The Student Council of Holy Rosary School recently conducted a turkey sabotage with students in 3rd through 8th grade. Students competed with each other by purchasing and sabotaging feathers for their respective class turkeys.

Proceeds from the event went to Toys for Tots and to the Little Sisters of the Poor.
The winner of the Turkey Sabotage Contest was the 8th Grade, who raised the most money for this event.

Sacred Heart's Principal, Mary Ann Paddock-Kaminski
Raises Money for Muscular Dystrophy!
Sacred Heart School's Principal is "Arrested" (please read the story before you panic!!) until she makes "Bail" for Muscular Dystrophy
Mary Ann Paddock-Kaminski (Sacred Heart's Principal) was NOT really "arrested" on Tuesday and put in jail for the Muscular Dystrophy Association(MDA) Lock-Up.

Many of our readers panicked and concerned when they read the headlines this week about the principal at Sacred Heart of Jesus School, but she wasn't really arrested!! This is just Muscular Dystrophy's fun way of raising money for their cause. Willing volunteers go to "jail" and stay there until their "bail" is raised via donations to Muscular Dystrophy!

We are sorry if there was any confusion! But you will be happy to know that Sacred Heart's principal has advanced the MDA cause and helped raise needed funds for research and cures for 43 neuromuscular diseases.
