Reminders for 5/11

Dear Parents,

Please see the following reminders:

• Teacher Appreciation Week - On behalf of the Sacred Heart Faculty & Staff, I would like to thank everyone who was a part of making this past week very special. The food was great and plentiful, the Grab Bags were very appreciated and the parents that made time to help set up and clean up were wonderful. We are very blessed!
• Dance Classes - Mrs. Chapman asked me to let you know that most dance classes are now full. There are a couple of spots in a multi-age jazz class, and there are a couple of spots in a beginner 4th grade and up ballet class. There will be a waiting list started for all classes that are full. If you would like to be on the waiting list for an available spot, please contact Mrs. Chapman as soon as possible @ 256-453-2811.
• 11th Grade Parents/Students - Mr. Hill will be having a meeting concerning the Graduation Reception that is hosted by the Junior Class on Wednesday, May 16th @ 3 PM.
• The PTO would like to inform you about several ways you can raise money for our school, without buying or spending anything extra! 
   
  A message from the PTO: 
   
  Boxtops for Education 
  If you look closely, you may notice these tiny labels on many grocery and paper items that you regularly purchase (like Cheerios, Kleenex, Ziploc, Betty Crocker, etc.) Simply clip them and turn them in to the school. Ask your extended family to clip them, too! This year we expect to earn almost $500, but we know we could earn more! A complete list of items that are included in the BTFE program, and coupons can be found at: http://www.boxtops4education.com 
   
  As an added incentive to collect over the summer, the PTO will provide an ice cream party at the beginning of the school year for the class that collects the most labels over the summer. Following the contest, we will also be placing new boxes to collect boxtops at the school and at the church. 
   
  Target Red Card 
  Target provides a debit card that links to your existing checking account for Target purchases. You receive 5% off your purchase, and the school receives 1%. As of the most recent distribution in August 2011, Sacred Heart School had received $1460 from this program. Visit your local Target for an application or online at https://redcard.target.com/redcard/rc_main.jsp Please note that we are listed as Sacred Heart School, Ft. McClellan, AL 36205, School ID 2329.
   

  Gift Cards (SCRIP)

  As you probably already know, the school participates in a program where we received a percentage (varying from 1.5-14% based on the vendor) when you purchase gift cards through the office. Stock up now for your summer grocery, gasoline, and gift-giving needs! An order form can be found at http://www.sacredheartcardinals.org/documents/scrip.pdf. Natalie has many cards in-stock, and orders placed by May 15th will be received by the end of the school year. Orders can also be placed during the summer. The school office is open Monday through Thursday, 8am to 4pm, and orders placed on Monday will be received by Thursday of the same week.

  
  

  Thank you for your continued support of Sacred Heart School.
  Have a great weekend, Natalie

Reminders for 5/8/2012

• America: A Star Spangled Production (Grades 2 thru 5) - Will be tonight @ 6 PM in the Fine Arts Room. Students involved in the production will need to be at the school by 5:45 (dressed and ready to perform).
• Private Voice Teachers - Eric and Estefania Wilcox will be at the school tonight in the Conference Room @ 5:30 to sign up students for the 2012-2013 school year and answer any questions you may have. Please contact Mrs. Pullen for more information @ S_Pullen@sacredheartcardinals.org.
• College Application Seminar (for upcoming seniors) - Will be this Thursday, May 10th @ 6 PM. Please bring your child and plan to discuss curriculum options, financial aid, and other aspects of the upcoming school year.
• Drivers Education - Butch Wright will be offering Drivers Ed this summer and currently has some openings. Mr. Wright is not affiliated with the school but if you are interested, you may pick up an information sheet in the front office.
• Youth Protection Class - St. Charles in Jacksonville will be hosting a Youth Protection class on Thursday, May 17th @ 6:30 - 8:30 PM. If you have not had this class or you are due for another class (every 3 years), you will need to do so in order to chaperone on field trips, volunteer or drive students to events. Hopefully, we will host another class at Sacred Heart School in the fall (just after school starts) but most classes are not local. You must contact St. Charles if you plan to attend so they can get an accurate count @ 256-435-3238. They will issue a card to you as proof of attendance (please do not lose the card).
• Math & Science Summer Camps (Upcoming 2nd,3rd,4th & 5th grades) - There are still a couple openings in both Math & Science Camps if you would like to register your child.
• Jr. High Volleyball Tryouts - Coach Miller asked me to let you know that your child may ride the bus to Parker Memorial for $1 for tryouts today and tomorrow. Time: 3:15-4:45.
• Basic Skill Volleyball Camp (for girls in 3rd,4th,5th & 6th grades) - Will be May 21st thru May 23rd @ the Gym from 3:30 - 5:00. The cost is $10 and students may take the school bus to the Gym on those days for $1.
• Yearbook Pictures - Mrs. Gaines still needs some Senior baby pictures. If your not sure whether your child has brought a photo, you can send her a quick email. Also, if any parents have pictures from field trips or class activities (except Halloween and Pumpkin Patch trips) you may send a copy of the disk to Mrs. Gaines. Please send as soon as possible.
