Volunteerism
The involvement of parents and parishioners over the years has significantly contributed to the strength of Sacred Heart. Active parental involvement is encouraged and needed. Because parents are viewed as the primary educators of their children, we offer numerous opportunities to get involved with the school, meet fellow parishioners, take part in your child’s education and just have fun. Listed below are some of the current opportunities.
Education Advisory Commission
Serves as a seven-member, advisory body to the principal and assistant principal with regard to policies governing the school educational program. Three year terms of office begin annually in June and terms are staggered to provide for continuity.
Fundraising
Fundraising at Sacred Heart School is conducted on a strictly voluntary basis. Although incentives are offered to individual students and to classes who perform well during fund drives, no family should feel undue financial hardship as a result of school fundraising.
Annual fundraising events are primarily organized through the PTS (Parents and Teachers for Students). This may include a fall Fun Run, fall and spring flower sales, as well as numerous ongoing fundraisers conducted throughout the year. These fundraisers include the dine to donate events, out of uniform pass, and specialty lunches. Many school improvements have been financed as a result of these fundraising efforts, including technology, playground equipment, cafeteria tables, facility dog, field trip transportation, teacher continuing education, and 6th and 8th grade retreats.
Library
Parents volunteer to assist the librarian in the cataloging and circulation of books, maintaining the library, and assisting students during library periods. A meeting to discuss volunteer opportunities is held by the school librarian shortly after the school year begins.
Festival
Each year Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish hosts a summer festival.
Other Opportunities
Numerous other opportunities to help exist. If you have a special interest, please speak up and volunteer!
