SHA Service Projects

Stand Up for Kids

Since 1994 Sacred Heart Academy has adopted STAND UP FOR KIDS as our all school service project. This national organization which had its beginnings in San Diego works with children who are homeless and live on the streets.

Approximately one million kids, some as young as nine years old, are forced to live on the streets. In San Diego there are thousands of children who are living on the streets. Here in Ocean Beach there are several hundred of these children.

Through STAND UP FOR KIDS Sacred Heart Academy students are able to do something positive for these children. Every Wednesday is designated STAND UP FOR KIDS DAY at Sacred Heart Academy. On these days we ask students to bring items to school which will be passed on to the children living on the streets here in our area.

Bring any of the below items to school on Wednesdays. Place in the STAND UP FOR KIDS collection box located outside of Fifth Grade.

Below is a partial listing of items needed for STAND UP FOR KIDS:
