Thank you...thank you...thank you!
Thanks to everyone who made the benefit such a success. Thank you to the bidders and the buyers; thank you to the setter uppers and the taker downers; thank you to the front and center people and everyone who worked behind the scenes; but most importantly, thank you to Celine and Katie and Ashley for all of the gold medal effort to make it happen. It takes an Olympic village to pull it off and the Blessed Sacrament community did a great job.
Now, on to a way to demonstrate how a Blessed Sacrament education 'benefits' your child (see what I did there?) The archdiocese had limited information that we could share from our standardized testing until now. There are pros and cons to releasing such information, but the decision has been made that every school will release information that shows performance results compared to public schools. This information is posted on our website, and you can access it directly by
clicking here. Please take a moment to take a look at it.
We have always been quite proud of the performance of Blessed Sacrament students and we will continue to strive to improve each year. We are delighted that we are able to share this information with you and look forward to sharing similar good news in the future.
Please remember the Week of the Arts is next week. We look forward to this great opportunity to share a variety of culture and arts with the students.
Faithfully,
Chris Kelly
