Cheshire Resident Celebrates Grandparents’ Day At Sacred Heart

HAMDEN, CT — (Contributed press release): Sacred Heart Academy recently held its ninth annual Grandparents' Day, sponsored by the Office of Mission Advancement. Sophomores invited their grandparents to campus for the morning and together they enjoyed breakfast, songs from the recent musical, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, a presentation by President Sr. Sheila O'Neill, ASCJ, Ph.D., '71, Sacred Heart trivia using the students' Lenovo tablets, a prayer service in the Mount Sacred Heart Chapel, and tours. More than 100 grandparents and special guests were in attendance.

The sophomores and their grandparents particularly enjoyed their time in chapel. It was especially meaningful, as each part of the service honored the "strong bonds" between granddaughters and grandparents.
