A few weeks ago, Patty West, the chairman of the eighth grade Graduation Reception
committee, 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 to
that sentiment. The students wrote of the pride that they have felt over the accomplishments
experienced throughout the years----how proud many of our students felt to be inducted into the
National 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 of
achieving good grades. I read in the lines that they felt prepared for high school. Students in the
Class of 2009 have demonstrated leadership by being involved in student government, the tech
team, and scouts. They have won speech contests and competed in a wide variety of scholastic
events. 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, and
Camp Greenville. They have worked backstage and center stage to put on school plays. All of
our students have created art and music, and raised their voices in song. Some of our students
will be forever remembered for their interesting talent show acts! So many of our eighth graders
talked about the huge accomplishment of being original members of the Liturgical Music
ministry, 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 field
and court. They have demonstrated that whether it is a winning season or not, goals can be met
when you worked together as a “team”.
I fondly read as the eighth grade students recalled being the “little kids”, and being in awe of
the older students. And, as I have watched them take their turn at being the oldest, they have
worked with buddy classes and camps created for the younger ones, served as tutors, provided
encouragement and kindness, and were inspired to be positive role models. Our students have
contributed by serving at Mass, completing thousands of service hours, and working on many
projects for the school and in the community beyond its doors. They told me in their statements
that they could see the impact of “being the body” in terms of the positive influence this school
has had on them. They expressed appreciation for our Catholic school education, learned much
about 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 or
only for a single year, our students have made great friends and found that they have had amazing teachers. 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 throughout
their lives. What most of the eighth graders recognized is the importance of everyone’s presence
and individual contributions to the school! Especially during their final year, through all the
achievements and hard work, they realized that they helped transform a brick and mortar facility
into a “place of heart”.
William James said, “The great use of life is to spend it for something that will outlast it.” Our
eighth grade students understand that they have made a lasting and wondrous impression on
those who follow. They feel the importance of doing so. What a thought as they continue life’s
journey. . . Congratulations to the class of 2009!

Fifth Grade Blasts Off
The Sacred Heart fifth grade class visited Space Camp at The U.S. Space and
Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama,
April 1st-3rd. Fifth grade teacher, Ms.
Maria Harnett, said, ”At Space Camp,
spatial technology of the past and present is showcased, and students see how
math and science can come together in
fun and exciting ways. There are unique,
hands-on learning opportunities and attractions, such as the Space and Rocket
Center Museum, which is home to the
United States’ largest collection of rockets and space memorabilia including the
Apollo 16 capsule.” Other attractions
include simulators such as the air-defying Space Shot, which shoots people 140
feet straight up in the air in less than 5
seconds, the Lunar Rover, and the centrifuge, which can simulate up to five
times the force of gravity. Harnett also
said, “the students enjoyed IMAX movies, rocket building, and scientific experiments. Everyone had such a great time
while visiting The Space and Rocket
Center; perhaps we have some future astronauts among us!”

Lend A Hand Fund Update
In the midst of the difficult economic
times that our country is facing, our
Catholic schools became concerned about
the number of families that experienced a
dramatic change in household finances. For
most of us, we do not have to look very far
to find a family member, friend, or neighbor
who has lost a job because of the declining
economy. Because of growing concern that
our Catholic families may have to choose
between Catholic school education and
other family needs, the Knoxville area
region organized a drive entitled the Lend
a Hand Fund. Area Pastors and Principals
joined efforts to collect contributions that
could be distributed to those families that
have had a change in circumstance since
the beginning of the year and may benefit
from tuition assistance. It was collected
in offertory baskets or by the school and
given to the Knoxville Regional Catholic
School Operating Fund so that it could
be equitably distributed among Catholic
students in any of the regional schools,
Sacred Heart Cathedral, St. Joseph School,
St. John Neumann, and Knoxville Catholic
High School.
The effort was extremely successful
and raised more than $95,000. Funds
were contributed from parishioners of
the following parishes: Sacred Heart
Cathedral, St. Albert the Great, Holy
Ghost, Immaculate Conception, All Saints,
Our Lady of Fatima, and St. Joseph in
Norris. In addition, the Principals from
SHCS, St. Joseph, St. John Neumann,
and Knoxville Catholic High schools
encouraged donations through their
respective communities. On behalf of all of
the Principals and Pastors, we would like to
thank all of you that may have contributed
to this fund. Sacred Heart Cathedral
parish and Sacred Heart Cathedral School
combined raised $37,036. KCHS had the
next highest contributions with $29,239,
followed by All Saints with $11,015.
Families in Sacred Heart Cathedral School
benefited by this effort by receiving
approximately $29,000 in tuition assistance.
If anyone would like to continue to
donate to the Knoxville Regional Schools
Operation Fund for tuition assistance,
please contact the Sacred Heart Business
Office at 558-4101.
First Holy Communion
Sacred Heart Cathedral School second graders made their First Holy Communion on Saturday, May 1st. Teachers Ms.

Heart-to-Heart Players
The SHCS Theater Department presented two very successful productions
this year! The fall play, “It’s a Bird, It’s a
Plane, It’s a Nerdman”, was a silly spoof on
Superman, and the spring presentation,
the classic drama, “Pollyanna”, showcased
the wide spectrum of the talents of our
students.
Producer/Director Mrs. Libby Talley
says, “Actor selection is the most difficult
of all the decisions a Director must make.
I agonize over each role, trying to make
sure that every actor fits the role. The students must choose a skit, reading, or poem
that they feel will make them competitive
for a role. Every student tries to show her/
his talents, and just by auditioning tells
me how much being in the play means
to them. I want to include as many students in a production as I can, and usually
stretch the number of roles.”
own lines and their cues from other actors’
lines. If there is music, dancing or singing
in the play, the actors must also learn all
the lyrics and choreography.
Technology Coordinator, Ms. Ann Wayburn and Associate Technology Coordinator, Mr. Robert Gatton have assembled a
wonderful “Tech Team” comprised of fifth
through eighth graders that run lights,
sound, and help on-stage. The tech crew
is an integral part of our productions.
The 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, Allie McLaughlin, Angeline Morris, Ben
Mosrie, Ritchie Mrozik, Bailey Poteet,
Sienna Prater, Alex Robinson, Hayden
White.
The Cast of Pollyanna included: Camille Baker, Abby Blevins, Madelyn
Collins, Victoria Crawford, Michael
Erpenbach, William Ewell, Christian
Gash, Ashley Gensheimer, Parker Gen-
Once the role selection is made, the
process of “putting on a play” is fast paced
with rehearsals after school every Monday through Thursday for one and a half
to two hours. There are some weekend
practices, including the essential technical rehearsals on the Saturday and Sunday
before the dress rehearsal that are the first
blending of the cast and the tech crew. The
cast is responsible for learning all of their

Sacred Heart Cathedral School
Eagle Eye on...Kelly Rexrode
Sacred Heart 3rd grade teacher Kelly
Rexrode is heading into her twentieth year
at SHCS, coming to Knoxville in the fall
of 1990. Kelly was born in Baltimore,
Maryland and attended Milligan College
in Johnson City, Tennessee. She did her
student teaching in second and fourth
grades at Happy Valley Elementary School
in Johnson City. After graduating, she
worked at a daycare, taught pre-school
summer music at a Methodist church, and
then landed at St. Mary’s School in Johnson
City, teaching 5th and 6th grades and
middle school fine arts classes.
When asked what keeps her motivated
as a teacher, Kelly says it is “the energy,
the excitement, joy, smiles, and laughter
from the students!” She believes that a
great teacher is “one who tries to love and
teach their students as Jesus would. One
who inspires the students to ‘reach for the
stars’ and to ‘never give up on themselves.’”
Her favorite aspect of teaching is simply
“interacting with the students all day.
Being able to watch their excitement for
learning and life every day - it’s contagious!
They make teaching so
worthwhile!”
Kelly also tries to keep
in touch with her former
students saying that “it’s
nice to have students come
back to Sacred Heart just
to stop by and tell you how
they are doing and what
they remember about 3rd
grade. Some students even
write and share what’s going
on in their lives!” A couple
of memories that jump out
at Kelly was the time she sat down in the
lunch room at the boys table. One of the
boys exclaimed to the other boys, “It’s okay
guys, she’s one of the good ones!” Another
time, a student prayed for her out loud
in the classroom saying, “May she use her
powers for good!” Other favorite things
are “directing the skits at Grandparents
Day, the students singing with me as I play
guitar at mass, or for Catholic Schools Week
celebrations!” Kelly is also instrumental
in the planning and organization of the
annual 3rd Grade Class
trip where the students
and teachers stay 3
days and 2 nights at
the environmental
education program at
Camp Wesley Woods in
Townsend, Tennessee.
Kelly believes in the
importance of Catholic
education. She says
“it is Christ-centered
and realizes that the
true source of all
knowledge and wisdom
comes from God. Its
Kelly Rexrode and her 3rd grade class dress up as their favorite book educators seek to instill
characters during their “Race to Read” class project.
Page 11
these Biblical principles in young hearts and
minds now and for all eternity!” She adds
that “SHCS is a special place because of the
wonderful students, parents, and staff who
are all striving to be like Christ. Together,
we have a loving, caring, faith-based school
and parish.”
Lastly, Kelly imparts that the verse she
tries to abide by each day is from Micah 6:8:
“Do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly
with my God.” She adds that “all 613 Old
Testament precepts are included in this one
verse!”
Sacred Heart Cathedral School is blessed
to have Kelly Rexrode inspire our 3rd grade
students!
3rd grader Noah Bond shares a memory with
Ms. Rexrode and the class during Grandparents
and Special Friends Day.
