A Message from Mrs. Gioe
As part of our Accreditation with AdvancEd, MBS is encouraged to review our mission statement each year and solicit feedback from our stakeholders. You, the families of Most Blessed Sacrament Catholic School are some of our most important stakeholders and we need your help.
The Most Blessed Sacrament Catholic School mission statement is below. Please take a few minutes to read and consider the mission of Most Blessed Sacrament Catholic School. Are we fulfilling our mission? Is there something we are doing that is not represented in our mission? What are some ways that we could better communicate our mission? What are some ways that YOU can help us further our mission?
“The mission of Most Blessed Sacrament Catholic School is to minister to the educational needs of our parish family by providing a teaching atmosphere that promotes gospel values and academic excellence for our students.”
YOU are vital to the life of Most Blessed Sacrament Catholic School. If you are interested in helping us to further our mission, please contact me at cgioe@mbsbr.org.
In Christ,
Cheri Gioe

Family Night - August 29
Dear Parents,
Each year Most Blessed Sacrament School supports Family Night. This semester’s
Family Night will be Tuesday, August 29. On this night, there will be no homework, and there will be no tests to study for on Wednesday. We encourage you to take advantage of this time and spend it together as a family. Make every effort to sit down and eat dinner together. If possible, add a fun activity to your evening, like a board game or a walk around the block. Avoid electronics which will take the attention away from each other on this Family Night. Research consistently finds that the more kids eat dinner with their family, the less likely they are to use drugs/alcohol or engage in other risky behaviors. Time together is time well-spent. We hope you enjoy this evening!
God bless,
Michelle DiBenedetto, LCSW
School Counselor
