Lunch/Recess Duty

Thank you to everyone that has helped to support our Parent Volunteer Program for lunch/recess duty. 

Your help has allowed the lunches to run smoothly and efficiently and helped to keep our students safe and active as they play outside.

We have had a great start to the school year with so many families volunteering. Thank you! Please help us to end October and November with filled sign ups.

If you are unable to volunteer during the school, but would like to fulfill your duty requirement, please contact Ms. Theresa in the school office to become a contact person that reminds parents of their duty days and helps to find substitute volunteers as needed.

If you have completed your family's 6 required days, but are available to help more, please sign up. We appreciate your support.

Clearances are required and Sr. Lynn can assist with any clearance questions. Please email her at slynn@sacredheartpgh.org.

Thank you for your support.

Fundraising Buy-Out Option

From the Parent/Student Handbook: The diocesan policy for funding in the elementary Catholic schools calls for each school to have fundraising activities to generate at least 10% of their total operating budget. To the extent possible, families of Sacred Heart Elementary School are asked to support the school fundraising efforts through participation and volunteering of time. All fundraisers, unless otherwise noted, are for the sole use of Sacred Heart Elementary School.

The annual fundraising goal for Sacred Heart is $150,000. That means that each family (300 families) should contribute approximately $500 worth of fundraising per year in order for us to meet our goal.

If you are unable to or would prefer not to be obligated to participate financially in all fundraisers, but would like to help us meet our goal, you can pay all or part of the the $500 Family Fundraising Buy Out through FACTSgiving using the link below.

Raffle tickets will be distributed November 1st. Please make sure you complete your buy out by the end of October if you do not want to receive raffle tickets.
