Sacred Heart School in Newburgh held its 
8th Grade Graduation Mass and Ceremony on June 14th. It was held at the St. Joseph School in New Windsor, due to the renovations being done at the Sacred Heart School building.
In addition to the presentation of diplomas, the students were recognized for their academic and athletic achievements during the year. Post 386 was on hand to present Frank DeMaro III with a $500 scholarship for his outstanding essay, “What America Means to Me”.
