                                                             Reflection
What do you treasure above all else and how do you keep it secure? In a peasant community the best safe was often
          the earth. The man in the parable "went in his joy" to sell everything he had (Matthew 13:44).
 Why? Because he found a hidden treasure worth possessing above everything else he had. He did not, however,
have enough to buy the treasure. Fortunately, he only needed enough money to buy the field. In a similar fashion,
 God offers his kingdom as incomparable treasure at a price we can afford! We can't pay the full price for the rich
 and abundant life which God offers us - but when we willingly exchange our life for the life which God offers, we
                                       receive a treasure beyond compare.
  Lord Jesus, reveal to me the true riches of your kingdom. Help me to set my heart on you alone as the treasure
 beyond compare with any other. Free my heart of any inordinate desires or attachment to other things that I may
               freely give to you all that I have in joy and gratitude for all that you have given to me.
                                  May I always find joy and delight in your presence

SACRED HEART SCHOOL - WHAT’S HAPPENING THIS SUMMER

The Way to Live is to Hel Others
                                    Wondering what the Eagles are doing this summer? Many of them found some time to visit
                                    local places while others are enjoying staycation and at the same time helping our local
                                    community. It may be summer vacation for the school faculty, staff, and students but this
                                    does not mean that they do not have time to serve others especially the
                                    poor in our local community.
                                    Religion teacher Mrs. Maria Bilodeau coordinates service and drop offs
                                    and, with the help of math teacher Mrs. Diane Halsema and Social
                                    Studies teacher Mrs. Jeannie Ferguson, deliver clothes, food, shoes, and
                                    socks to the less fortunate both in FROG and the local soup kitchen in
                                    New Smyrna Beach. Students like incoming 8th graders Erica L. took the
                                    time to drop off toys while Ofelia S. with the help of her grandmother
and parents made bracelets for seniors in local nursing home and some were distributed to women in the
local soup kitchen.
                    Incoming 7th grader Connor R. together with his Scout Troop adopted a sea turtle
                    nest and are currently monitoring the nest to help the Turtle Patrol. Bags of brand
                    new and gently used clothes and belts which are very much needed this summer
                    were donated by Mrs. Buck, Mrs. Zelenty, and a few other teachers.
                    Sacred Heart School community always works together to care for others. They all
                    believe that the way to live is to help others. Just like what Mother Teresa said,
                    “Never worry about numbers. Help one person at a time and always start with the
                    person nearest you.” This is precisely the reason why the poor in our local
                    community of New Smyrna Beach, Edgewater, and Oak Hill are dearest and closest
                    to the hearts of our Sacred Heart students and teachers.
                       No one will ever be alone for as long as SHS is here! Go Eagles!
