Sacred Heart Catholic School
Sacred Heart Catholic School is in the process of applying for its 18th year of accreditation. We file annually. This means that we must prove our excellence through reporting and documentation each year. There are 12 categories of standards including school climate, leadership, resources, standards and assessment, instructional media and technology, and religious identity, among others. Within those 12 categories there are 118 standards we must meet. Every six years we complete a more in-depth self-study and every seven years we host a site visit for a visiting accreditation team. We have a five-year long-range plan with goals for each year. The Board of Total Catholic Education works with the school staff to meet the goals we’ve set for ourselves.
We still have three new student grants available. Catholic families can enroll for as little as $750. For information, contact the school at 715-526-5328 or principal@shcscardinals.org for more information.

Olga Brener Intermediate School
This past April, Olga Brener Intermediate School participated in Relay Recess, an American Cancer Society awareness and fundraising program for students.
Through this program, students had the opportunity to participate in wellness-based school activities and themed spirit days, as well as purchase items or donate money to help fund the fight against cancer. These weeklong activities took place during the students’ physical education classes.
Olga Brener students had the opportunity to participate in educational and fun relay races that educated students on the four main ways to reduce the risk of cancer: sun protection, healthy eating, tobacco prevention and daily exercise. Students then signed a pledge to promise to live out one of the four cancer prevention methods.
One day during the Relay Recess week, each class also participated in a bead walk-a-thon. For every lap each student ran or walked, the student moved a bead to his/her class bucket. Classes were motivated to set a class goal. At the end of every 30-minute walk/run period, the beads were totaled. After the entire school participated in the walk-a-thon, the laps were converted to miles. At the end of the week students had raised over $400 and walked 719 miles to help support a future with less cancer and more birthdays.
