Celebrating the life of Mother Teresa

We had a special assembly today where we found out about Mother Teresa and how she helped the people of Calcutta in India. We were amazed to hear that she had sacrificed her life to help so many people. Isn't it wonderful that she was made a saint yesterday?

As a school we are going to try and follow two of Mother Teresa's most famous quotations as a guide:

• "Do you want to do something beautiful for God? There is a person who needs you. This is your chance."
• "Not all of us can do great things. But we can all do small things with great love."

We would like to share two news stories about pupils at Sacred Heart who have already done something beautiful for God.

Evie and Amelie Scott (in years 5 and 3) decided to have their hair cut and donate their plaits to a charity called 'Little Princess Trust' where their hair will be used to make wigs for children.

Katie-Lou Dunne (Year 6) has been creating beautiful artistic drawings for people over the summer. She painted a picture of her cousin's gerbils to give to her whilst in hospital.

We are really proud of all the children here who we know think greatly about others. We hope you enjoy the photographs.
