A Message from Cheri Gioe:
At our most recent school Mass, Father Phil shared with us that the word Eucharist means thanksgiving to God. He reminded us that through the Eucharist God recognizes our thankfulness for Him and in return gives us more of Himself. His message created a beautiful picture of God’s selfless love for us. As we celebrate Thanksgiving next week, let us strive to give more of ourselves to others, in thanksgiving for all that we have.
Have a blessed and happy Thanksgiving.
In Christ,

Student of the Year 2017
Each year the Diocese of Baton Rouge participates in the Louisiana Department of Educat
ion's Student of the Year Awards Program. This program recognizes outstanding elementary, middle and high school students. Students who are recognized by this process demonstrate excellent academic achievement, leadership ability, and citizenship.
As a Catholic school we also add the criteria of spirituality and service.
Most Blessed Sacrament is proud to announce that 5th graders, Greenley Duplantis and Blaise Fox and 8th graders, Thomas Hodgson, Christin Ransome, Mark Albano and Anna Delafield were nominated for Student of the Year based upon the following criteria: students have a minimum of a 3.5 grade point average, students have performed in the top 15 percent of standardized testing in reading and math, and students demonstrate leadership ability citizenship, spirituality, and stewardship. These six students participated in interviews with Administration this week.
After careful consideration, we are proud to announce Greenley Duplantis and Anna Delafield as MBS 2017 Student of the Year recipients. Greenley and Anna will represent MBS at the Diocesan level in January. Congratulations Greeley and Anna. We are proud of you!

From the Office of Child Protection:
Parents,
The Safe and Sacred online test site used for the child protection process will be locked for system maintenance and upgrades from November 18-27. Please check your calendar to see if any activity you may be wanting to volunteer for in November/December will be affected by this lockdown. Please do your training in advance if necessary. You will not be able to train during this time period.
Scout parents should have received child protection paperwork notices. If you have received a notice, please complete the necessary paperwork and return to me. Some are new scout parents who need to complete the entire child protection process, while some need to update their training and/or code of ethics. Also, please note completing the child protection process for the Parish, since scouts are sponsored by MBS Parish, does NOT make you compliant to volunteer at MBS School. Louisiana law requires school volunteers to have a fingerprint background check done. If you have any questions concerning your status for child protection, please contact me at
225-753-5526
or
bpeterson@mbsbr.org
.
Thank you,
Beverly Peterson, Child Protection Site Coordinator
