Sacred Heart Academy Sacred Heart Academy is a small preK-12 school in Grand Rapids with a big vision for Catholic education. What makes Sacred Heart Academy different? Love.

Sacred Heart Academy is a preK-12 parish apostolate of Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish dedicated to assisting families, forming Catholics, and cultivating culture. Our educational ministry of serving families with children in preschool through 12th grade is rooted in the sacramental life of the Church. While growing in love of what is true, good, and beautiful, students are formed and edified by daily Mass, weekly Adoration, and monthly reconciliation. Love and Integrity. Love is the motive: what draws and excites the students should be a love of the thing studied. Love is also the aim. If we can speak in the tongues of men and angels, but we are not driven by love, then we just multiply the din that is our declining culture. Integrity. Integrity refers to the “wholeness” with which we address our work. Academic subjects are really artificial definitions in a common pursuit of one, unified Truth. We aim to form students according to the entirety of their persons - mind, body, soul. Our curriculum from Montessori to high school Humanities looks at objects and their integrated whole first and then particulars later. It is better to know what a thing is in itself before you dissect it, whether it be a poem, a painting, or a frog.

LAST CALL for Hearts in Harmony...

Today is the last day to get tickets for an evening of food, fun, fand friends.

It's looking like wet, chilly weather tomorrow evening...

But there's no better way to warm up than with convivial conversation over cocktails, live music, mouth-watering food, all in truly beautiful surroundings.

It will be an enchanting evening...

Whom would you love to share it with? Invite them along!

We just had a BIG WIN last night...

And I'm not talking about volleyball (though we DID win - GREAT JOB, Ladies!)

But it did happen at the volleyball game...

Sent to us by a parent from the opposing team from last night's game:

"Hello! We were at your school tonight for a volleyball game that our team played against your school. I just wanted to let you know how impressed I was with your school. Everyone was so kind and courteous , (students, families, etc) and it was super sweet that your team gave our seniors a flower! We are a christian family at a public school so it is very disheartening when we go to some of these catholic/christian schools and they have such poor sportsmanship.

I just wanted to make sure you knew how impressed we were. Thank you for being the light and showing the love of Jesus. :)"

We're humbled by -- and grateful to -- the parent who took the time to write that.

And we're also humbled by the upperclassmen who took it upon themselves to sweep the floor after the game.

It was a win-win-win situation:

1. The Falcon women on the volleyball court
2. That someone noticed there's something different here
3. The young men who cleaned up

You'll come for the music. But you'll stay for the craic (it's an old Gaelic term for "lively conversation/social atmosphere")...

Hearts in Harmony is one of those rare nights when Sacred Heart parents, grandparents, faculty, staff, and anyone -- and everyone -- who considers themselves a Friend of Sacred Heart Academy get to step away from the carpool line, put down the lesson plans, leave the kids behind, and enjoy one another's company.

Bring old friends. Meet new ones.

Bring your spouse. Bring the grandparents.

THIS Thursday at The Broadway Avenue.
