Backyard Picnic

Our first “Family Fun” event of the year has been planned! Pack a picnic for your family and join us on the lawn! 

By this time, the kids will have made new friends and settled into their routines. This will give them an opportunity to be together outside of the classroom while parents get to know each other! It’s going to be a great night! We can’t wait! 

Feel free to bring lawn chairs, picnic blankets, lawn games, food/drink for your family and tailgate tents. Let us know if you have any questions! 
A Time for Twos

Blessed Sacrament School’s Time for Twos program is designed as a gentle introduction to school. Our program encourages children to work in a group, explore new materials, and make age-appropriate developmental transitions.

Our Program
Time for Twos meets on Wednesdays for a six week session in the fall (September to October). The 45-minute meetings are led by Program Director, Jill Zang Glenn. Each child must be accompanied by a parent, grandparent, or caregiver

A typical meeting includes an art project, free play, story and music.
Session dates are: September 25th and October 2nd, 9th, 16th, 23rd and 30th

How to Apply
Children who will be age two by August 31st of the current school year are eligible to enroll. Sessions are then filled on a first come-first served basis. Enrollment in Time for Twos does not guarantee a place in the preschool the following year.

Time for Twos is currently enrolling for the Fall 2019 session. If you are interested in enrolling your child please contact David Lynch at   admissions@bssknights.org   or 336.570.0019.

Volunteer!
In order to keep our tuition rates low while still delivering a quality education to our students, we have an incredible level of dependence from our parent volunteers. We need your help.

In an effort to engage more families to participate in volunteerism at BSS, we are requesting that each family with a child or children in grades K thru 8th to provide a minimum of 20 hours of service to Blessed Sacrament School. Persons who qualify to serve for the family are parents, grandparents, or other adult family members.

Please prayerfully consider signing up one or more of the volunteer opportunities we have available. For a description of the volunteer positions, and to sign up, CLICK HERE .

Thank you for your support!
Prayer Requests
St. Theresa’s Prayer

“May today there be peace within.
May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.
May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith.
May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you.
May you be content knowing you are a child of God.
Let this presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love.
It is there for each and every one of us.”
From the Principal's Desk
