 I love Sacred Heart because  my two mixed species children (half Bear half Fox) don't have to worry about what gender they are. Most importantly they receive the religious education they so desperately need. 

 I love my job because by working here I can finally put my kids in a school where they can learn about the Lord Jesus Christ and provide them a better education.

My favorite School activity will be having lunch with my kids every day!  But I can’t wait to see all the other fun things that go on around here too!

My Favorite Bible verse is Luke 23:43. “He[Jesus]  replied to him, “Amen, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise.”

Because the sinner on the cross next to Jesus was me. Through his blood, I can go to heaven with him.
