Annual Appeal - New Roof

The current roof, situated over the kitchen and locker rooms, has been plagued by leaks that have persisted for an extended period of time. In order to ensure the safety and well-being of its students, faculty, and staff, Sacred Heart School must undertake the crucial task of replacing the current roof.

A leaking roof, no matter how small the leak may be, can have far-reaching consequences that are not merely limited to the physical aspect of a building. The damage caused by water intrusion can lead to the degradation of important structural components, compromising the overall integrity of the building. Moreover, the presence of moisture can create an ideal breeding ground for mold and mildew, posing a possible health hazard for all occupants of the building.

The aesthetics of a school are a reflection of its commitment to maintaining a professional learning environment. A leaking roof, with its unsightly water stains and visible signs of damage, can give a negative impression to students, staff, and visitors alike. This can undermine the school's reputation and impact its ability to attract and retain students and talented faculty members.

Recognizing the urgency of the situation, Sacred Heart School has made the decision to prioritize the replacement of the roof, ensuring that the necessary funds are allocated towards this critical endeavor. The cost for replacing the roof is $58,000. The Sacred Heart School Endowment Board has agreed to help with the cost, in addition to $20,000 available from the school’s capital improvement account. With the support of the local community, parents, alumni and other stakeholders, the roof replacement will be attainable. By rallying behind Sacred Heart School's quest for a new roof, community members can contribute not only to the preservation of a cherished institution but also to the safety and well-being of its students.

In conclusion, the urgent need for a new roof for Sacred Heart School is a matter that cannot be ignored. The leaking roof over the kitchen and locker rooms poses significant risks to the structural integrity of the building, as well as the health and safety of the students and faculty. By prioritizing this critical project and garnering the support of the community, Sacred Heart School can restore its facilities to ensure that the legacy of academic excellence, rooted in a strong faith in God, continues to thrive within its walls. Together, let us invest in the future of Sacred Heart School and its students.
