Sacred Hearts Academy celebrates its 107th birthday this school year. That’s more than a century’s worth of memorable moments made by this all-girls Catholic school. But the memory-making doesn’t end there. Rather, it continues in full force with the annual Academy Birthday Week.

To prepare, the Student Council is hard at work, planning fun events for the students, faculty and staff to enjoy. The action-packed week begins–not with birthday cake but–with a birthday pep rally on Monday, Sept. 12. To celebrate as Lancers, the school is encouraged to wear white and gold or an Academy t-shirt.

And what birthday party would be complete without a frozen treat? On Tuesday, students can enjoy ice cream in the courtyard at recess. Then on Wednesday, the week gets even sweeter when the Taste Tea Truck rolls up on campus. The food truck will be at the PAC Building Courtyard from 1 to 4 p.m. 

On Thursday, the Council invites students to put on their game faces for the Flip Cup Challenge. The competition takes place during lunch at the Frear Courtyard.

Then on Friday, the birthday celebration ends with the annual Club Fair. This is when Academy students can learn about the different school clubs. They can also quench their thirst with a refreshing lemonade. One cup costs $0.50, while refills are $0.35.

Throughout the week, the Student Council will be hosting an Instagram Challenge. The challenge invites students to participate for a prize. More info can be found on the Student Council Instagram account (@shastudentcouncil).
