A Message From Our Summer Camp Director

Want to help make our summer camp better than ever? Hello, my name is Faith Antonek. For the second time, I will be the director of our Knights of Summer Camp. We have had many amazing camps over the years but I would like to offer some new ones this year. Some favorites from previous years that will remain include Star Wars camp, American Girl camp, and Coding camp. While brainstorming some new themes, I would love to hear ideas from the parents! Is there a camp you would like to see? A certain movie or activity your child can't get enough of? I want to create the camps that your children will love! If you have any ideas, please send me an email at fantonek@bssknights.org so I can make summer camp the best for you. Thank you!

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 
development 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.
Spring session dates are: February 19th, March 4th,11th, 18th, 25th and April 1st. Sessions begin at 9:00 AM.

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.
