Dear Parents,
Fore!! Monday is our annual golf tournament. Since you will be up late watching the Nationals win it in 5 on Sunday night, wouldn't it be great to have the next morning to sleep in and roll over to Kenwood for lunch and a 1:00 shotgun start? Current forecast...68 and mostly sunny...can't ask for a better day to get out with some friends and chase a ball around the course.
We have gotten our sponsors but we could really use some more players to make this thing an even bigger success. If you haven't signed up yet, please
click here to do so. Hope to see you out there!
Please
CLICK HERE to see a letter that I read to all of the students this week from the superintendent about threats. Your child's safety continues to be our top priority.
Go NATS!
Faithfully,
Chris Kelly

Middle school students attend, but do not participate in the parade.

It is not a dress down day!

I'm excited to tell you about Crayola ColorCycle - an amazing program devised to repurpose used markers rather than sending them to landfills!
Since 2013, the program has repurposed more than 70 tons of expended markers in the United States and Canada. The most advanced plastic conversion technologies available are used to make wax compounds for asphalt and roofing shingles as well as to generate electricity that can be used to heat homes, cook food, and power vehicles.
The students and teachers at Blessed Sacrament will be collecting used markers that are ready to be discarded. Please help by sending in any used markers you may have around the house, even non-Crayola brands! Highlighters and dry erase markers can also be included. I will collect the markers before each class or they can be placed in the drop-off box located on the "Forgetful Table" in the lobby.
Thank you in advance for participating! With the help of parents like you, the Crayola ColorCycle program can continue to keep tons of plastic out of landfills each year.
Remember, don't throw out that used marker-ColorCycle it!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Marshall
Science Teacher
