Physical Education Program

Strong Bodies, Strong Minds!

When prospective parents visit our school, they often ask, "Do you offer Physical Education?" The answer is Yes!

Students have P.E. each week. These classes are held during the regular school hours and are an important part of the Sacred Heart School curriculum.

The Physical Education program emphasizes physical skills as well as cooperative learning skills.
Sacred Heart’s Physical Education's Program’s primary goal is to provide students with the necessary skills and knowledge that will allow them to lead healthy, active lifestyles.

If a child is physically unable to participate, he is to present a doctor's statement to this effect. Gym uniforms and sneakers are to be worn for every gym class.

Art Program

The art program in grades K-8 is planned to provide art appreciation, enrichment and creative activities for the students through a variety of media.

Art education is essential to fulfilling the potential of the whole child by fostering intellectual, social, and creative growth. Our elementary program provides opportunities for students to use a large variety of media in an expressive and organized form. Students are encouraged to explore different solutions to problems to develop divergent thinking. This skill is fundamental to the creative process. Through art, we are able to teach critical thinking, analysis, and judgment. Art is integrated with other disciplines in the elementary curriculum.

The elementary art program strives to develop the joy of discovery through art in a nurturing and positive learning environment. We recognize the unique style of each child, and that each child will produce art at his/her own level of development. The curriculum provides experiences to guide students toward a lifetime of appreciation and pleasure through art.

Music Program

Classroom Music Instruction

The classroom music instruction is designed to help the students in K-8 grades to acquire an appreciation for a variety of music types. Emphasis is placed on singing and listening to music for enjoyment and relaxation.  In addition, the music program at Sacred Heart School strives to provide a well-rounded, whole child approach to music education. Every December, the children in grades 1-4 perform a Christmas Concert under the direction of our Music Teacher.

Spanish Instruction

Ongoing in-class time is devoted to learning Spanish through our Spanish program. The program introduces students to Spanish and teaches vocabulary. Exposing students to the whole language is Sacred Heart’s approach to our Spanish classes. Basic conversation, culture, foods and music some of the topics covered.
