The swim team had another great season. We came in third across the board: 3rd place in both the girls' and boys' categories, as well as 3rd in the combined standing. All SHMS swimmers did an amazing job racing and represented our wonderful Sacred Heart community with pride. We are so very proud of them!

A special shout out to Charlie Hazel who broke the CSAA record in the Boys 3rd grade 50-yard freestyle, and Fitz Moter who broke the CSAA record in the Boys 3rd grade 25-yard backstroke.

Congratulations to the SHMS Bears for a job well done!

Sacred Heart Model School is excited to be welcoming Kimberly Brubaker Bradley to speak to level 4-8 students about her new book, The Night War (release date of April 9, 2024) on April 10, 2024 in the SHMS Gym. The Night War shows Kimberly’s trademark ability to blend history, emotion, humor, and adventure, this time with a speculative twist. As in her previous WWII novels, the history here is vivid, working to highlight Miri’s captivating personal journey rather than overshadow it.  Kimberly Brubaker Bradley is the author of Newbery Honor winners Fighting Words and The War that Saved My Life. The sequel to the latter, The War I Finally Won, appeared on many state-award and best-books lists and was described as “stunning” by The Washington Post and “honest” and “daring” by The New York Times. Kimberly and her husband have two grown children and live with their dog, several ponies, a highly opinionated mare, and a surplus of cats on a fifty-two acre farm in Bristol, Tennessee.

The City of Jerusalem

As we draw closer to Holy Week, SHMS students in the Atrium are starting to explore the Paschal Mystery. The City of Jerusalem work includes a model of the city with movable parts: temple, walls, pools, and important buildings. This work helps the children enter into the story of Jesus’s death and resurrection by solidifying that Jesus was a real historical person who celebrated his last supper, suffered, died and rose in/around the sacred city of Jerusalem.

This presentation offers a sensorial experience of the most important city in Jesus’ life. Key sites of the passion, death, and resurrection are highlighted with a brief narrative of those events. The aim of this presentation is to communicate Jesus’s total gift of himself culminating in the resurrection. The perfect gift of God’s self-giving love for us.

In the Atrium, we never speak of Jesus dying without immediately mentioning his rising. The focus isn’t on his death, but rather on the gift of his life, of his love, and how his rising from the dead meant Jesus could share that gift with all of us.

Thank you to the Louisville Fire Department for helping our Level 8 scientists reach new heights for their egg drop experiment! 🚒🥚🎈Students had so much fun cheering on the brave firefighter who dropped the L8 eggs from 60 feet high! There were a few accidents, but most eggs dropped safely intact, the result of hours of research and experimentation. Great job, L8!

For the past several years we have partnered with SHA to provide free tutoring/homework assistance to students in Levels 6 – 8 through the SHA Academic Coaching program. The girls who tutor are participants in the Jean Frazier Leadership Institute at Sacred Heart Academy. Tutoring will take place on Thursdays in MYP Room 317 until 3:45 pm. Mrs. McGreevy is the faculty member responsible for supervising the tutors and helping to facilitate communication between the tutors and the students while Mrs. Church is recovering from surgery.

Each day prior to Thursday, an update will be shared during the PM announcements to let students know if SHA Academic Coaching is planned for that week. Scheduling is done at the high school level. Please contact Mrs. McGreevy at [email protected] with any questions.

The cost of the program is $20 per day ($25 on 11:30 a.m. dismissal days) along with a $75 deposit (payable to SHMS) to hold a spot for your child in the program.
