Justice Day

Save the Date: January 14, 2011

Justice Day is part of the overall effort to deepen the Schools' commitment to the work of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The day focuses on how the arts can inspire us to express our commitment to social justice. Each grade participates in activities either on campus or throughout the larger Chicago area. Activities are tied to topics students are studying within the curriculum and include musical and story-telling performances, visits to city cultural centers and houses of worship, special exhibits on campus, guest speakers, and in-class activities designed to help raise awareness of issues of social justice.

The theme for Justice Day 2010 - One World, One Voice.

Thumb Print Mural
All students at Sacred Heart came together to create “ONE WORLD,” a thumbprint mosaic MURAL of the globe. Thumb prints in different colors were taken from every child  to represent the continents and oceans. Look for this beautiful mural at school. 

International Outreach
In an another effort to link Justice Day to our theme "One World, One Voice," 6th Graders wrote letters to many Sacred Heart Network International Schools telling them about our Justice Day and asking their students to share issues of justice that are important to them at their schools. We have received letters and emails in return from SHS Network schools in Australia, Mexico and France so far. The responses were displayed around the school the week of Justice Day.
