Onward We Go

Sacred Heart Academy’s academic year did not end the way we planned, especially for the Class of 2020.

These strong women of great faith rose to the occasion, warmed our hearts, inspired us and each other, and showed true compassion and resilience. We still hope to honor them with a live graduation ceremony this fall but brought them on campus on what would have been Graduation Day, May 17, 2020 and made sure they each received the traditional dozen red roses. We know this class will go on to accomplish amazing things.

Congratulations Class of 2020!

Forever Valkyries TRULY STRONG WOMEN OF GREAT FAITH

Nothing about 2020 was business as usual! When schools were ordered closed on March 16, 2020, no Valkyries felt the loss more than our Class of 2020.

Time-honored traditions had to be reimagined and SHA knew these strong women of great faith needed to be celebrated! Through yard signs, special deliveries, parades and zoom calls, we hope each member of the Class of 2020 felt part of the heart as we stayed ‘together in heart.’

Saying her final goodbyes, senior Erin Toller smiles as she sees her teachers one last time at the drive-by graduation. “My experience at SHA was the best ever,” Toller said. “I would not trade this experience for anything in the world. Thank you SHA!”

The Tale of the Valkyries

By April Dong ‘20

April Dong was the founder and president of West Meets East, a member of the Diversity Leadership Team, KYA chair of the Y Club, and Secretary of the Engineering Club. She will be attending Princeton University with plans to become an environmental engineer.

Once upon a time in a far-off land in the city of Louisville, KY, there was a campus with an L-shaped, red-bricked building bearing the symbol of a heart with a cross. Within the walls of this building, there lies a community of young women with dreams for the future, preparing to battle the obstacles that would hinder them from achieving such dreams, and becoming active citizens in the global community. This building is Sacred Heart Academy.

Alongside these young women are teachers who not only instruct them but mentor and befriend them. Their enthusiasm for the subject they teach is contagious and leaves students eager to listen, learn, and discuss. While one classroom on the first floor studies the structure of the human heart, another on the second floor explores the effects of Apartheid on relationships in Athol Fugard’s “Master Harold…and the Boys”, and one on the third floor has students spinning beautiful works of pottery. All three floors and every single classroom possesses a teacher who is dedicated to shaping their students to become independent, open-minded thinkers.

At school outside of the classroom, these young women divulge in diverse opportunities that enable them to further develop their interests and to discover their passions. Vickie Valkyrie tears up the track field, Susie Sacred Heart sings her heart out on the stage in the theatre, and Ursula Ursuline builds robots for an upcoming robotics competition. These extracurriculars are more than just any fun activity, they instill skills and further shape well-rounded students.

community, especially through service. While there may not be fiery dragons in need of slaying or evil sorceresses to defeat, the Sacred Heart Academy community recognizes there are monsters—like hunger—that terrorize the streets of Louisville, negatively impacting the community. The students set out to help others and to battle such injustices while acquiring life skills, understanding the importance of being active members in society, and growing their compassion for others. Sacred Heart Academy does not simply produce students who can robotically solve math formulas or memorize Spanish verb conjugations but SHA develops young women with caring hearts willing to use their talents for the greater good.

Further, the global community also experiences the impacts made by these young women. The International Baccalaureate Programme offered at Sacred Heart broadens students' horizons by presenting global issues and analyzing them from varying lenses. Consequently, students are globally-minded and carry service across the lands and seas to impact communities around the world. While some students embark on mission trips, others initiate fundraisers for global non-profit organizations such as the African Library Project and Operation Smile.

After four years of studying in the classroom, participating in school extracurriculars, volunteering in the local community, and serving the global community, these young women leave with the skills and knowledge they have acquired as their weapons; ready to take on the world and battle their way to bettering the community and becoming leaders as strong women of great faith—Valkyries.

However, these young women are not bound to the campus and are encouraged to share their gifts with the local

The Glue

By Claire Elder ‘20 Claire was a member of the Student Council, A Capella Choir, and SHSA theater program. She plans to attend the University of South Carolina and study education.

When you picture the current Sacred Heart Academy student, the image of a well-rounded, involved, motivated teenager comes to mind. This is someone who plays a sport, takes challenging academic courses, sings in the choir, does service on the weekend, and is involved in student leadership that meets before the first bell of the school day even rings. Naturally, when you picture this modern high school student, it can seem as if their lives are all over the place as they jump from activity to activity, so what is it that truly unites these students in one common bond? This is where group assignments, school masses, and service hours, just to name a few examples, all have one thing in common: the environment they foster where lifelong friendships are made.

The moment a teacher announces a group project where the partners will be assigned, the inevitable sense of slight dread sets in. “Will the partners get along?” and “will everyone do their fair share of work?” are often thoughts running through students’ minds at this time. And while people may face new challenges with a sense of apprehension and nervousness, these unexpected changes may actually bring about a much-needed rearrangement. If it were not for a class of seven students who were ready to be intellectually challenged and one teacher who could see the potential in all of them, seven strangers would never have worked as team, laughed to the point of tears, shared personal stories, and grown together as a unit like they did. The combination of a group who formerly would never have chosen to work together produced a team of girls who could trust, inspire, and support each other in and out of the classroom.

In a gymnasium full of girls singing along softly to the hymns of the school mass, it is clear someone has found a friend when both students can sing out in their full voices without

wondering if one of them is off pitch or in a completely different key. And while singing at mass may seem like a trivial activity to bond over, it is one that leaves a longer-standing impression than expected. In going to a Catholic school, it is easy to find other students who share an interest in their faith and religion. This commonality unites students in a way that goes beyond what grade school they went to, what neighborhood they live in, or what table they sit at in the cafeteria. Finding people who value their moral character and put compassion first leaves room in a friendship for nothing but authenticity, loyalty, and respect.

Lastly, in a world where students’ lives are so fast-paced and never seem to slow down, the service engagements high schoolers get to experience allow for a vital pause in the daily chaos. The time students spend leading exercise classes in retirement homes, planting trees around the city, or running Special Olympics tournaments results in more than just a signature on a service hour sheet. This is time where students use their own talents to bond with others around them, whether that is people they are serving or those with which they are doing the service. Sacred Heart pushes students to seek out service organizations that will inspire them, challenge them, and most importantly, teach them to love and appreciate others. Finding a friendship in someone who also does service guarantees a relationship where responsibility, patience, and kindness are always present.

Amongst the busy days and long nights that entail being a high school student, there is one unchanging factor that unites students together and makes the difficult homework or extra practices worth it in the end: the friendships made at Sacred Heart Academy that will last long after students walk through those halls for the very last time.

What Makes a Valkyrie?

By Maddie Stokes ‘20

Maddie was the Vice President of the National English Honor Society, a Student Council and Student Advisory Board Representative, and a member of Student Y at Sacred Heart. She will be attending the University of Virginia as a Jefferson Scholar next fall.

Horned helmet, navy skirt, cross-embedded heart.

What makes a Valkyrie?

From the top, it is difficult to miss the studded, feathered, red and blue horns of her helmet, bobbing up and down as she shouts in praise of her teammates at what is just the latest in a slew of state championships. Indeed, it is these unmistakable horns that identify her in a crowd, a living symbol of her effervescent school pride and unparalleled support of her classmates, teammates, and friends. This is the Valkyrie head.

Digging deeper, it doesn’t take long to realize that her mind radiates with this same passion. From day one of her time at Sacred Heart, she is driven to think beyond the covers of a textbook and delve into the realms of her own curiosity, in one moment debating the legacy of redlining in her community and in the next designing her own mathematical models to evaluate contemporary claims about immigration. Supported by a learning environment that pushes her to independent discovery, her academic exploration fuels a passion for innovation and originality. This is the Valkyrie mind.

Nevertheless, her learning doesn’t stop where academia does. No, after the last bell of the day rings, her free time is

consumed by efforts to mold the world she can only imagine.

From hosting a podcast in SHA’s Innovation Space to designing legislation with Student Y, choreographing her own musical production to producing stand-up poetry on the state of race relations in America, her penchant for creativity is fueled by a desire for change. This is her life outside of the classroom, her passion, and her focus. This is the Valkyrie heart.

Beyond what can be seen, however, she is animated by some underlying current of vibrancy that distinguishes her among the many. From the homes of Kermit, West Virginia to the walls of a local ESL classroom, her actions pulse with a radiant devotion to service and solidarity that transcends both literal and metaphorical boundaries. Guided by this devotion, she treks a path from Peru to Thailand and from the walls of Sacred Heart to the maledominated offices of Aston Martin The Americas, all the while leaving a spark of vibrancy in her wake. This is the Valkyrie spirit.

Head, mind, heart, and spirit. What makes a Valkyrie?

Her helmet, a symbol of her pride for her school and herself.

Her mind, a vessel for exploration and innovation. Her heart, a stimulus for change. Her spirit, a beacon of radiance.

Collectively, this is a Valkyrie: a strong woman of great faith.

SHA DOESN’T MISS A BEAT!

In late March 2020, Kentucky schools, like so many across the country, were ordered closed. SHA faculty and staff learned that school would close on Friday March 13, that teachers would need to be trained on Monday, and online school would begin that Wednesday. In three days, our administrators and IT specialists selected a video meeting platform, configured and tested it, and developed faculty training. They created policies that would allow both teachers and students to be successful in a digital landscape and found ways to utilize the technology we already possessed to stay connected and keep our community strong.

Technology Coordinator and Physics teacher, Daniel McGeeney was integral in this quick pivot to digital learning. Looking back on that time, McGeeney says, “At the faculty training, I will never forget how focused our teachers were. We were in the midst of a pandemic – filled with uncertainty – and yet teachers were diving into the technology, proposing ideas, asking questions, and helping each other. The drive and dedication the faculty showed was really inspiring to me.”

One only had to keep tabs on SHA’s social media to see how hard administrators, faculty and students were working to ‘stay together in heart.’

In addition to interacting with classmates and teachers via Microsoft Teams videoconferencing every day, our Valkyrie community stayed connected in many creative ways. Teachers delivered yard signs to seniors, principals recorded heartwarming video messages for students, choirs collaborated for mashups of SHA favorites, clubs hosted trivia nights and virtual meetings and athletic teams met digitally to motivate and encourage one another.

The ease with which our faculty and staff spun to a digital landscape, found creative ways to keep students engaged and learning at a high level, and maintained the feeling of community that is vital to all Valkyries, was truly astounding. SHA was prepared for a style of learning no one had yet even imagined – with the technology and resources already in place to teach 800 students remotely in a matter of days. While digital learning is not at all the preferred method, we are so proud of our administration, faculty, staff, students and parents for making it so successful at SHA. We know now that whatever comes our way, we will remain Together in Heart.

Loving you so,

ONWARD WE GO.

Dr. Cynthia R. Crabtree This year marked the retirement of president of Sacred Heart Schools, Dr. Cynthia R. Crabtree.

We have been truly blessed by Dr. Crabtree’s dynamic and visionary leadership for 17 wonderful years. Her vision for the future of Sacred Heart Schools and ability to anticipate and plan for change, and her unwavering commitment to Catholic identity and the Ursuline Core Values has placed SHS in a position of strength. While so very much has evolved and improved, the spirit of St. Angela Merici, our foundress, and the Ursuline Sisters of Louisville, our sponsors, lives on in the hearts of all who learn, teach and work at SHS, and most especially in the heart of Dr. Cynthia R. Crabtree.

Mary Lee McCoy As the academic year came to a close, it came time to say good-bye and thank you to Mrs. Mary Lee McCoy, Principal of SHA. Mary Lee devoted the last eight years of her career in education to SHA and over 30 years of service to the Louisville Catholic community. She left an indelible mark on all those she taught and led, and will be greatly missed.

Sheila Huff Finally, we say goodbye and thank you to Sheila Huff who also retired this summer. Sheila has served SHA for over 40 years. She has held numerous positions at SHA from art teacher to librarian, digital design instructor to technology director, to her final role as Assistant Principal, Dean of Administrative Services. Sheila has left a legacy in her over 40 years of service to the students at SHA, and her lifetime career as an educator, right here on the Ursuline Campus, is to be commended.

Cindy, Mary Lee and Sheila have influenced thousands of students and colleagues in their devotion to Catholic education. We wish them all a well-deserved retirement.

BECOMING PART OF

the Heart

“It is a true blessing to be here at Sacred Heart Schools and to walk in the footsteps of Saint Angela Merici.”

-Dr. Karen McNay, President, Sacred Heart Schools

SUMMER 2020 HeartBeat

13

Dr. Karen McNay is in the midst of her first 90 days as the new president of Sacred Heart Schools. Prior to being appointed as the SHS president, Dr. McNay led the Ursuline Academy of New Orleans, a member of the Ursuline Education Network. As a life-long learner, a teacher and a former principal of Christ the King Catholic School in Lexington, Kentucky, Dr. McNay brings more than two decades of education and leadership experience to Sacred Heart Schools. Born and raised in Elizabethtown, Dr. McNay is overjoyed to be home in Kentucky with her daughter Emily. She grew up on her parents’ farm where her two sons, Max and Zack carry on the family business today.

It was no small task to take the helm of Sacred Heart Schools and its four highly respected academic institutions during a global pandemic, a time of social unrest and calls for racial justice, and a strained economy all affecting our community. But Dr. McNay hit the ground running on July 1. She has already learned much from our Sacred Heart community and will continue to listen and reflect in order to develop a concrete plan to move SHS forward.

During the remainder of Dr. McNay’s first 90 days on campus, she will continue to meet with various constituent groups, virtually and in-person when it can be accomplished safely with social distancing.

1 Healthy at Heart: the successful and healthy reopening of all four schools

Key Priorities Through her conversations, Dr. McNay has focused on several key priorities and sought further understanding in order formulate her plan for the remainder of this year and determine the direction of Sacred Heart Schools.

14

HeartBeat SHSLOU.ORG

• Dr. McNay immediately joined the SHS Reopening Task Force, taking decisive action during a time of great uncertainty for schools. This campus-wide task force, together with one from each respective school have formulated a comprehensive plan to return to school while placing utmost importance on the safety of our students, faculty and staff.

• SHS dedicated an additional $550,000 to cleaning protocols, tools, supplies and manpower and over $100,000 in additional technology to ensure Sacred Heart Schools remains a leader in digital learning in our community, and Dr. McNay will ensure that we continue to have the resources necessary to remain Healthy at Heart. Every stone has been turned; every scenario considered. The academic, spiritual and emotional experience of every student at Sacred Heart Schools has been reimagined to promote health and success in the new normal of Covid-19.

2 The creation and execution of an intentional and accountable Strategic Plan for the next five years •D r. McNay has expressed her joy in the ability to be in place at the beginning of the strategic planning process. This process is a cornerstone of constructing an effective, productive and innovative blueprint for the future of Sacred Heart Schools. Dr. McNay will play a vital role in imagining where Sacred Heart Schools will be in 2026 and looks forward to garnering feedback from and working with all our constituents throughout the planning process.

3

An enhanced and accountable campus culture of diversity and inclusion • Each year, as a campus we focus intently on one of our Ursuline Core Values. This year, quite fittingly, that value is Reverence.

Dr. McNay believes that Reverence, with its meaning of a deep and profound respect for all others, relates beautifully with the emphasis we as an organization are placing on improving our campus culture of diversity, equity and inclusion.

• In listening and learning from many in our school and local community, Dr. McNay noted the need for and thus immediately formed an internal faculty and staff Diversity Leadership Team and worked with them in identifying five areas of focus for immediate attention:

The continued incorporation of the International Baccalaureate program throughout campus • The heart of an IB education ties directly with the mission of Sacred Heart Schools to inspire diverse learners to become globally minded, compassionate leaders. As one of only seven IB World School Districts in the country, SHS is in a unique position to further the holistic formation of students from age three through nineteen. Dr. McNay believes in the IB educational philosophy and paradigm and looks forward to continuing the IB tradition of excellence at Sacred Heart Schools.

5 A continued strong relationship with and commitment to the Ursuline Sisters • Dr. McNay has great reverence for the Ursuline Sisters and considers it a blessing to walk in the footsteps of Saint Angela Merici. Her every decision and action are formed with the mission of Sacred Heart Schools as a Catholic community rooted in Ursuline tradition in mind. The Ursuline Sisters of Louisville recently elected a new Leadership Council and Dr. McNay welcomes and looks forward to a fruitful and enduring relationship with them and the Sisters they serve.

1. Environment and Culture 2. Curriculum 3. C ultural Competency of Faculty, Staff and Students 4. Student Support 5. Leadership

In addition to joining the Reopening Task Force, Board of Trustees and Diversity Leadership Team meetings, Dr. McNay has already met with a diverse combination of constituent groups. Many of these meetings were virtual due to Covid-19 guidelines, though some were in-person at a safe social distance.

One of Dr. McNay’s first orders of business on day one was to meet with members of SHA’s Black Student Union and recent graduates to discuss the diversity, equity and inclusion efforts and needs at Sacred Heart. She meets regularly with the heads of each of our schools and is slowly getting to know alumnae, parents, grandparents and friends of Sacred Heart. This will continue to be a year of change – positive change – at Sacred Heart Schools.

Join us in welcoming Dr. Karen McNay and her family to our family at Sacred Heart Schools. We hope you have the opportunity to meet with her. You’ll immediately feel how strongly she believes in our mission and the great respect she has for the Charism of our Ursuline Sisters.

HeroesAT HEART

This spring, as people began wearing masks to protect themselves and others from contracting COVID-19, Sacred Heart Academy rising senior Mia Mercer had an idea. She wanted to create reusable masks for the public so that frontline healthcare workers would have access to the medical-grade PPE. Mia already knew how to sew, and decided to use donated nurses’ scrubs, a symbolic and sustainable material, to create CDC-compliant masks for family and friends.

At Sacred Heart we often talk about how an International Baccalaureate education will impact the lives of our students, how they will learn to think critically in the classroom and solve problems outside the classroom, and how they are poised to excel academically but also as leaders once they graduate into an ever-changing world. But sometimes, the promise of an IB education is hard to demonstrate to parents and students in a concrete way. Mia’s inspiring story of Guardian on the Go illustrates how the IB learner profile traits, embedded in a Sacred Heart education, empower our students to make a difference in their classrooms and in their community.

As orders rolled in, Mia created a business plan and website for her new company, named Guardian on the Go, and began selling the masks for $10 each.

Knowledgeable - Mia knew how to sew. But she

All this while continuing her online classes at Sacred Heart during quarantine.

and Mia wondered how the PPE could stay in the

Aware of the financial, physical and emotional struggles facing so many during this uncertain time, Mia created a compassionate business plan. She decided to donate 100% of Guardian on the Go proceeds to organizations supporting frontline workers, at-risk communities, and COVID-19 vaccine development.

Because Mia upcycled the masks from nurses’ scrubs, she was able to keep costs low and increase the amount of money donated. By early June, after only two months in operation, Mia had met her goal to sell 1,000 masks and raise $10,000. Guardian on the Go donated nine dollars from the sale of each $10 mask to groups such as the Kentucky Nurses Association, Louisville Community Relief Fund, Community Foundation of Louisville, Kentucky Nurses Foundation, 10 of Hearts Campaign/Love City, The David School, World Health Organization COVID-19 Response, United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, and UNICEF. After operating her business at breakneck speed during quarantine, while also keeping up with her online studies during spring semester, Mia has suspended mask sales indefinitely so that she can focus on mask donations, particularly to vulnerable groups hit hardest by COVID. All summer, Guardian on the Go has donated masks to schools and churches in Kentucky, helping them prepare to go back to school safely.

As Mia anticipates her return to Sacred Heart for senior year, she has a new outlook on how she can serve during such an unsettling time. "During this pandemic, we've all been exposed to the anxiety that insecurity causes, which is scary, but it can also instill empathy in people who have been privileged in the past and give them a glimpse of what life is like for people who are less fortunate."

was also aware of the larger problems of inequity in her community and the short supplies of medical equipment for frontline workers.

Thinker - While isolated at home during quarantine, Mia wondered how she could put her skills to use.

More and more people were clamoring for masks, hands of the medical professionals? She pondered: How can I contribute?

Communicator - Mia created a business plan, made a website, started an Instagram account, updated her blog, and was interviewed by local TV stations, clearly describing her idea and her ultimate fundraising goals.

Open-Minded/Caring - Guardian on the Go was born of a compassionate point of view to alleviate frontline mask shortages and donate money to organizations dedicated to assisting others. Mia’s use of upcycled scrubs to make the masks was both a sustainable choice and a symbolic gesture in honoring the medical workers she wanted to help. In two months, Mia donated $10,000 to a wide range of worthy organizations.

Risk-Taker - Starting a non-profit in the middle of a pandemic as a high school junior = risk.

Reflective - An underlying principle of Mia’s mission is to engage her peers to be empathetic to those who have suffered during the pandemic while also keeping people safe by wearing masks.

ANN KINCAID BUCHANAN ’89 Back in March, when she learned about overcrowded hospitals and nurse shortages in New York City, then the epicenter of the COVID-19 outbreak, SHA alumna and nurse practitioner Ann Kincaid Buchanan ’89 made an important choice. Furloughed from her position at a private practice in Louisville, she felt called to help her fellow healthcare workers and those suffering from COVID-19. So, Ann moved to New York City for the month of April, serving on the frontlines when the city was seeing up to 10,000 coronavirus patients a day.

Ann worked in the Bellevue Hospital ICU as the virus raged, and although she has been a nurse for almost twenty years, she was rattled by the chaos and uncertainty in the hospital and by the number of sick patients, sometimes tending to two ICU patients forced to share a room. Of course, she also missed her husband and two children, ages 14 and 12, who remained in Louisville.

Despite the stress and sadness, Ann was comforted and humbled by the daily outpouring of love from New Yorkers as they leaned out their apartment windows and cheered, clanging pots and spoons together, to show the frontline workers their gratitude at each 7 p.m. shift change. Ann was grateful to be a connection between isolated patients in the ICU and their worried families at home, often spending extra time with loved ones on the phone; perhaps more understanding of the difficulty of isolation since she was also distanced from her family back in Louisville.

This July, aware that there was another surge of COVID-19 patients in Laredo, Texas, Ann again left Louisville to serve as an ICU RN. She reports that a hotel is being converted into a makeshift hospital to accommodate the overflow of coronavirus patients.

We thank Ann and her family for their sacrifice and spirit, and for showing us how to be a hero at heart.

NATALIE FICHTER ’18 This recent SHA grad and current nursing student at IU Southeast could not have predicted that her college years would resemble the high-stress daily demands of her current job as a frontline healthcare worker during a worldwide pandemic. She began as a patient care assistant at University of Louisville hospital in December, just weeks before the COVID-19 virus turned our world upside down.

But living and learning through this experience has only reinforced her calling to be a nurse; despite the long hours and constant stress, Natalie loves her job and feels even more compelled to help others.

KRYSTA LATHON ’10 ER nurse Krysta Lathon was profiled in a Courier-Journal piece in April.

She recalls her exhaustion from working 12-hour shifts, the emotional toll of working with sick, isolated patients, as well as the general stress of life during a pandemic. However, she remarks: “It’s an honor to be with the COVID-19 patients and provide comfort to them.” We are proud of Krysta’s work ethic and generous spirit.

MEGAN THOMPSON KREASE ‘03 Dr. Krease is a local pediatrician at All Children Pediatrics who has remained dedicated to serving her patients throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.

Changes had to be made in order to keep both patients and staff protected, but her office never closed its doors.

TARA SCARLOTT KAUFFMAN ‘94 As a Nurse Practitioner with Baptist Louisville Cardiology, Tara cared for her patients via telehealth for the first months of the Covid-19 outbreak. In June she returned to the office seeing her patients in person and continues to care for her young son who is suffering from end stage kidney disease and awaiting a match for a living kidney donor.

We know our Sacred Heart community includes so many doctors, nurses, technicians, first responders and other healthcare professionals who are meeting the needs of COVID-19 patients each day. We’d love to hear your stories.

Reunion * Weekend

REUNION 2020 – WE WILL MEET AGAIN! Dear Fellow Alumnae, This past June would have marked the celebration of the SHA classes ending in 0s and 5s on Sacred Heart’s campus for Reunion Weekend 2020. So, while we thought we’d be celebrating our SHA sisterhood that first weekend in June, we were instead listening to daily reports on the coronavirus and its impact, learning of community efforts to slow the spread, where to find testing sites, and of course also witnessing widespread calls for social justice reform and an end to racism across our beloved commonwealth and the nation. Life has taken a most unexpected turn for us all, and we are working to quickly adapt to our new normal.

I am encouraged that many individuals have prioritized the safety and health of those we know and love, as well as strangers we pass every day on the street. Before “the virus”, we may not have even considered those strangers but for that momentary passing. I think we are beginning to awaken to the connectedness of our human race, and the critical need to put ourselves before others and serve one another, as we are called to do. My hope is that we continue to experience a greater awareness of our universal connectedness and stay focused on supporting the needs of others.

Our SHA alumnae who were scheduled to celebrate their reunions this year proved their willingness to support and celebrate each other and our students at SHA, in a few ways. From our volunteer reunion class planners who worked diligently to come up with fun, affordable class parties and who kindly supported our alumnae office in countless ways during planning; to the incredible generosity of alumnae around the country from each of those classes, who increased reunion giving this year to Sacred Heart Academy’s Annual Fund. THANK YOU. Despite the challenges in our communities, you gave from your heart to support the mission of educating all young women in Louisville who want to attend dear Sacred Heart, and we are forever grateful.

In addition to feeling extreme gratitude for our always generous alumnae, I am encouraged and determined to find new ways of connecting our reunion classes ending in 0, 1, 5 and 6 in 2021.

While things may look different than reunion weekends of the past, the alumnae office’s mission of fostering and nurturing the connections that bind us as Valkyries remains ever-present and I am excited for what the future holds. I welcome your suggestions for ways that we can stay connected in these “distant” times and look forward to gathering safely with you all, very soon. Save the date for Reunion Weekend 2021, June 4-6, and be on the lookout for additional details.

Together in heart, Megan Brumleve Theisen, Class of 1995 SHA Alumnae Director

Restoring the Heart By the time you read this, renovation of the historic Ursuline campus Motherhouse will be at or nearing completion. For more than 100 years, the Motherhouse has been an integral piece of Ursuline history and the restoration that has taken place over the last year ensures that it will remain so.

The Office of Administrative Services, who moved into newly remodeled offices on the second and third floors of the Motherhouse this summer, are thrilled to share the building with the leadership of the Ursuline Sisters and continue to build on the long-standing relationship that propagated the growth of Sacred Heart Schools to a position of strength in Catholic education.

The final piece of this restorative project is a brand-new handicap accessible front entrance on the east side of the building. This single-entry point brings visitors into the Motherhouse on the first floor, adjacent to the offices of our new president, Dr. Karen McNay. While we remain in uncertain times which call for social distancing and limitations on visitors, we so hope in the near future that our alumnae, parents and friends of Sacred Heart Schools can visit the Motherhouse and see the beautiful restoration of this sacred building.

On August 5th, 2020, the SHA Alumnae Board planned to host our annual Revive the Ties event, celebrating our current students and the women in their families who have attended an Ursuline school in Louisville – Sacred Heart Academy, Ursuline Academy and Angela Merici High School.

In compliance with the current recommendations to reduce the spread of Covid-19, we couldn't gather together as planned, but we are encouraged by and proud of the enduring legacy of an Ursuline education in our community.

In the coming weeks, we will share with our legacy families, a listing of all of the ties that bind our current students to so many special women in their lives. We thank you for making an Ursuline education a priority in the lives of these young women and we look forward to being with you soon.

We recently heard from SHA alumnae and beloved former teacher at Sacred Heart Model School, Sarah “Sally” Baker Rothenburger ’57. Sally taught at SHMS for 38 years, sent her three daughters – Kristi, Sharon and Rebecca – to our campus schools, she served as a class rep for the ’57 class, and served as the VP of the SHMS Alumni Board for many years. Sally shared the names of the many women in her family who graduated from Sacred Heart Academy, and they are featured in these photos.

a REUNITING Ring We are thrilled to share that alumna, Mae Alice Hawkins Salkeld, SHA class of 1948, was reunited with her SHA class ring this summer, after having lost it over 70 years ago.

The SHA Alumnae Office was contacted by a local Louisville woman, after her brother and a friend found the ring while doing yardwork at the home of his mother, who had lived in the house since 1968. One key detail that the finder shared were that the initials “M.A.H.” were engraved on the inside of the ring. That led SHA’s Alumnae Director, Megan Brumleve Theisen, to quickly match the ring with alumna Mae Alice Hawkins.

After Megan identified Mae Alice’s married name as “Salkeld” the search for her began! Thanks to the help of the internet, Megan easily found that Mae was living in Louisville with her adult son, Tim. A call to Tim and Mae was made, and indeed, Mae said that she had lost the ring shortly after graduating from SHA, sometime in 1949, she suspected.

Mae had long given up hope that her beloved SHA class ring would ever be found. Upon marrying her husband Melvin, the couple moved to Cleveland, then onto Wisconsin. They raised four children and returned to Louisville many years later, when Melvin's sister became ill and they wanted to be closer to family. Fortunately, their son Tim had also returned to Louisville; we are grateful that he did, so we could meet him and his mother, and return her ring to her. Mae will be 90 in November of this year.

We learned that while attending SHA, Mae lived in the house where the ring was found in the backyard. The ring was found near a rose bush of all places, all these years later. It is even more interesting (or perhaps, divine?) to consider that the rose bush was transplanted from another home to the one where the ring was found, years after Mae lived there. Two symbols of an Ursuline education – the rose and the ring - lying side by side, until someone decided that the rose bush deserved some TLC and weeded the area around the bush, discovering the ring.

The homeowner’s son kindly cleaned the ring – restoring it to its original luster – and placed it in a special box for Mae. Her joy at being reunited with her class ring was evident, and she shared how happy her memories were of attending Sacred Heart Academy in the post-World War II era. Mae is healthy and happy here in Louisville, and looks forward to reconnecting with some of her ’48 classmates. She plans to wear her ring on a lovely gold chain that she has at home.

In this time of great change and uncertainty in our society, Mae’s story is a reminder to be inspired and encouraged by even the smallest acts of kindness. Try to stay focused on the goodness inside all of us, and all around us. While focus and action is necessary now – and always – to improve the lives of so many throughout our communities and our world, it is the little gestures of love, kindness and peace that add up to overcome the darkness.
