Family Letter     February 2012



Dear Families,

I can’t believe that January is over and we are headed to February. We have been teased with tantalizing weather just to be brought back to reality with the “delightful” snow. Please keep your fingers crossed on February 2nd in hopes of the groundhog not to see his shadow so that Spring will be right around the corner.

The beginning of Lent will take place on Wednesday, February 22nd at our All School Mass, at 10:00a.m, for Ash Wednesday. Please join us to receive ashes as our reminder that the Lord loved all of so much that He gave his own life to save us. During the 40 days are you going to repeat the routine of what you usually do for Lent: no sweets or complaining, extra prayer, and the usual fasting and abstinence? Maybe it is time to realize that you weren’t growing spiritually or being challenged with those routines. Take time to talk with your family to see what everyone can do together.

Our PTO and School Advisory Board continue their great efforts to raise funds with your help. Our World’s Finest Candy Sale will run from February 3rd – 17th. We ask that every family try to sell one box if not more. The top selling family will win $100 off their March tuition. Each family that sells a box will receive an out-of-uniform pass for their child/ren & a chance to win a solid “5 Pound” World’s Finest Chocolate Candy Bar. The next fun event for your entire family on the calendar is the FUN MARDI GRAS NIGHT on Friday, February 10th from 6-9p.m. There will be dancing, games, raffles, food & so much more. We hope you are able to come out with family and friends to have a great time! The purpose behind our fundraisers is to help our school remain academically strong. The cost of tuition at Sacred Heart is significantly less than the cost incurred to educate each student, and raising these funds is one way to off-set the difference---your support is needed and appreciated.

Our School Advisory Board met this past week to set tuition rates for the 2012-2013 school year. We will be sending home soon the new fees so you can save on early registration rates.

 


STAY WARM AND HEALTHY!


Mrs. Barbara Ciconte, Principal
