Pay it Forward

Remember how the 5th graders received $100 from the Catholic Spirit contest? Well, we wish to thank all of you for helping support our Pay It Forward cause by bringing in change for Uganda families and purchasing bandabead necklaces, bracelets, and earrings. With your effort and sacrifices, we raised $1667.00. Wow!
We are so excited to present this money to Melanie Fagerstrom, a friend of the Ghani family, who will be traveling to Uganda, Africa in May to adopt two children and who will present the money to a missionary who will use the money to buy food and shelter for the children. God bless the Sacred Heart Family for making a difference in the lives of children in Uganda. Thank you so much! SHS 5th Graders

Thank you for ordering Butterbraids for our gr. 5-8 Junior Achievement Biz Town trip. The pick up date is March 17th from 2:00-6:00 p.m. in the Marian Rooms. They need to be picked up on this date since they come frozen and we do not have freezer space to keep them frozen.

GoodSearch Blitz

GoodSearch is a great way to help earn FREE money for our school!  All you need to do is use www.goodsearch.com as your search engine on the Internet.  We have already received two checks from GoodSearch since becoming a GoodSearch Charity!  We want to thank everyone who has helped us over the last two years, but now we have a challenge for you.  During the month of March, we want to get as MANY GoodSearch searches as we can.  Our highest month was January 2007, where we had 1,743 searches which actually gave us $23.36 as each search was worth 1.3¢.  We want to break this record and break it big!  Tell your family, add it to your email signature, get your workplace involved, leave messages on Internet forums, if you blog, BLOG about GoodSearch!!  Ask them to help us Blitz March and make it the highest month we have ever had!!  I believe that we can surpass the 2,000 search mark!  Lets set a goal of 2,500 searches and see if we can beat it!!!

Look what you can do to help!

gs-school-120x60
Sacred Heart School received a check in the amount of $187.75 for using
GoodSearch.    Imagine if every time you logged on, you earned money for
charity. With each search you launch on goodsearch.com, about 1 cent goes to Sacred Heart School.  You simply select Sacred Heart School, Robbinsdale,
from a database of thousands, then tell all your friends, tell your friends to tell their friends and so on. If 1,000 people with the same charity
search twice a day for a year, the charity earns $7,300.  Thank you for using GoodSearch.

Logo
Sacred Heart School received a check in the amount of $1003.26 for participating in the
