Happy Wreath Selling Season to You All!

We have vigorous FUNdraising goals this fall and they’re based on the reality that this great community always rises to the occasion. Thank You!

While the wreath campaign falls right on the heels of Marathon, we’re pretty certain you understand the value of wreath sales for our school community.

This packet includes a vivid color display of the affordable, quality items we are offering such as wreaths, swag, pine boughs, and centerpieces. Please send all orders and checks/cash by October 25, 2022. Checks payable to Sacred Heart Catholic School.

Another option: Send a fresh, fragrant, natural balsam fir holiday decoration to friends, business associates and loved ones! We have an order form available for mail order and Evergreen Industries will ship directly for you. Contact Sarah Bowback for this special mail order form.

We appreciate all you do to help keep education costs down with these invaluable fundraisers.

Thanks so much!
