Dear Parents and Guardians,
"...I AM THE LIVING BREAD THAT CAME DOWN FROM HEAVEN; WHOEVER EATS THIS BREAD WILL LIVE FOREVER; AND THE BREAD THAT I WILL GIVE IS MY FLESH FOR THE LIFE OF THE WORLD." John 6:51
It is difficult to believe that we have arrived at the conclusion of another school year. I would like to extend my wishes to you and your family for a safe, relaxing and enjoyable summer. During the summer months, please continue to practice your faith through attendance and participation in the Liturgies and the faith community programs of your parish.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all of the wonderful support that you have provided to our school during this school year. We are truly blessed to have such awesome students and parents to whom we provide our ministry of faith and academics. This school year has been very successful on a number of levels and that success is measured in the growth that we see in your children, our students. Your outstanding support of your children is a key factor in that success and we thank you, emphatically, for all that you have done, given and shared.
On Friday, June 9th our school community will conclude the 2016-2017 school year in grateful praise and worship at a concluding Liturgy that will be celebrated at 10:00 a.m. at St. John Neumann Church. Students will be dismissed at 11:15 a.m. What a wonderful year this has been! As we look back over the past ten months, we swell in joy for the many blessings that our Lord has bestowed upon our students, our staff and our families. Thank you to all for your support! We wish everyone a safe and enjoyable summer.
LAST DAY OF AFTERCARE
Please remember that the LAST DAY of AfterCare will be THURSDAY, JUNE 8TH! There is NO AfterCare on Friday, June 9th.

New Family Mentoring Program for 2017-2018 School Year
We are looking for volunteers who would be willing to give their time and talent to assist us in our New Family Mentoring Program. The purpose of this program is to be able to give our new families a contact to go to if
 they have questions or are unsure of something. This would give our new families a comfort of knowing that we are a school community and are here to welcome them with open arms. Thank you for your willingness to help and be there for these new families to make the new school year as easy and comfortable a transition as it can be for them.
For your time and talent, we will give 10 FIP hours towards the 2017-2018 school year, which will be applied at the beginning of the 3rd trimester. For more questions about the Mentoring Program or if you would like to sign up to be a Mentor, please contact Lisa Edmunds at

In such a rapidly transforming world, business owners will be left in the dust if they cease to adapt to the demographic desires that we are presented with everyday. To truly expand your business and reach new heights, business owners must effectively market on what approximately 46% of the globe uses - the Internet." Kexxar Camarco, MBS graduate

Vision Statement
Most Blessed Sacrament Catholic School provides rigorous and technologically relevant instruction that is intentionally integrated with Catholic identity. Together, as Pastors, administrators, teachers and parents, we nurture the development of the mind, the body, and the soul, in each of our students. Our students are able to make sound decisions based upon the teachings of Jesus Christ and modeled upon the lives of the saints. As a faith and learning community, we teach students a passion for the truth and a love for discovery and knowledge. Our students are prepared to relate their Catholic faith to their culture and actively live their faith as members of the greater community.
