Summer 2009 - Sacred Heart Cathedral School

Sacred Heart Cathedral SchoolA Letter From The PrincipalDear families and friends,CreditsSedonna J. Prater, PrincipalPam Rhoades, EditorAnita Poore,DevelopmentPhotos courtesy of Big OrangeProfessional Photography, DanBarile Photography, PatriceStaley, and Pam RhoadesACTIONS is published by theOffice of Development andCommunications for its students,parents, grandparents, faculty,staff, and friends.Inquiries can be made toACTIONS, Sacred HeartCathedral School, 711Northshore Drive, Knoxville, TN37919, call (865) 558-4106, oremail rhoadesp@shcschool.orgA few weeks ago, Patty West, the chairman of the eighth grade Graduation Receptioncommittee, requested that I have the 8th grade students write a few lines along the theme of“Footprints on the Heart”. As I prepared for graduation, I have given considerable thought tothat sentiment. The students wrote of the pride that they have felt over the accomplishmentsexperienced throughout the years----how proud many of our students felt to be inducted into theNational Junior Honor Society, or to have taken part in the Rose Receptions and Upward Trend.Middle school helped many of them realize that hard work and consistent effort are the basis ofachieving good grades. I read in the lines that they felt prepared for high school. Students in theClass of 2009 have demonstrated leadership by being involved in student government, the techteam, and scouts. They have won speech contests and competed in a wide variety of scholasticevents. Our students have participated in science fairs and lived through cow’s eye dissections.Our eighth graders remembered the excitement of attending Wesley Woods, Space Camp, andCamp Greenville. They have worked backstage and center stage to put on school plays. All ofour students have created art and music, and raised their voices in song. Some of our studentswill be forever remembered for their interesting talent show acts! So many of our eighth graderstalked about the huge accomplishment of being original members of the Liturgical Musicministry, and how proud they were to help bring it to fruition.In the area of sports, our students have brought honor to our school on every playing fieldand court. They have demonstrated that whether it is a winning season or not, goals can be metwhen you worked together as a “team”.I fondly read as the eighth grade students recalled being the “little kids”, and being in awe ofthe older students. And, as I have watched them take their turn at being the oldest, they haveworked with buddy classes and camps created for the younger ones, served as tutors, providedencouragement and kindness, and were inspired to be positive role models. Our students havecontributed by serving at Mass, completing thousands of service hours, and working on manyprojects for the school and in the community beyond its doors. They told me in their statementsthat they could see the impact of “being the body” in terms of the positive influence this schoolhas had on them. They expressed appreciation for our Catholic school education, learned muchabout their faith and, as one student wrote, try to “ be more Christ-like in everything I do”.Whether they had been a member of this school community since attending the preschool oronly for a single year, our students have made great friends and found that they have had amazingteachers. I was impressed by the number of students that said they would carry on the values,enthusiastic attitude, and self-confidence learned at Sacred Heart to high school and throughouttheir lives. What most of the eighth graders recognized is the importance of everyone’s presenceand individual contributions to the school! Especially during their final year, through all theachievements and hard work, they realized that they helped transform a brick and mortar facilityinto a “place of heart”.William James said, “The great use of life is to spend it for something that will outlast it.” Oureighth grade students understand that they have made a lasting and wondrous impression onthose who follow. They feel the importance of doing so. What a thought as they continue life’sjourney. . . Congratulations to the class of 2009!Page 2

Sacred Heart Cathedral SchoolHeart-to-Heart PlayersThe SHCS Theater Department presentedtwo very successful productionsthis year! The fall play, “It’s a Bird, It’s aPlane, It’s a Nerdman”, was a silly spoof onSuperman, and the spring presentation,the classic drama, “Pollyanna”, showcasedthe wide spectrum of the talents of ourstudents.Producer/Director Mrs. Libby Talleysays, “Actor selection is the most difficultof all the decisions a Director must make.I agonize over each role, trying to makesure that every actor fits the role. The studentsmust choose a skit, reading, or poemthat they feel will make them competitivefor a role. Every student tries to show her/his talents, and just by auditioning tellsme how much being in the play meansto them. I want to include as many studentsin a production as I can, and usuallystretch the number of roles.”Once the role selection is made, theprocess of “putting on a play” is fast pacedwith rehearsals after school every Mondaythrough Thursday for one and a halfto two hours. There are some weekendpractices, including the essential technicalrehearsals on the Saturday and Sundaybefore the dress rehearsal that are the firstblending of the cast and the tech crew. Thecast is responsible for learning all of theirown lines and their cues from other actors’lines. If there is music, dancing or singingin the play, the actors must also learn allthe lyrics and choreography.Technology Coordinator, Ms. Ann Wayburnand Associate Technology Coordinator,Mr. Robert Gatton have assembled awonderful “Tech Team” comprised of fifththrough eighth graders that run lights,sound, and help on-stage. The tech crewis an integral part of our productions.Page 9The Cast of “It’s a Bird, It’s a Plane,It’s Nerdman” included: Caroline Adam,Michael Erpenbach, William Ewell,Christian Gash, Ashley Gensheimer,Parker Gensheimer, Natalie Hatfield,Charlie Higdon, Frances Higdon, AllieMcLaughlin, Angeline Morris, BenMosrie, Ritchie Mrozik, Bailey Poteet,Sienna Prater, Alex Robinson, HaydenWhite.The Cast of Pollyanna included: CamilleBaker, Abby Blevins, MadelynCollins, Victoria Crawford, MichaelErpenbach, William Ewell, ChristianGash, Ashley Gensheimer, Parker Gensheimer,Natalie Hatfield, Erica Heilbronn,Charlie Higdon, Frances Higdon,Krissy Holvey, Elise Klug, NicoleLarsen, Helen Martin, Angeline Morris,Bailey Poteet, Dakota Raines, Alex Robinson,Sienna Prater, Tabitha Smalley,Katie Templeton, Hayden White.The cast and crew of all the plays alwayswish to thank our parents who get us topractices, provide treats at practice, getour costumes, and love us. -Libby TalleyEditor’s Note: The spring play, “Pollyanna”was Director Libby Talley’s twentieth productionat SHCS!

Some students evenwrite and share what’s goingon in their lives!” A coupleof memories that jump outat Kelly was the time she sat down in thelunch room at the boys table. One of theboys exclaimed to the other boys, “It’s okayguys, she’s one of the good ones!” Anothertime, a student prayed for her out loudin the classroom saying, “May she use herpowers for good!” Other favorite thingsare “directing the skits at GrandparentsDay, the students singing with me as I playguitar at mass, or for Catholic Schools Weekcelebrations!” Kelly is also instrumentalin the planning and organization of theannual 3rd Grade Classtrip where the studentsand teachers stay 3days and 2 nights atthe environmentaleducation program atCamp Wesley Woods inTownsend, Tennessee.Kelly believes in theimportance of Catholiceducation.
