"Remember to keep holy the sabbath day. Six days you may labor and do all your work,
but the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord, your God. No work may be done then either
by you, or your son or daughter, or your male or female slave, or your beast,
or by the alien who lives with you. In six days the Lord made the heavens and earth,
the sea and all that is in them; but on the seventh day he rested. That is why the Lord has blessed the sabbath day and made it holy."
Exodus 20:8-11

KISS BUDDY THE DONKEY FUNDRAISER TO SUPPORT St. Mark's Catholic School in Wilmington, NC
This year during the Fall Festival participants will have the opportunity to help our friends at St. Mark's Catholic School in Wilmington, NC rebuild after the devastating flooding from Hurricane Florence. When we spoke to their Advancement Director earlier this week, 22 families were still not able to go back to their homes. The picture is from one of their teacher's houses. Their community will need a lot of resources and prayers to rebuild. Vote for the teacher or administrator you would like to see kiss Buddy the Donkey by donating to their cup.

COUNSELING CORNER
This week I met with grades 3, 4 and 5. We had a nice introductory lesson. We discussed some symbols that represent our roles with one another as fellow MBS students. Our students did a great job as we discussed helping one another, motivating one another, listening to one another, being a team player, building one another up and showing kindness and love in all we do! We watched a Kid President video called For the Heroes. Parents watch this with your children. They love Kid President!
Attn: Middle School Parents
When I visit our Middle School classes I will talk about Service Hours. We are asking that our Middle School Students give 25 hours of community service over their 3 years in middle school, before they leave the 8th grade and move onto HS. I will discuss this with our middle school and let them each have copies of the form that will need to be signed to verify hours. We will give volunteer opportunities in the News and Muse as we hear of them. Parents, please let me know if you have any questions about this.
tgabbard@mbscs.org
This

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.
