Good Afternoon,

I hope that you all enjoyed the beautiful New England Fall long weekend. We have had a good and busy week. As you know, we start each day with announcements, The Hail Mary, and The Pledge of Allegiance--I am extremely proud of the Fourth graders who are leading the school in morning prayer over the PA system. They are doing a great job as did the Fifth graders before them.

Please make sure your child comes to school with a charged Chromebook.

Progress Reports are being sent home today. Please sign and return the bottom portion to your child’s homeroom teacher. Some teachers have requested meetings with parents. If your child’s teacher did not request a meeting but you have concerns you would like to discuss or just want to touch base, please email your child’s teacher. Communication is important!

Open House for prospective new families is this SUNDAY from 12-2:00. Please spread the word! I want to express my thanks to our student volunteer tour guides and to our teachers for giving up a Sunday afternoon to come to school. We are hoping for a good turnout.

Walk-a-Thon pledges were due today for the Parents' Association. If your child did not turn in his/her pledges today, kindly send them in on Monday.

October 19th - Early Dismissal @11:30. The Parents' Association has a bowling event that afternoon. Please RSVP to shpa@sacredheartkingston.com to register.

October 19th - Band (modified schedule)

October 20th - Pizza lunch for Grades 1-8.

October 22nd - Trunk or Treat

Upcoming:

October 27th - Project Safe Childhood Presentation in the auditorium for grades 4 - 8. Please refer to the email I sent out earlier this week.

October 28th - Middle School Dance--please turn in the envelopes.

We are honored to have been asked again this year to help out with the Food Pantry at St. Joseph’s in Kingston. Please see the attached form. Each classroom is collecting different items. We will do this again at Christmastime too. The need is greater than ever with food prices being so high.

Thank you,

Sister Lydia

Good afternoon Sacred Heart Parents and Families, The beautiful warm weather was a welcomed reprieve from last week's arctic chill, especially for our students who spent time playing outside in the sunshine today.

If your child does not attend school on this date, you are welcome to bring your child in at 8:30 to participate in the class photo with their classmates.

Good afternoon Sacred Heart Parents and Families, We had a fun-filled Catholic Schools week with many activities which brought our school community together. We know your investment in Catholic school education provides your child with a strong foundation in faith. We thank you for your commitment and dedication to our Sacred Heart family. The children created cards for local Veterans, our PA parents and beautiful valentines for our Sisters of Divine Providence. We all enjoyed celebrating our wonderful school, Sacred Heart. As our re-enrollment process is just around the corner, the Admissions’ Department shared pertinent information via email with regards to securing a place at the Early Childhood Center as well as the Elementary School for the 2023-2024 school year. There are many young siblings of current Sacred Heart students, who may be ready to join our Sacred Heart family. If you are interested in registering your perspective “Little Saint,” please click here to do so. We ask that you fill out an application through our website at your earliest convenience. These spots are filling quickly and we want to be sure to be thoughtful of your wish to send any siblings to Sacred Heart. Reminders: Wednesday, February 8th- Early Dismissal at 11:25 Wednesday, February 15th- Class Photos Stay warm this weekend, Sarah Chick

Good afternoon Sacred Heart Parents and Families, December is upon us and with that, bringing colder weather and the feeling of Christmas. The ECC has begun to prepare for the Advent season, as our students are learning the true meaning of Christmas during classroom conversations and their time with Sr. Angela. This week's preparation included lighting the first candle on our Advent wreath in the lobby, helping the children understand the preparation of welcoming Jesus on his birthday. One new candle will be lit each Sunday until Christmas. I have included a special prayer shared by Sr. Angela. Please take a moment to read it with your family, as we approach the second week of Advent. In our Lobby, a lighted, Evergreen tree stands by our manger, reminding us of the special night Jesus was born. We are teaching the children that giving to others in need, this winter season, doesn’t always come wrapped as a present; it is the giving of ourselves through good deeds. This is our birthday present to Jesus. During this cold winter season, we are asking the children and families to help others by bringing new mittens/gloves, hats, scarves, socks, diapers (size 3-6) and onesies to the ECC. This small gesture will help children stay warm this winter. We will display these items on our Evergreen tree, reinforcing the “gift” of giving to others in need. Thank you for any donations you wish to contribute. Reminders: Wednesday, December 7th- Early dismissal at 11:25, no lunch Tuesday, December 13th- Pizza Lunch Thursday, December 22nd- Early Childhood Christmas Show @ 10:30. More details to follow & Early Dismissal @ 11:25 Friday, December 16th & Thursday, December 22nd- No aftercare on these days. Warm regards, Sarah Chick

Good afternoon Sacred Heart Parents and Families, Today the children enjoyed preparing for our ECC Thanksgiving Feast by baking bread, creating Turkey decorations, and sharing conversations about all that God has blessed us with, during this time of thankfulness. During Monday’s celebration, we will gather together as a Sacred heart family and share a Thanksgiving feast at lunchtime. The children will be served a traditional meal of turkey, mashed potatoes, bread, corn, stuffing, cranberry sauce and gravy. All ECC students are welcome to join our feast. If your child does not attend school on Monday, please feel free to bring him/her into school at 11:00am to join their classmates. We ask that you pick your child up at 12:00pm, after our celebration. We are looking forward to this special day.
