Some of the sites we served last year were Amherst Meals on Wheels, Burchfield Nature and Art Center, Equi Star Therapeutic Riding Center, and Women and Children’s Hospital.

When is it? This year’s Day of Sharing will be held on Friday, April 21, 2017. All volunteers will meet at Sacred Heart at 8:00

a.m. for a commissioning service and then we will go out into the community. We will volunteer at our sites from about 9:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. All of the volunteers will return to school to enjoy dessert and beverages in the cafeteria with one another.

Interested in joining us? There are several ways to get involved and this day wouldn’t happen without all of the great volunteers like

yourself. You are invited to join us for the entire day and volunteer at one of our sites. We also need individuals who would be interested in simply driving our volunteers to and from their sites. There is also some behind-the scenes work that needs to be done. If you are interested in participating in this year’s Day of Sharing in any way please fill out the information sheet at the bottom of this page and send it to Sacred Heart Academy, Attn: Bridget McGuinness, 3860 Main Street, Buffalo, NY 14226. If you have any questions or would like more information please contact Bridget McGuinness at 834-2101 ext. 312 or at [email protected]. More information will be sent home to all registered volunteers closer to the date.

Tau RETREAT 2017

Sacred Heart Campus Ministry

Tau is a religious retreat program grounded in the Charism of St. Francis. Charism is a general term that

indicates a personal gift of the Spirit used for the good of the Church. A faithful person receives a charism, the gift of the Holy Spirit, when he/she opens himself/herself to God's grace. As a Franciscan school, we aim to observe the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ by following the example of St. Francis of Assisi, who made Christ the inspiration

and the center of his life with God and people. Tau is an ancient symbol also known as the Franciscan Cross. Tau

is the 19th letter of the Greek alphabet that represents Theos or God. During this retreat, the students will have the opportunity to spend meaningful time with God within our Christian community. Retreatants will experience a series of talks given both by peers and adults and participate in many individual and group activities. Prayer and the Sacraments are an essential part of the program as well as the participants' involvement in discussions and other exercises.

The purpose of Tau is to allow the retreatant to see the value of her Christian faith as experienced in

community. With the support of that community, she can more effectively find her true worth as a person in relationship with God, her family and her friends. Space is limited to the first 20 registrants; sign-up early.
