We Pray for Monsignor Jerry Lewis
Monsignor Gerald Lawrence Lewis, a priest of the Diocese of Raleigh for 63 years, died Monday, Dec. 16, 2024 at his home in Raleigh. He was 92. The Lewis Award, honoring Catholic school educators in the diocese, was initiated in 1992 in his honor. In 2002 he received the Order of the Long Leaf Pine award, North Carolina’s highest civilian honor, for his significant contributions to the state. Mrs. Gomez and Mrs. Champion were recipients of the Lewis Award.

BSS Give Back Week-December 11th - 18th
Each year, our school takes one week in December to give back to our community. We make sure each grade level has a special project and students are involved in every step of the project. Students make or assemble gifts and then deliver them to their recipients! We will transform our SmartLabs into Santa's Workshops for the month of December in order to create our gifts. Below are pictures of students delivering the gifts to our neighbors.

BSS Give Back Week: del 11 al 18 de diciembre 📚 Semana de Donación Navideña
Cada año, nuestra escuela se toma una semana en diciembre para contribuir a nuestra comunidad. Nos aseguramos de que cada nivel de grado tenga un proyecto especial y que los estudiantes participen en cada paso del proyecto. ¡Los estudiantes hacen o ensamblan regalos y luego los entregan a sus destinatarios! Transformaremos nuestros SmartLabs en Talleres de Papá Noel durante el mes de diciembre para poder crear nuestros regalos. En la parte de arriba se muestra fotos de estudiantes donando los regalos navideños a nuestros vecinos.

Opportunity Scholarships for Families who were waitlisted
BSS families who applied for an NC Opportunity Scholarship last February for the first time, and were waitlisted for falling into Tier 2, 3 & 4, were just offered a scholarship, as the NCGA just passed a law (HB10) and released extra funding for those families! If you are one of those families, you must accept the scholarship by December 27. Blessed Sacrament School will start the certification for retroactive Fall award endorsements on January 6th. We will reach you if BSS will be owing you a refund for tuition payments already made.
Contact Mr. Rico if you have questions about this process.
