Dear Parents, SAVE THE DATE!!! The annual benefit is under our belt and now it is time to look forward to our 100th anniversary celebration. On October 21, we will be having our Birthday Bash, a celebration of 100 years as a school. We started talking about this a few years ago and we have a committee that has been working together since before Christmas to plan an event that will rival (outdo???) our 75th Anniversary party in 1998. We will be posting on social media and sending out communication about the event between now and October. We have collected over a thousand email addresses (in addition to those of all current parents). We also have set up a link on the school website to buy tickets and get further information. Visit the link here and look for further communication as the event gets closer (be sure to check your spam and promotional inboxes). Whether you were a Bomber or a Bruin or a Bulldog, we’d love to see you come back to celebrate with us in October! This event is for parishioners, current/former parents and faculty, and any friends of the Blessed Sacrament Community.   Hail to our thespians! Our Shakespaeare troupe regaled us with a (semi) bawdy rendition of Henry VIII at the school performance in the gym on Tuesday afternoon. This was after a weekend during which a number of them went to New York to see MacBeth and a matinee performance of Six. Thank you to the Marks (Mancini and Schiller) for continuing this tradition and giving these children a chance to experience the genius of the bard. And, thank you to all of the children who have worked so hard to prepare for the performance. You showed courage and perseverance.  Faithfully, Chris Kelly
