Benvenuti/Welcome to Miss Alhadef's Home Page for the 2024-2025 school year. 
 
I'm so glad you stopped by to check out our wonderful school. We are celebrating our 127th year of Catholic education in Redlands. This year our school theme is, "Live Our Mission Today." I am truly grateful to be here and am excited for all that we will do this year.
 
I graduated from California State University, San Bernardino in 1989 with a degree in Geography and minor in Anthropology. I also recevied my AA degree from Crafton HIlls College in 1984. I have been at Sacred Heart Academy since 2000 and over the years have been the aide in 1st, 3rd, 5th, and Jr. High. I also was the Extended Care Director during my first 10 years in addition to being an Aide.
 
This year I'm the 4th Grade Aide, do art/religion with 7th grade on Wednesdays, and am Campus Minister. As Campus Minister I write a reflection for the weekly Parent Letter - this reflection is also posted under Keeping Up With Your Faith (see under Spiritual Life on the school webpage) and on the school's Facebook page. New articles for Five Minutes With Francis (see under Spiritual Life) are on hold at this time. The older articles are still available to read. 
 
4th grade has adopted Saint Joseph as one of our class saints. We do a modified La Tavola di san Giuseppe (Saint Joseph's Table) where we use La Benedizione del Vescovo (the Bishop's Blessing) to bless the entire school on his feast day - the bread we bring out to assembly is given to those in need.
 
Lastly, I'm a little angel who is all about dark chocolate, squirrels! (sinjab! where?!), art, and the Los Angeles Dodgers - Go Dodgers! I also give walking tours of Redlands (no charge).
 
You can also follow me on Twitter @naditaAnne and Instagram @naditaAnne or @ubisaidthis.
 
Buonagiornata, e che Dio te benedica con pace e gioia.
 
San Giuseppe, prega per noi!  Santa Maria Maddalena, prega per noi!
 
p.s. Dinosaurs are cool! rawr!!

Playground Music

4th grade's musical composition using various equipment on the field as their instruments. Morgan, Lila and Giovanna came up to me on Monday and presented their idea of doing something similar to Tower Music where Bertolozzi did this using the Eiffel Tower as his instrument. The girls did some test runs and scoping out of sites at recess and we created a basic storyboard of what we wanted to do, but we had no rehearsal time. We split the class so there weren't too many students at any one time playing. The things we used are what you find in the classroom; pencils, rulers, scissors, etc. Additionally our first film crew fell through but they found us a replacement team 20 minutes before we began filming. We thank Mrs. Misenheimer for jumping in last minute and having great intuition for what we were doing. She did a great job filming. Enjoy our video and hear our playground in a whole new way.
Go Dodgers!
