A new garden adjacent to an existing natural area on Woodlands Academy’s beautiful 41-acre campus provides an additional opportunity to get away from it all and pause to reflect. The Prayer Garden, located just outside the art room, was created by Mia Ruck ’21 this summer as part of her work to achieve a Girl Scout Gold Award. Mia designed every garden aspect to provide a small, comforting sanctuary away from everyday life’s common stressors. In addition to its colorful whimsy and visual appeal, this garden is a tangible example of Sacred Heart Goal III: “a social awareness which impels to action.” The social awareness prompting Mia’s action was her deep concern about all the pressures teens face these days.

Considering all the uncertainty and tension surrounding this year’s election, the Woodlands Academy community began the day Nov. 4 with a prayer service.  In announcing plans for the brief service, Dean of Students Emma Hindman said this is an important time to gather as a community. “Reflecting on our Sacred Heart mission will remind us all to look to the Goals and Criteria for guidance and stability in the days and weeks ahead,” she added. Head of School Meg Steele did just that in her opening remarks. “We are blessed to have the Goals and Criteria to guide us,” she said. “Goal IV calls us to the building of community as a Christian value. Our community is strong and resilient. We take care of one another and stand up for what is right.”
