SPIRIT. MIND. BODY. CORDECHO 9 The full team gathered for a planning retreat in December 2022 collectively establishing big, bold, daring plans for an even brighter future. Like Mother Leonarda’s original vision, our new ideas are grounded in providing young women a foundation from which to say yes to a thrilling and unlimited future. Throughout the Strategic Planning process, we focused our efforts on providing our students a warm, welcoming, supportive community where they are permitted, encouraged, and empowered to cultivate their own yeses. What was revolutionary in girls’ education 150 years ago continues at SHA today with our upgraded approaches to curriculum, our community life, and the appreciation of our faith tradition and heritage. Sacred Heart is proud of this legacy and the momentum that will carry us forward, with the support and engagement of all constituent groups. In other words, we need to say yes to sharing our legacy and shaping our future. The yes that Mother Leonarda championed almost 150 years ago echoes throughout our halls today. We are, and will always be, a school community committed to providing excellence in education for young women in the Catholic Franciscan tradition. That’s one big, bold, daring YES to another 150 years. Ms. Meghan D’Andrea and IB Diploma candidates from the Class of 2024 work collaboratively to select the topics they will deeply research for individual assessments. Mother Leonarda Hannappel, foundress of Buffalo Academy of the Sacred Heart
