Our daughter was a new student at Sacred Heart last year and Mrs. Sweeney was her teacher. Kaitlyn adored Mrs. Sweeney and sent her a note that she decorated with pictures to let Mrs. Sweeney know how much she appreciated her. Even though Mrs. Sweeney's time with the class was short last year, she made a lasting impression and will be greatly missed.
