Summer is here! It's a wonderful time of year for creating lasting memories with family and friends while you soak up some sun and enjoy the time off. We would love your help in building a Stuart family photo album so our new and current families can get to know everyone better. Send your group photos - parents, children, pets - wearing your Stuart gear, and we'll send you a little gift! Send your photos to news@stuartschool.org and we'll share photos on our social media and website.

Part of our work in preparing students for the future is to guide them in learning how to access and use information in ways that are meaningful to them. Providing opportunities and time for students to tap into their desire to learn about their world is necessary so that they can pursue their interests and passions. Lead With Heart was a project-based learning process where students explored topics and interests connected to their passions.

On Friday June 7, the Lower School celebrated the end of the school year with an afternoon of fun on the Stuart turf! Activities included sand art, visor decorating, donut-on-a-string eating contest, parachute games, potato sack and three-legged races, and much more. The Kona Ice Truck was also onsite to deliver refreshing treats.

NJ.com recently announced the girls track and field All-State and All-Area teams for 2019, and three of our athletes were honored.

Congratulations to the Stuart Class of 2019! It was a beautiful day to send this incredible class on its next journey beyond our green brick walls. Special thanks to our graduation speaker, Dana Jordan, former English faculty at Stuart, for inspiring our students with the wisdom of Jane Austen to live "fuller, richer, more vibrant, and more meaningful" lives. Additional speakers were Sophia Sumaray and Gillian Carmien who delivered meaningful reflections on the graduates' strength as a class and the lasting impact of Stuart and the Sacred Heart Goals. We are also pleased to share the list of senior awards given before graduation.

Our outstanding faculty and staff lead and mentor by example every day at Stuart. Each year those who truly exemplify a specific Sacred Heart Goal and its Criteria are nominated by their colleagues and selected by the Board of Trustees to receive an award. We applaud these men and women who live and breathe life into the words that make up our Sacred Heart Goals.
