Here are some of your comments

Frs. Campell (his love for children), Cassidy (his super-speedy masses!), and Peridotto (his little VW Beetle). Practicing organ in the church balcony every day during lunch recess, and playing organ for every weekday morning mass as my 'payment' for use of the church organ. (I took private organ lessons at the Catholic high school and had progressed beyond the limitations of our 'home model' organ.) Our 3rd grade homeroom, in the basement of the parish community building...yuck! Mrs. Donath - the best English teacher ever; gave me a great foundation for success! Switching to school uniforms in 5th grade. (I wish my kids' school would wise up and move to uniforms...)

I attended Blessed Sacrament School in 6th and 7th grades in the early 1950s and have wonderful memories of my experiences there. I was taught by the Ursuline Sisters, truly great women! Are any Sisters still left at Blessed Sacrament?

It is good to know that your great parish and school continue the tradition that Blessed Sacrament has always had. I remember Msgr. Tarrant in his declining years. My family lived at 2320 S. Whittier in those years. We were a Granite City family and returned to GC after two years in Springfield.

I live in San Francisco and still return to the midwest to visit my family in the St. Louis area. We vacation annually at Devils Lake Wisconsin and always stop in Springfield on our way up I-55 for a visit to Blessed Sacrament.

I am a BSS Alum Class of 1993. I was just wondering if there are ever any reunions or anything like that? Please email me if there is.

Please keep Heather Gonet and her family in your thoughts and prayers. She was an amazing young girl and will be greatly missed.

I loved watching the Living Stations of the Cross on Friday. It was so touching to see seventh graders perform them and be so reverent while performing them. I hope that everyone else who saw them liked them too.

I am VERY sad to hear of the passing of Miss Child. She was a women with courage, stood up for what she believed, had a unique sense of humor and cared for each person as if they were her own friend or even child. She will be VERY missed by alot of people. I was proud to have worked with her on the Pastoral Council and as a fellow employee. She was truly a bright figure in my life.

We are all so sad about Miss. Child's death. However, we know that she is in a better place than us. I would like to take a moment to ask everyone in the parish and school to pray for her and/or think about her every day. She truly made a difference at Blessed Sacrament School.

I think BSS is the greatest school ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Everyone needs to attend the volleyball game so we can get the Spirit award again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GO BRUINS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The SOUPer BOWL is going on in January. Bring in as much soup as possible! If your classroom brings in the most soup, then your classroom and another one will have the final show-down. Other classrooms will be able to root for a classroom participating in the last round. Don't forget to make up a name for your classroom, even though most classrooms already have a name. The seventh grade really appreciates you bringing in soup! So, don't forget to bring in soup!!!

The Eighth Grade IESA Girls basketball team (2006) is going to win STATE!!!! They are awesome!

What's up? It's Schofie. I'm just inviting all the 7th and 8th graders to the Ursuline Academy Open House this Thursday night. Doors open at 6:00, starts at 6:30. You will even get the opportunity to hear the Ursuline Madrigals perform for your listening pleasure. Again, Thursday night, 6:30. Hope to see people there.

The 8th grade girls basketball team is going to win STATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi. I'm from the graduating class of '04. Some of you may remember me. Anyway, I'm just dropping by to see how things are going. We need more BSS kids at Ursuline. We had four from the previous graduating class, including Aaron. Come to Ursuline, forget SHG.lol, jk. Anyway, go BSS!

I am a parent who has a new student at BSS...he is a 5th Grade student in Mrs. Valdez's class...his name is Grant Wallace. We are very excited to be a part of BSS...Grant LOVES it at BSS!!!! Karla Wallace

I really like BSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Go bruins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =)

But I think there should be a school newspaper. There would be one page for each grade. It would come out every month and it would be for the students instead of the parents (parents get the weekly newsletter). People in 6 through 8 grades would be the newspaper staff. I think it will enforce school spirit. It would also be fun to read!

I'd like to say good bye to Gracia Harrison and Maya Knight!! We all miss you guys like sooooooooooo much!! Thanx for being with us!! Miss ya!!

Hey y'alls! It's Gracia once again, and I wanted to say congrats to Mrs.Keller (my homeroom teacher) on her baby, and I think BSS is the best school ever, all my friends are great, and so are the teachers. I really like going to school here, and I hope I'll be back for 7th and 8th grade here!!! Bye!!!

Your Web site is awesome BSS!!! You have lots of great pictures of current things going on at school. It seems very user friendly and informative. As someone who has been gone for 4 years now (!!!), it's great to check in with the school through your site. Keep up the good work!
Chris Meyer, former BSS parent

Congrats to The Scholastic Bowl Team on winning third at state! Woot Woot! Hope we do just as well next year. Also Congrats to Mrs. Keller on the news of her baby. See ya'll later! BSS IS THE BEST FROM THE EAST AND TO THE WEST! GOOOOOOOOO BRUINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello. I am a student at Blessed Sacrament School. I just want to say that the website is great. The school is very educational and I love it. That is my comment.

Hey. This school is so AWESOME. I am a student at the school .(Obviously) I love all my teachers and past teachers I've had.

I was in Springfield last week on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. I attended mass on Thursday morning. I really enjoyed watching the school children with your priest in your beautiful church. This brought back memories of when I taught in a cathlolic school. I really miss that time in my life. It is such a rewarding experience teaching in a catholic school. Thank you for the lovely morning.

This is the most awesome school ever. Go here! The teachers are amazing and so is our Scholastic Bowl team. Like i said, this school is amazing as well as the web site. Keep it up.

P.S. I'm an eighth grader in Mrs. Pierce's 2006 class. The pix of the teachers when they were young is the BEST!!!

I am an alumni, grandma, and Basketball fan. Lauren, Luke, and Will Reiser are my special grandkids. Keep up the great work, 7th grade. What an awesome OT win last night. Enjoy the Final Four!

Hi!!!! I used to go to this school in second and third grade. I love the school! I am in 9th grade now and i was just wondering what ever happened to Mrs. Lucas, i had her in 2nd grade... :)

R 8Th GRADE BBALL TEAM IS AWESOME 2nd in state baby! WHOOOO!!!! the fans r Great 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The website looks awesome ... it is an advanced website in comparison to many other schools. You all can be very proud of how you represent the school on the Web.

We miss the BSS family and haven't found the same school spirit since. Brent and all of us would move back in heartbeat. I hope everyone knows how lucky they are have to have such a wonderful school at an incredibly inexpensive price.

Example: Chicago suburbs $250/mo for one child and $550 for 3 or more. Here in Texas is $500 for one child and w/5% discount for siblings it is almost $2000 per month for children at the Catholic Elementary school. So feel very blessed!

Laura,
Thank you for the nice comments about the site. You are all missed here and we wish you the best. We would LOVE your box tops. We have a box tops contest starting very soon. Please specify which grades you want to help!
Sharon Schraeder

Just a short note to say 'thank you' once again to the Builder's Club and their participation in the Shamrock Campaign for the Muscular Dystrophy Association. The Blessed Sacrament Parish community has been one of the strongest supporters of our family and this is just another example of the generous hearts that make the parish a wonderful place to praise God. Thanks so much.

Just would like to say that Mrs. Hanna was a wonderful teacher and she will definitely be missed.

Its been 2 years since I went to BSS but I know one thing hasn't changed, the mature, responsible people who come out of the place. I miss it and will come back to visit sometime!

Hello.
Our Granddaughter Heather Piatchek told us of your site. We are delighted to be able to keep up with what is going on in your school. Our Great Granddaughter, Skie Piatchek, is enrolled at the 2nd grade level in Ms. Bucklin's class. Since we live in Mountain Home, Arkansas, we were not often able to keep in touch with what is happening in Skie's life. We are thrilled to be able to touch base with your site and at the very least keep abreast with what is happening in her environment during the school year.

We look forward to reconnecting and staying in tune with you.

Most Sincerely,

Jill C. Chandler

BSS!!!BSS!!!BSS!!!IS THE BEST!!! Woooo. Congrats to the 8th grade basketball team! I love this website and i appreciate whoever does this! Keep up the good work! Keep in your prayers and remember Mrs. Harris' husband.

I was looking for a place to sign the guestbook. I attended BSS from K(1983) until third grade when my family moved to TN. My brother is an alumni of BSS class of 1982 I think, Charles Schuchardt. (He was a student of Mrs. Mosley's) He is currently serving our country in Kuwait and we would appreciate the prayers of our BSS family during this time of uncertainty. My family has many fond memories of our times at BSS.

Hi. I think this is a very cool website. You guys have a ton of extra-curricular activities. Everyone that works on it obviously has their heart in it. L.L.

I am an eighth grader here at blessed Sacrament and I would like to say thanks to all the teachers that taught me in my 9 years here. I hope all teachers know the great effort they put into us and now we are ready for highschool! Thanks!

Congratulations to all participants in the STATE TRACK MEET! BSS and St. Agnes should be very proud of their continued success! WAY TO GO HAILEE AND BREANNE- STATE CHAMPS! ALSO WAY TO GO OTHERS WHO PARTICIPATED! Just think - you rank among the best in the state of IL! That's quite an accomplishment! Marvelous job.

As a former Scholastic Bowl member, I know how much hard work it takes to have a winning season. Congratulations to this year's team for making it to state! Buzz in early and often!

Date: 04/30/02

Congrats Scholastic Bowl!!! YOU ARE STATE BOUND!!!! HIP HIP HOORAY

How exciting to see my granddaughter Lauren R. wearing a snake boa. I also attended BSS in the 50's and take pride in the fact that my grandchildren are also enjoying the riches of a sound Catholic education. Keep up the good work. Being an educator for 40 years, I fully realize the long hours that your staff puts in each day.

I was very impressed with the bsps website. It was fun, as a parishioner, to learn more about the school and its activities. Megan will be in my prayers, as well as all of you.
I am interested in how the students are doing in math, particularly. Perhaps it would be useful to invite the parish to tune into this website via the church bulletin. It was the mother of some of bs students who clued me in. No doubt, the more bs includes non-school associated parishioners the more support you will have.

Thank you for the prayers. I'm glad you enjoyed the site. There has been mention of the site in some past parish bulletins but it's probably due to be repeated. We always appreciate the support of all our parish members!

IT WOULD BE GREAT IF SOMEONE FIXED THE 2001 IESA REGIONAL CHAMPION'S PLAQUE IN THE TROPHY CASE.. THANK YOU

Date: 02/16/02

Could you please put the pictures student council board took at the beginning of the year on the school camera on the website! and could you at least list the board members there is nothing whatsoever about student council yet builders club has its own section........

Mrs. Senger took those pictures and I did not receive a copy of them. I will be happy to put on the website any information about the student council that you have. I have asked in the past but have never received anything.

The Builders Club secretary helps to keep the Builders Club page current. If someone from the student council would like to do the same I would love to show them how to do it. Please come by the office and see me. Thanks!

Here's a start.... Student Council
(It will be finished when I receive some more information from you.)

Date: 02/16/02

builders club, builders club, builders club. LOL :)
There are other activities in this school, like artclub, scholastic bowl, student council, and many others. How about we talk about them too!!! But- i must add this is a great website- Keep up the groovy work!!!

All groups are encouraged to submit pictures and articles to add to the website. I have requested items from all of the groups that you have mentioned but have not received anything. Please bring pictures and articles to me in the school office. Thanks!

Date: 02/15/02

i'm a student at bss. i would just like to say maybe we should recognize the other teams besides the 8th grade girls. not that i have anything aganist them but the others might feel a little left out.
thanks

How did the 8th grade girls volleyball team ALREADY GET PICTURES ON THIS SITE!??!?!?!?!?! WOWSERS! some teams are still NOT on here, and their seasons done.. lets not direct our attention right to the girls cause they won state..mmk Thanks bye

Like I've said before, I can only put pictures on the website if I am given the pictures to use. Please bring your pictures in to the school office and I will be happy to add them to the website provided that I have the proper permission forms.
~Mrs. Schraeder

the trophy case that was bought for the 8th grade class of 2000 is being over taken by the 7th grade girls' trophy. as a class we find it insulting that because we are not attending bss anymore our spirit and achievements are being brushed aside. when the 7th grade girls won state they should have gotten their own trophy case instead of taking over the one that they 8th grade boys worked so hard to achieve.

My mom went to this school and her name is Becky Evans. If you would like to reach her than please e-mail me and I will give you her e-mail address. Thanks

Hi this Kendra F. in 4th grade and I was looking at the pictures are so neat! Thank you so much for making this awesome web site!

Too bad the 7th grade boys didn't win the Regionals. They played a great game against Christ the King and came pretty close. Good job guys!

Kendra F.

Hi! This is Kendra, in the forth grade. I love this web site, it's so COOL!

i just wanted to say BSS GIRLS YOU ARE AWESOME! we are so proud of you! second is way good enough for us!

Congratulations girls!! I am so very proud of you and the hard work and dedication that it took on your part and on the part of your coaches and parents to go so far and play so well. Being # 2 in the State of Illinois is a great accomplishment. If you live life as well as you have played basketball you will do great things. May God continue to bless you on this journey.

I was just wondering what the date of the 8th grade dance, awards night and graduation are?

Please direct all questions to our email address so that we may answer you directly. I have added the dates of these events to our calendar.

GOOOOOOOOOOO bruins! lets root on the 7th grade boys team!!!!!!! oh and 8th NOBODY COMES TO OUR GAMES!!!

I was just wondering why our school does not make such a big deal about the girls cross country team going to state as they did for the basketball teams? I mean is cross country not as big of deal as basketball? And last year for the track season we had someone from our school WIN state yet there was not barley the amount of attention showed towards her as there was when the basketball teams won state. I think that we need to make sure we are not being unfair to certain teams.

Your comments would be better directed to our athletic director or principal, however, I will pass them on for you. We are very proud of our track and cross-country stars and certainly don't want them to feel slighted.

Another comment on this subject -
I think that people are more interested in basketball because it is more of a spectator sport. Can you name the winners of the track events in the Olympics? How about who won the last NBA Championship?

Why did you take the state cross county pictures off the website?????????????????????

I was as surprised as you were as to where they had gone. They disappeared off the state page - I can't explain it. Sometimes I lose things when I move them around (Don't ask me where my keys are!). I got them back on, though probably not exactly like they were on before. You can find them at http://www.bssbruins.org/Athletics/Cross%20Country/ccstatemeet.htm

Sharon, Just saw the website... excellent job! This is a great asset to the school and parish. Keep up the good work, it is much appreciated. Mike (intense parent of #43)

What a FANTASTIC JOB on the Halloween Carnival Page. The animations are wonderful!!

Just wanted to say that i am very excited to see that Kathi Stapleton and Mary Pohlman will be working at B.S.S. I hope they both love it!

I was wondering the same thing. No one has brought any in to me this year. I want this website to highlight all of our school events but I am unable to attend everything. I rely on others to bring in pictures of the events that I miss. If you have pictures, please scan them in and put them on a disk or bring them in to the school office and I will scan them. It would help if you write a short article about the pictures as well. Thanks. ~Mrs. Schraeder

You must have received our new alumni newsletter. This first issue was a cooperative project by many associated with the school. Look for another issue in November or December.

I'm a visitor, I'm also a former co-worker of principal Mrs. Walker. I was very pleased to hear when Mrs. Walker was hired as principal last summer! I'm certain that she did and will continue to do the best for the parish, the faculty and the students! Best of luck on the upcoming school year and kudos on a great web site!

The class lists will be posted in the school gym on August 11 & 12 after Masses. This is also when back-to-school packets should be picked up.

i would just like to let everyone know that the Incoming 8th grade boys basketball team is 3-1! thats their best start of all time!!!!!!!!!

When are we supposed to get our graduation pictures? some people have already gotten theirs and i don't know where to get mine since the office already closed. also some of us haven't gotten our report cards! Are you just going to mail them to us? thank you! 8th grade student class of 01

Sorry for the confusion. Students were asked to pick up their pictures and report cards in the school office by June 15th. Many students did not so they are being mailed out today (July 12). If you still have not received them, please contact the school office.

We wanted to let everyone with the School Council, The Builders Club, classmates and the whole of the parish community how much it means to us to see the support that was generated for this years "Shamrock" campaign. It was great to see the shamrocks on the wall of the gym as well as throughout the Springfield community. It is for reasons exactly like this that we consider ourselves blessed to be a member of the Blessed Sacrament Parish and fortunate enough to have our children enrolled at the parish school. Thanks for your continued efforts and support. Below is press release from the National program that I wanted to share. Daren Perrero

DONATE A SHAMROCK, HELP FIGHT MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY TUCSON, Ariz., March 8, 2001 - Millions of Shamrocks Against Dystrophy participants will "share the green" in time for St. Patrick's Day and help the Muscular Dystrophy Association. Continuing an 18-year MDA tradition, patrons across the country are each donating $1 to the fight against neuromuscular diseases by buying and signing shamrock mobiles at thousands of supermarkets, convenience stores, restaurants, gas stations and other retailers. The nation's largest charitable campaign associated with St. Patrick's Day, Shamrocks Against Dystrophy in 2000 raised more than $10 million through the efforts of volunteers, participating businesses and donors. "This special campaign provides a marvelous way of supporting MDA's lifesaving research and service programs that benefit families, such as summer camps and clinics," singer/actor Maureen McGovern, national chairperson of Shamrocks Against Dystrophy, said.

Hey BSS!!! sup??? n2m here just letting you know that this is a radical web site and that it is so groovey!! I just want to tell you that I was an 8th grader last year and I think you should put some more pictures up of the 8th graders because I am friends with some of them and they were mad because someone put only the science fair listings and not the history fair entries so that is all I wanted. Bye!!! flower power dude.

I will work on getting the information about the history fair. Pictures of this year's science fair were given to me today (Wed. 3/21) and I will try to add these to the site soon. (Glad you think this website is groovy.) ~ Mrs. Schraeder

Hey BSS!!! I think you need to have Snowflurries again. I don't know if you just haven't had yours this year but I hope you do there is still time!! If you have one I can come in help so I hope you have one soon they are great programs.

I have a question about the pancake and sausage breakfast. can the 8th graders work there for service hours?? Please reply and tell me who to call and if we can. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A volunteer form was sent home to everyone to sign up to help. Call Mrs. Witsman and see if she still needs to fill some spots. Next time - please send me your name and email address so I can send you a direct response.

GREAT JOB TO THE SEVENTH GRADE GIRL FOR WINNING STATE!!!!!!!!!! #1 THE PICTURES FOR EVERYTHING LOOK GREAT MRS. S. GOOD JOB EIGHTH GRADE BOYS

I would just like to say that the history and science fair were a great success. The history fair had many excellent projects. Who ever did the Hawthorn Place did an excellent job. I sincerely think they should go on to regionals. It was on of the best there! :0) They were all outstanding though!

You are right. All of the projects were outstanding! It appears that you are a little biased about the Hawthorn Place project. Too bad you didn't leave a name so that the person who did the project would know who their biggest fan was. :-)

Man! Wish we had Casmir Pulaski day off when we went to school here...;) I do remember getting St. Paddy's day off because of Fr Cassidy..that was cool......Anyway, I hope this year we get a reunion~!:) The website gets better and better each coming week! WTG Sharon Schraeder! :) Woohoo! Congrats to the athletics! You don't get unnoticed, and if any guys are reading this, give my sister Jennifer a big ole hug! HA..she would be so embarrassed.

I really enjoy the site. There is always plenty of new content. I especially want to compliment the site photographer. Maybe the principal or a faculty member can discuss on the site programs being considered or curriculum issues such as the realignment of the social studies.

I love this site. I REALLY want to congratulate the 8th grade IESA Boys Team! They had a GREAT year! Their final record was 17-4! Who Let the Bruins Out? They were on FIRE this year! First the 7th grade IESA Girls won and now the 8th grade IESA Boys won! They SHOULD HAVE WON against Edinburg. I think (MY OPINION ONLY) that it isn't fair that the 8th grade IESA Boys played EDINBURG at EDINBURG with EDINBURG refs! Edinburg, Edinburg, Edinburg! Thank You For Your Time!

Yes, there are more pictures. I can't include most of them because I don't have permission slips from several of the boys.

I am a parent and would like to comment on how great Catholic Schools Week was this year. I've heard only good things about the whole week. Thank you to everyone who helped pull it all together!

Way to go 7th grade girls and keep going 8th grade and two 7th grade boys! By the way, do you know where the design was picked up for the girls shirts? THAT DESIGN IS AWESOME

The shirts were designed by Mrs. Walker. She will be glad to hear you liked them!

I would just like you to know that Michael Wasser not David Wasser is on the IESA 8th Grade Boys Regional champion team! You have it wrong in your Friday letter!!!!!

I am so sorry that I had your name wrong, Michael. I will correct in online and in next week's letter. Sorry!! ~Mrs. Schraeder

Hi. I am an 8th grade student here at Blessed Sacrament and I was just letting you know that I like looking at all of the pictures. I think we should have some pictures of volleyball. We have a great team and I think we should show it. Also I think that the 8th grade boys are GOING ALL THE WAY TO STATE!! WE LOVE EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM NO MATTER IF THEY WIN OR LOSE!!

Please bring some pictures of volleyball in for me and I will scan them in to put on the site. I will TRY to make it to one of your games with the digital camera - but I can't promise you.

Hello. I am a former graduate of BSS and I was in 8th grade with the boys that won state. The trophy case that used to have all their things in it such as the ball, the trophies, and the net, I now see that it has been taken over by the 7th grade girls. I am very happy for those girls but they need to share the trophy case. They shouldn't have it all to their self. I think all people that win state should share that trophy case and not take it over. Thank you for listening to my comments and concerns. Sincerely, concerned graduate of 2000

Don't worry - the boys' trophy is out getting the engraving done. It will be back soon!

As you can see, the trophy is back and occupying its place in the 'wall of champions'. We hope to need a bigger hole in the wall soon!

I am a parent. I love the pictures you continually keep updated. What a great idea to put the teachers picture in. Do you have any of the 7th grade play? Keep up the great work. Thanks.

Congratulations to the 7th grade girls IESA state team! Go Bruins! I think that (if you have time) should get pictures of the boys 8th grade IESA team! They are going to go all the way this year! Nice Site! Keep up the great work!

Comments: Mrs. S.....would you please put BOYS BASKETBALL PICTURES ON THE SITE???????

Most of the pictures that I have on the website are pictures that I have taken at school or during school events. Due to my family commitments, I have not been able to make it to any of the boys' games this year. Do you have some pictures that I can borrow? I would be happy to scan in some pictures to use on the website. In order to use any pictures of students on the site I must make sure that I have parental permission to do so. ~ Mrs. Schraeder

Comments: If the faculty and staff are willing, a photo of each would be a nice addition to the faculty staff page. I've been interested in reading the weekly newsletter "blurbs" about each of the teachers as well. Perhaps you could include those as well. You guys are doing a great job on the web pages. Keep up the good work.

I will check with the teachers and see if they would mind having their pictures posted. We're glad you like the little bios on our teachers. We actually tried to include pictures in the Friday letter but found that they didn't print out very well. Thanks for the feedback, Daren. ~Sharon

Comments: I'm glad you like to see the pictures and enjoy the website. I was waiting for parental permission to publish the baseball pictures on the website. I am not able to publish the team picture but hope you enjoy the pictures that I have included. I will try to get more of our activities photographed. Any pictures that you may have from any other events could be scanned in and used, also. Your suggestions and ideas are always welcome!

Comments: I am a student here at BSS. I absolutely love it here! Mrs. Walker is just GREAT!!! I love all the pictures and I am just wondering if Mrs. Adams has any baseball pictures. I am blessed to be here at Blessed Sacrament. I absolutely think no school can beat us. We are so loaded with extra curricular activities and I just can't say any more GREAT things about BS! But one thing I would love to see pictures of the boys baseball team! I am on it! ~David, 5th Grader

Comments: The website is nice! Who does it anyway? I miss the school sometimes because high school is challenging. You meet new windows and have a different outlook on life.

Comments: Just a visitor!! Was curious about your fundraising, tuition rates and enrollment. We are a small town in Southern IL (Mt. Carmel). We have a prek through 8th grade Catholic School and are trying to change some of the Old Stuff to add some excitement. Please share some of your ideas for Fundraising!! Thanks! and God Bless!

Comment: I really appreciated the message provided with the hyperlink to Report Cards. Whether original or plagiarized I thought it was very good.

Comments: Website Editor: GREAT JOB!!! It is wonderful to have another form of communication (just in case you lose your weekly letter, etc.) We especially loved the great pictures and game recap of "OUR" State champs. Thanks for a wonderful resource and keep up the SUPER job!!! Debbie Cimarossa, Mark Cimarossa's (Grade 4) Mom

Comments: I'm a parent. The site is nice. Came looking to confirm Easter Break - easily found everything I need. Thanks.

Comments: This web site is awesome! I love all the photos. Great job Sharon or whoever keeps this updated!

Comments: WELCOME to our new principal, Mrs. Walker!! Our family looks forward to working with you this upcoming school year. Good luck and you are going to love Blessed Sacrament ... because we do! The Cimarossa Family: Jim (Dad), Debbie (Mom), and Mark (New 5th grader) and Nick (who goes to school in Terre Haute, Indiana).

Great to see the championship game news and pix, especially so soon. The boys played with a focus and maturity that was exciting to watch. More importantly, they played as a TEAM. I am very happy that they, and those BSS fans who witnessed their pursuit of this goal, have this memory to keep. I'm certain that the men who coached this team, who have put in all the hours that they have, are so proud they could pop. They deserve to be. I don't thank God for this victory, but I do thank him for the elation and pride that this team allowed Blessed Sacrament to feel.

What I think is that this is a wonderful resource for many people but not if it isn't kept up to date! There is not anything regarding music and it looks like this web site has been here for a while!

Congratulations Blessed Sacrament 8th Grade Boys Basketball team! You're the greatest. I'm proud of have gone to Blessed Sacrament. Say hello to my mom, Mrs. Harris!

Love the pictures. They were great...especially with Ashley, Alecia, Becca and that Kim girl. Really enjoyed watching the great 8th grade B-ball team win the State title, especially A.G. Great sportsmanship and great team players.

Hey Sharon, Great job! Your hard work is greatly appreciated. This web site is fantastic. You go, girl!

Comments

we can see what the 7th , 8th , and 1st grade are doing what about the rest. I would like to see more educational things and less sports.

I agree that we need to see more activities that are going on in each classroom. I LOVE the pictures from the state tournament games. These have drawn a lot of visitors to this site that wouldn't have checked it out otherwise.
