Head of School Report
Sacred Heart Community,
2011 “Lifers”
Thank you for the gift you have given to the children
of the Sacred Heart this year. Faithful to the vision of
St. Madeleine Sophie and our call from God, we gather
together to create a community of distinction—where
miracles are commonplace and the extraordinary is the
expectation. Our children depend on the leadership,
generosity and belief of the adult community to give
them the gift that only Sacred Heart education can
bring.
Tuition dollars provide education for our children
of the Sacred Heart from the first day of classes until
the end of March. Your generosity to Annual Giving,
the Benefit, and memorial and remembrance funds
provides the education for the balance of the year and
provides for all outside activities, events and those
very special days of making memories the Sacred
Heart way. We build relationships, connections, foster
wisdom, encourage creativity and nourish the leaders of
conscience who will direct our future. Your generosity
makes it possible.
Judith Hehs, Chloe Seaman, Rebecca Bazinski,
Kathryn Mezwa, Christina Bacon, Bridget Bearss, RSCJ,
Mackenzie Violassi, Kameron Habucke, Allison Leiser,
Rebecca Stattler, Elizabeth Wiltsie’00
This edition of the Annual Report gives evidence to the
difference you have made in the lives of the children of the Sacred Heart. From our commitment to play with
our very youngest infants to our commitment to excellence for our graduates of the Upper School and Kensington
Hall, your investment yields results that cannot be calculated in the confines of a balance sheet. Thank you for
being the invisible army of angels that makes this mission possible.
My very special thanks to the “herd of heart-givers” who transformed our “Window to the World” to give us a
view of wild hope and wild hearts. Thank you to Gwen and Doug North, chairs of the “Wild at Heart” Benefit
event, and the hundreds of volunteers who gave form to their vision. Your generosity opened a new chapter for
our children and our mission and I am deeply grateful. Thank you!
I extend my personal thanks to my partners in mission, the Board of Trustees, who have stood with me in these
years of economic challenge and continue to guide our mission with tremendous leadership, extraordinary
generosity and humble confidence in the Sacred Heart of Jesus. I am personally indebted to Natalie Forte,
who has led the charge in opening our hearts to a new way of thinking about each one’s personal contribution
and commitment to this extraordinary community. As Vice-chair of the Board, Natalie has led with inspiring
fortitude and continues to invite others to do what she and Chris have done to ensure the longevity of our fiscal
sustainability. Thank you, Natalie and Chris!
Please pray with me in gratitude for each one whose name appears on these pages and those who have
intentionally chosen to forego recognition of any kind, but whose generosity has been the foundation of our new
beginning. The Religious of the Sacred Heart pray in deep gratitude for each family who entrusts us with your
investment in our mission. We count on your commitment as we pledge our own.
With gratitude for your generosity,
Bridget Bearss, RSCJ

Robert E. Forrest,
Chair, Board of Trustees
The Academy of the Sacred Heart is a
treasured place where our children are able to
grow intellectually, spiritually and personally in
an atmosphere where they are protected but not
removed from the buffeting forces of our larger
society. The year just concluded continued to offer
new challenges to independent school education.
Changing demographics and capital challenges
remain, but the spirit in the State of Michigan and in
our local communities has a new bounce of optimism
– a much welcomed change from years past. Combine
that with the hard work, tenacity and foresight of
all in the administration and the commitment and
dedication of our faculty, the Academy of the Sacred
Heart was able to meet its challenges head on and
have a very productive year.
Special thanks to Doug and Gwen North who successfully chaired the
Benefit. Thanks to Rob and Hillary Bradley and Hans-Werner and Anke Kaas for
chairing our renowned Leaders of Conscience Speaker Series, now in its fourth
year. Both events were hallmarks as we celebrated the Academy’s 160th year
as the oldest and premier independent educational institution in the State of
Michigan. Thanks to all who worked so hard to make a difference in the lives of
each child. The Board of Trustees wishes to thank Sister Bridget Bearss, the faculty,
administration and staff, parents, grandparents, alumnae and alumni and friends of
the Academy who all contributed to giving our children the gift of a Sacred Heart
education.
Thank you for your service and continued generosity. 2010-2011 ~ Annual Report

2010-2011 ~ Annual Report
ABCs of Giving
At the Academy of the Sacred Heart, we are committed to continuous
growth in our educational mission. This commitment requires a
community effort in many ways, including fundraising. In fact, tuition
covers only 85% of our operating expenses, representing a difference
of approximately $2,200 between the price of tuition and the cost of
educating each child.
In order to meet our operating budget and to expand the services we
offer to our children, we must fundraise. We conduct a variety of
fundraising activities and events, which can be summarized by ABC,
or Annual Giving, Benefit and Capital Campaigns.
In short, Annual Giving and the Benefit occur each year, and support
the school’s operating budget, making up the difference between
tuition income and the cost of educating a child. Capital campaigns
occur as needed to focus on a major project, such as building a new
facility, renovating current facilities, reducing debt/bond structures or
increasing the endowment.
Annual Giving
The Annual Giving helps us to subsidize the rising costs of an
Upper School
independent school education. All constituencies are asked to
contribute, and every gift makes a difference. The largest gift any single donor has contributed is $25,000, and the
smallest gift is $1. We ask everyone to give to the best of their abilities, and hope that the Academy of the Sacred
Heart is a philanthropic priority.
All gifts to the Annual Giving are 100% tax deductible (please consult your tax advisor for clarification).
Benefit
Each year, the Academy of the Sacred Heart hosts Benefit Auction fundraising events. Proceeds from these events go
directly into the operating budget.
The Patron Party/Main Event is held in the spring, generally in March. This is usually a formal occasion with a seated
dinner and a large live auction. Other exciting activities have included raffles, Teacher Wish List items available for
underwriting, student gifts and bidding for super silent auction items.
Capital Campaign
A capital campaign is a method of fundraising that allows us to build our assets to resolve needs that cannot be
addressed through annual fundraising. By conducting a capital campaign, we can raise a significant amount of
money over a limited time period for those special projects which will contribute to our long-term growth. Whether
for new construction, renovation, reduction of debt or an increased endowment, capital campaigns allow us to
advance our Strategic Plan and further the mission of the Academy of the Sacred Heart.

above exceeded $2,500 in 2010-2011. Please join us in thanking them for their dedicated
commitment, in so many ways, to the mission of Sacred Heart education.

Friends of
Jefferson Avenue
With courage, confidence
and commitment, we recall
those whose founding
vision made the Academy
of the Sacred Heart the first
independent school in the
State of Michigan. Located
approximately where the
Renaissance Center now
stands, the Academy of the
Sacred Heart on Jefferson
Avenue was a beacon of
hope and possibility for
the growing city of Detroit.
Like those who lit the torch
in the past, we recognize
those donors who light the
way for the future.

Annual Giving Heart
Heart
“Heart to Heart” was established to provide dollars for a Sacred Heart education for the children of alumnae while
continuing the legacy of Sacred Heart education. These dollars will be used to provide scholarships for the children in
need and to provide those additional needs so important to our mission, like Project Term, class rings and the costs of
graduation. Thank you for giving hope to our children.

Leadership and Parent Volunteers
When Madeleine Sophie Barat founded the Society of the Sacred Heart in 1800, she immediately described generosity as
the characteristic of our spirit and mission. The service of our parent volunteers in every aspect of the school community
makes our shared commitment possible. As the words of Sophie Barat above our statue on the ground floor reads, “Your
actions, much more than your words will be an eloquent message to the world.” Thank you ...for being the eloquent
message to the world... of hearts and hands united in generous service for the sake of our children. We honor those
named for their service and those who have served without recognition or our knowledge in the hundreds of ways that
parents make the mission of the Academy of the Sacred Heart possible.

Capital Campaign
Living Our Legacy
Efforts spanned the entire 2010-2011 school year to continue to address the costs related to the Living Our
Legacy Capital Campaign. Revised and updated campaign literature was shared with the entire Sacred
Heart Family. The Board of Trustees, inspired by the Major Gifts Committee, conducted several miniphone-a-thons to the current parent population that were followed by individual appointments with
Bridget Bearss, RSCJ. Parents of Graduates as well as, Alumnae/i were invited to several receptions
that also carried the campaign message: “like those who have gone before us, we need to continue to
provide our students with the facilities, educators and community where they learn the power of choice
and the expectation of hope that we have for them.” It is with grateful hearts that we thank both those
who are new donors to the Living Our Legacy Capital Campaign and those who have continued to meet their
pledge commitment.

Endowment Funds
The Academy’s annual and ongoing expenses are largely met by tuition, Annual Giving and the proceeds
of the Benefit, but the school’s future depends on our endowments. An endowment is a permanent fund
from which a portion is spent to meet annual needs. Designated for use by the Board of Trustees, these
gifts ensure the longevity of the Academy of the Sacred Heart.

2011 Wansboro Award
Faithful to the spirit of Katherine Wansboro, RSCJ, the
alumnae and alumni of the Academy of the Sacred Heart
present the 2011 Wansboro Award to one who has cared
for this “House Built on Confidence.” Surrounded by
the attitudes of the heart of Jesus, we honor Matthew
P. Colonius with this award recognizing integrity, faith,
service, excellence and commitment.
Matthew P. Colonius and “best friend.”
The Society of the Sacred Heart was founded by
St. Madeleine Sophie Barat in a spirit of prayer, fidelity,
generosity and the service of education. Sophie Barat
insisted that the care of each soul should be reflected
in the equal care given to the house where learning
happens and the grounds that allow the Spirit of God to
unfold. She wrote, “Let the small details of the house, the
love given to all things seen and touched by the children,
the order and care given to each room for instruction, be
given the greatest importance as the love given to these
things will be the instruments of God’s presence in the
lives of the pupils.”
Nothing could more perfectly describe the vocation of Matthew P. Colonius. There once was
a young man of 19 who arrived for a temporary position on his way to dreams of a horticulture
business and financial prosperity. God had other things in mind. Formed in the shadow of those
whose labor built this building and planted the saplings that now give shade to our students, Matt
learned his craft from the best. Paul Roy and Mary Polizzi, RSCJ made Matt their special project and
protégée. Praying that God would lead Matt back after his studies, the Religious of the Sacred Heart
rejoiced when Matt and his family joined them by making this property their home, and celebrated
each milestone in the life of his son, Christopher.
From renovation to restoration to renewal to rebirth, the life of the Academy of the Sacred Heart has
been shaped by the life of Matthew Colonius. Like the conductor of a symphony, Matt keeps all the
instruments tuned and creates music for the heart in his care for this house of faith, hope and love.
From snow plows to lawn mowers to bricks, cement and thousands of rolls of paper towels, Matt has
built the kingdom of God by making love visible in every season and over more than 30 years of a
life given in love.
The entire Sacred Heart family salutes our colleague, friend, leader and brother for the gift of the
heart that makes visible the heart of Jesus. Congratulations to Matthew Colonius on a life given in
service of others, whose impact can never be measured.

2011 Alumnae Community Service Award
Since her freshman year, Asia Bond has been
recognized for her positive energy, clear
leadership ability and charitable spirit. She
is a leader of our school’s outreach to Focus:
HOPE, an organization which helps the hungry
of Oakland County, and Our World Your World,
an organization which focuses on issues of
civil rights, social justice and equality. Asia has
accumulated over 200 hours of community service
by working at Beaumont Hospital, volunteering
for a muscular-dystrophy telethon, assisting at
an inner-city day care in Pontiac, Michigan and
serving every summer at Camp Midicha. This
is a camp for those who suffer from diabetes, a
Alexis Krot Trojanowski’96, President of
the Alumnae/Alumni Association and
Asia Bond’11
disease from which Asia also suffers. This past
summer she became a Counselor in Training and so spent an extra week at the
camp. She also shares her talents with the children enrolled in the Academy’s After
School Learning Center. From June 2010 through May 2011, Asia gave 1,352 hours of
service! This year her Upper School Community Service was at Lighthouse PATH
where she worked with young children. Asia donates her time, money, energy and
soul to helping others who have not been as blessed as she.
The Alumnae and Alumni Association of Bloomfield Hills is pleased and honored to
present the 2011 Community Service Award to Asia Bond.
