So Many Reasons
To Be Thankful

Dear “Sisters”,
Vice President
Secretary
Thank you, Jesus!
Tara Kremer ‘89
I say that often, and I say it with true feeling. I thank Jesus often for all that He has
given me throughout my life, including
the opportunity to work on the beautiful
Ursuline Campus as alumnae director for my
beloved Sacred Heart Academy. I am blessed
and I am thankful! Here are just a few reasons why this year alone I’ve thanked Jesus:
• The nearly $23 million in scholarships
offered to the Class of 2014
Alice Cowley ‘02
Class Rep Assignments
Nannette Mershon ‘67
• The four state titles in golf, swimming, lacrosse and tennis
• Witnessing the seamless integration of iPads and other technology
into today’s classroom
• A healthy enrollment of nearly 850 girls
• Witnessing our students demonstrate their love of their adored
teacher, Alvin Guenthner, by raising money for student financial aid in
his memory
• Students, faculty and parents who traveled to Appalachia and far off
countries to serve those less fortunate
• Our choir traveling to Salzburg, Vienna and Prague for a nine-day
singing tour, including the “Mozart! Choir Festival”
• SHA alumnae in the press for college, military and professional
accomplishments, appointments to boards, service to church and community, college athletic feats, and much more
• The myriad of alumnae who took part in the annual SHA Career Day
• The more than 500 alumnae – Valkyrie Sisters – ranging in age from
22 to 73 who came “home” for the Friday night reunion weekend
kick-off reception. And the many more who attended the Golden
Grads luncheon, individual class gatherings, and closing Mass
• For the many alumnae, parents and faculty/staff who played a vital
role in SHA meeting its Annual Fund goal
• For the dedicated alumnae who volunteer their time, talents and
treasures as board members and Class Reps
Lastly, I must thank Jesus for my treasured friends and family. You see,
this past Christmas they surprised me with an incredible gift. In my honor,
they established the SHA Nannette Mershon Alumnae Scholarship that
benefits a student who aspires to be a Valkyrie, but does not have the
financial means to attend our school. What an amazing gift bestowed on
me! But, more importantly, what an amazing gift my friends and family
are giving a young woman! I am so grateful to my friends and family for
this gift – and for establishing it during my lifetime when I can witness
the good it is doing for young women, Catholic education and my “Dear
Sacred Heart”.

Reunion
Weekend
2014
We shall remember
and love you we vow
It
…Dear Sacred Heart
was a weekend of laughter, stories, reminiscing, a few regrets (the plaid dress
with puffy sleeves for the dance was not a good choice, for instance!) and even
a few tears. Sacred Heart Academy alumnae traveled from the north, south, east
and west of the continent to spend the weekend with their Valkyrie sisters.
The festivities began June 6 with an invitation-only reception hosted by Dr. Cynthia
Crabtree, president of Sacred Heart Schools, and Mary Lee McCoy, principal of SHA, for
alumnae who are loyal and consistent donors to the Annual Fund.
The official reunion weekend kicked off with an all-class reception in the gym. Music from
the decades, class photos, trolley rides around the Ursuline Campus, browsing memory
tables that held yearbooks and other memorabilia from years past, shopping in the SHA
campus store, and walking the halls of SHA kept alumnae busy all evening.
The Class of 1964 was welcomed into the Golden Grads club on Saturday at a luncheon at
Audubon Country Club. Graduates from 1940 to 1964 attended this special luncheon that
included remarks by Mary Claire O’Daniel ’14, granddaughter of Claire Fensterer Lococo
‘64. Saturday afternoon and evening was also hopping with individual class parties for the
Class of 1964 to the Class of 2009!
On Sunday, many alumnae and their families attended Mass in the Ursuline Motherhouse
Chapel. Guests and the Ursuline Sisters in attendance gave thanks for the many blessings
of SHA. Following Mass, guests were invited to a complimentary continental breakfast at

Planned Giving
St. Angela Merici Circle
From the writings of St. Angela, the 10th Legacy states:
“With the help of God you will do much good for others.”
In our winter 2014 Heartbeat, I asked if you have remembered Sacred Heart Schools in your will or estate
plan. Many volunteered they have made formal plans for SHS to receive a gift by will, insurance or trust
from their estate. We are most grateful to these wonderfully generous friends who will be part of our St.
Angela Merici Circle, documented in our 2014 annual report and invited to a special reception hosted by
Dr. Cindy Crabtree, president of Sacred Heart Schools. I know there are more who have remembered Sacred
Heart in the future, but have not informed us. By letting us know, you will encourage others to say, “You
know if she did that, I can too!” Will you consider making a commitment to do the same? Gifts by will,
trust, IRA, or gift annuities will “do much good for others” as St. Angela stated.
I am happy to talk with you about this special way to remember your Dear Sacred Heart.

Amy Baker Receives
Loretta P. Mudd Award
for Excellence in Teaching
Amy Baker, chair of the SHA Art Department, is the recipient of
the distinguished SHA Loretta Peter Mudd Excellence in Teaching
Award. The award recognizes a fulltime teacher who demonstrates
dedication to every student’s learning and full human development.
One nominator said of Ms. Baker, “I was experiencing a major
period of self-doubt. I was afraid to push myself. I could not find
inspiration and I was extremely close to quitting. Ms. Baker would
not let me give up on myself or succumb to my fear of failure. She
pushed me into an amazing journey.” Another said, “Ms. Baker
has fostered my growth, congratulating me on my triumphs and
understanding and comforting me on my failures. She has the
wisdom to both understand and explain that failure is a monumental
part of our growth as humans.”
Ms. Baker has been teaching at SHA for nearly 13 years. She teaches pottery, jewelry and accessory design, and International Baccalaureate art
classes. In addition, she serves on the Sacred Heart Schools Diversity Council and is moderator of the Farm to Fork Club, which includes teaming with
Sacred Heart Preschool students to tend a garden on the Ursuline Campus. She has a bachelor’s degree in studio art from the University of Kentucky
and a master’s degree in teaching from Spalding University. Ms. Baker is also a Girl Scout leader, volunteers for Anchal Project and is a working artist
with Pixley Knob Artists Guild.
