    A Sacred School Tradition: Congé

    academic spotlight

    A beloved Josephinum and Sacred Heart tradition! Congé is a French term that translates to "free day" or "break". It lets us as a team and faculty plan a fun surprise day for all of our students! This year Ms. Monique led us in planning an all school field trip to Sonny Acres Farm where the students were able to enjoy some of the rides, bring home a pumpkin, and enjoy all things fall!
