CLAY COUNTY FOOD DRIVE THANK YOU!
Thank you for your support of the Clay County Food Drive! SHGS students, parents, and teachers filled 188 boxes with food to be delivered to Clay County families. What a wonderful way to begin the Advent season.
KIDS’ NIGHT OUT!
Please join us for Kids’ Night Out to benefit Charleston Catholic’s Housing Outreach Project Express (HOPE). Preregistration is required. Forms are due to the SHGS office by 12/5.
HOPE is a community service project sponsored by CCHS. HOPE has the dual purpose of improving the quality of housing for low income families and seniors in Clay County and instilling the habit of service in students, a commitment to living the works of mercy. Each summer, members of the junior and seniors class, along with alumni, teachers, and other CCHS community members travel to Clay County to make homes drier, warmer, and safer.
Charleston Catholic High School has been involved in home renovation projects for disadvantaged families in West Virginia for 25 years. For the past 10 years, HOPE volunteers have focused their efforts in Clay County. Sacred Heart Grade School provides support to these families by participating in the Clay County Food Drive and other fund raising opportunities for HOPE, such as HOPE T-shirt sales and Kids’ Night Out.
A 150th Celebration!
Students at Sacred Heart Grade School celebrated the sesquicentennial of Sacred Heart Parish with church tours, a scavenger hunt, a presentation by Father Brian, art activities, and the creation of a time capsule to be opened in 25 years by SHGS students. Congratulations on your 150th anniversary, Sacred Heart Parish!

Parents may begin calling the school office to schedule conferences on October 24 at 9:00 a.m.
Important Reminders
Family Name/Car Pool Signs need to be clearly displayed on the dashboard of your car for the drive through dismissal line. Please create a sign approximately 4”x12” with your family name or the name of your carpool in large, dark , block letters. Please remain in your car during the drive through process and allow the teachers to help those students who need assistance. Both of these steps
will help us to keep the line moving quickly during dismissal.
Liturgy Note: On Fridays, students need to be in their classrooms by 7:50 a.m. so they will be on time for the parish/school liturgy. Please remember that there is no flash photography during Mass. Though the children are involved , this is a religious service, not a production. There is time to take pictures with the class after Mass at the front of the church. Your support is greatly appreciated.
Non-Custodial Parents who wish to receive copies of their children’s progress reports and report cards should send 10 self-addressed stamped envelopes to the school office by September 15.
PVA General Meeting: The first General Meeting is planned for Wednesday, September 7 at 8:05 a.m. in the school cafeteria. Virtus Training must be completed by all volunteers before they can volunteer at the school. Online training is available at www.virtusonline.org. Details can be found on this website. Once you receive this training, you do not have to take it again.
YMCA van: Students who ride the YMCA van after school must have written permission on file at the school indicating the days they will be riding. Any changes during the course of the year to a child’s van dismissal schedule must be submitted in writing to the school office.
