VOLUNTEERS MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE
Volunteering is a great way to be part of the community at Sacred Heart School. The Parents Club coordinates how parent volunteers may support the school throughout the year. Not only is volunteering a wonderful way to meet other parents, but you can make a real impact on our school and students. There are many ways for parents to get involved, such as programs, projects, fundraisers, sports, events, and open house tours. No matter how much time you have available and can commit, there is a job waiting for you. The Parents Club Board members and many new friends will help you do it.

FUNDRAISING
Each year, the Parents Club runs serval fundraisers, including Super Bowl and March Madness Boxes, Raffles at various fun events for the school, the Book Fair, and our Annual Spring Fling Event- to name a few. These fundraisers help to fund serval school educational, spiritual, and enrichment programs, teacher, and school wish lists, along with $30,000 in support of the school operating budget.
