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.
