School Notes
Blessed Sacrament is a parish, neighborhood school dedicated to
excellence within an atmosphere of Christian love and concern. This
goal of excellence is rooted in the teaching mission of the
Catholic Church, a mission to assist parents in the development of
the whole child. This means giving attention to the child's
spiritual, intellectual, moral, emotional and physical growth. We
believe that this can best be accomplished within a community of
persons which share a family-like love for each member of the
community, along with a determination to work together to
accomplish our common goals.Our primary goal is to direct the child
toward a mature Christian life. The achievement of growth into a
life of full participation within the Christian community should be
nurtured within the school setting. The Eucharistic celebrations,
communal prayer, and participation in sacramental liturgical
celebration are all ways in which the children are guided toward a
mature relationship with their Savior, Jesus Christ.Because Blessed
Sacrament School believes so firmly in the concept of education for
the future, we are determined to strive for excellence in all
aspects of the curriculum. The administration and faculty direct
their efforts towards continuous program evaluation, quality
program development, and professional growth and development. These
efforts enable the faculty to enrich the lives of those they
teach.Among many educational ideals, the concept of individual
needs stands out as basic to our philosophy. Therefore, we are
determined to do as much as we can to identify individual needs,
research available alternatives, and select for each student the
best course of action we are able to provide. Such a concept
assumes the investment of time, personnel, money, and effort. Given
the assets which we have, we are determined to do as much as
possible to ensure that each student achieves his/her potential,
thus developing the talent bestowed by God. Perhaps the strongest
tool we have toward the achievement of these goals/ideals is our
experience of community, unity, and dedication within the faculty
and staff. Believing in the basic premise that a child's welfare is
central to a successful education, the faculty shares its concerns.
By working together we can solve problems and arrive at solutions
for the good of all. We believe that a strong spirit of dedication
and unity among the faculty will promote a student body which is
more apt to care for every member as if it were truly a
family.Maintaining ourselves as a parish, neighborhood school is
another advantage, which we strive to continue. The success of the
students, faculty, and entire school is the result of a close
working relationship within the community. The school is an
integral part of the parish, sharing in its liturgies, social
outreach, and parish problems as well as its blessings. Students
are aware of the needs among families, sharing themselves through
prayer, or offering whatever assistance they can. This close
working relationship is life-giving to the school community.Because
we believe in the necessity of nurturing each individual, we try to
provide an atmosphere of friendliness throughout the school. A
sense of family characterizes our classrooms; a spirit of caring
motivates our actions toward each other; and an attitude of
Christian love is evident in the respect which we accord to each
other. Parental support and caring are also evident in the areas of
home-school association and fundraising. Even more important,
parental support is present in the daily life of the school as
parent volunteers help with lunch duty, serve as room parents,
assist with field trips, work with children on extracurricular
activities, and generally lend support where it is needed. This
close working relationship adds to the family spirit of the school
leaving us free to be ourselves with the knowledge that we will be
accepted by our classmates and teachers as brother or sister in the
family of God.Finally, because we are a Christian educational
facility, we see ourselves as journeying together to the future, a
future ripe with hope because we walk with each other as we all
walk with Christ.
