Alumni Weekend 2021 - Save the Date
On October 15-17, 2021, we will be hosting the first ever Silver and Gold Alumni Weekend. As many of you know, we were unable to have guests on campus last fall. As we slowly re-open our campus to visitors, we will be inviting alums who will/would have celebrated their 25th reunions and 50th reunions - alumni from 1995 and 1996 and from 1970 and 1971.
Stay tuned for details on the weekend events.
Seiker Award Nominations
Do you know of an exceptional Sheridan Road alum who exemplifies the Sacred Heart mission and its Goals and Criteria? If so, please submit a nomination for the Sr. Catherine I. Seiker, RSCJ Award, the highest alumnae/alumni recognition bestowed upon our alums. The deadline for all nominations is June 1.
For a list of all past recipients, please visit our website here.
Save the Date - Alumni Giving Day
Mark your calendars for June 11, the Feast of the Sacred Heart and Alumni Giving Day. Once again, we will be sharing videos, photos and touching words from our alumni and past parent community. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to make an honorary gift in honor of Nat Wilburn, Head of Schools, who will be concluding his 17-year tenure on Sheridan Road upon conclusion of the academic year.
If you would like to submit a video about the importance of Sacred Heart to your life, why you support the school and encourage others to do so, please email Ann Chiumino for instructions. As Mr. Wilburn concludes his time on Sheridan Road, we wish him all the best in his new role as Head of the Conference of Sacred Heart Education beginning on July 1, 2021.
Nat Wilburn Appointed to Sacred Heart Network Leadership Role
As Mr. Wilburn concludes his time on Sheridan Road, we wish him all the best in his new role as Head of the Conference of Sacred Heart Education beginning July 1, 2021. Mr. Wilburn will replace Sr. Suzanne Cooke, RSCJ, who assumes the role of Provincial of the United States-Canada Province.

While we will miss him on Sheridan Road, we are grateful that he will still be part of the Sacred Heart community!
Class Representatives
Would you like to get involved with SRAA but are unable to commit to being a Board member? Please consider being your class representative. It's a great way to reconnect with your Sacred Heart classmates. We are still looking for Class Representatives. If you would like to know who your Class Rep is or would like to be your Class Representative, please visit our website or contact Ann Chiumino.
Congratulations, SHS Class of 2017
Hard to believe—but these smiling faces from 6th grade are going to be graduating high school in a few weeks! Since we are not able to celebrate this class in person, we are asking all members of this class to send in the name of the college/university or life experience that you will be attending/doing in the fall. Please send a photo by May 28 of yourself in your college/university shirt/hat/whatever! Alumni Relations will be creating a piece that will be sent out and will include those photos in it.
Alumni Community Service
A huge thank you to Gabe G. H'19 and Aidan K. H'19, who provided much needed medical supplies to the Salvation Army Evangeline Booth Lodge. With the assistance of Ms. Salas at Sacred Heart, alums have been finding ways to our service partners in their time of greatest need.
On February 18, Sacred Heart's 8th grade Alumni Ambassadors and members of the Sheridan Road Alumni Association (SRAA) got together over Zoom to put together sack lunches for Sarah's Circle. The next day, more than 150 lunches were delivered to this amazing organization that provides services to homeless women in Chicago.
If you are an alum and have an idea for a community service project, or just want to get involved through the SRAA, please contact Ann Chiumino.

Annual Fund
Sacred Heart Schools is blessed with a committed faculty and staff working hard to educate students both in person and remotely this year.

As our world changes, Sacred Heart continues to be committed to providing a rigorous values-based curriculum for each and every student. A gift of any amount will help ensure that Sacred Heart students will have the technology, supplies and support they need to learn. The world is a better place when a child receives a Sacred Heart education. Visit our website to make a gift.
