Blessed Sacrament Catholic School
Curriculum
VALUES AND SERVICE LEARNING
As we teach everyday to be more like Christ, values and service learning are incorporated in all that is taught at Blessed Sacrament School. Seventh and Eighth graders are required to perform service hours to help others in the community. All classes perform many service projects throughout the year such as the following:
- Soup Kitchen
- Sharing Basket Program and Delivery (Gifts at Christmas and Easter)
- Monthly Sandwiches for the Poor
- Blood Drive
- Giving Tree Program
- Various Projects Decided by Each Class
Values Learning is incorporated in all subjects throughout the curriculum. The Steps to Respect Program is also taught at all levels in order that students learn to treat each other with respect at all times. This non-bullying program has helped to stop all bullying in the school and create a family atmosphere.
