Parent Update
April 5, 2020

Holy Week begins; AMI Days continue
We miss you and hope you saw our video last week!
"They took palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting, "Hosanna!, Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Blessed is the King of Israel" John 12:13
 
This coming Sunday is Palm Sunday.  It marks the beginning of Holy Week, and is the day Jesus began His journey to the cross.
 
Sometimes in our busy lives we forget the significance of this day.
God's Word reminds us of the meaning of this story and directs us to the need for a Savior.
 
In the Gospels we find the story of Jesus entering into Jerusalem.  The people waved palm branches as he rode into town.  The Palm branch represents goodness and victory.
 
This is why we celebrate Holy Week, because of Christ's sacrifice and victory over sin for us.
 
Let us begin this week in thoughtful prayer

Note: Blessed palms will be available to pick up on Palm Sunday, April 5th during daylight hours in the front of church; if there are palms left after Sunday, they can be picked up during the week.  This and other such church announcements can be found at www.sacredheartmorrilton.org/church.

Letter from Principal Greeson
Re: Tuition

Dear Parents,

Thank you for your support and patience during this past week as our faculty ramped up their instruction delivery methods in new and creative ways.
 
We want to also thank you for continuing your support of our school through your regular tuition payments. As with the rest of the Diocese of Little Rock, we remain committed to paying all of our faculty and staff during this shut down. Your tuition payments are critical to our ability to pay our staff who are working to continue instruction during this difficult time. 
 
Our annual school budget is funded primarily through tuition and fundraising.  This year our successful development and fundraising efforts (your generosity) will help to carry us through even though we have had to cancel our Super Raffle.  Our budget will remain solvent so long as there are no other significant changes.
 
We do realize that some families are in unexpected financial situations and may need to make alternative arrangements. If this is the case, I encourage you to email me directly to further discuss how we can help.

Thank you and may God Bless all of you,
AMI INSTRUCTIONS FOR K-12

THANK YOU ALL for your patience and cooperation this past week.  All work will continue as specified last week.

Scholarships will be picked up on Sunday at 4:00 pm. No late applications will be accepted. Please follow the same procedures for the Ted Stocking application that is due on April 13th.

Thank you again for your patience during this time. We are all in this together and will do our best to meet the needs of our Sacred Heart family.
 
YEARBOOK UPDATE FROM JOSTENS, INC.:
As we all adapt to change, one thing that remains constant is the yearbook tradition of documenting the history of our students and capturing their school year forever. 

We are pleased to announce that the Sacred Heart School yearbook advisor and staff are working hard to complete the yearbook and make sure it is printed.

Since copies are limited and school schedules continue to change, we ask that you please order your yearbook ONLINE as soon as possible.
Stay tuned! SH Morning Messages will continue Monday morning at 8am via FB thanks to Mrs. Bottoms and her sixth grade helpers!
