Dolphin Days

October 29, 2026

Monday, November 2 Winter Uniform begins.

Dear Most Blessed Sacrament Families,

As a Catholic school community, we are blessed with the opportunity each day to help our students grow not only academically, but also in their relationship with Jesus Christ. Our mission at Most Blessed Sacrament Catholic School is rooted in developing the whole child through faith, knowledge, service, and love. Through daily prayer, religion instruction, participation in the sacraments, service opportunities, and the example of our dedicated faculty and staff, we strive to strengthen each student's Catholic identity and help them live out the values of the Gospel both in and beyond the classroom.

Beginning the week of November 2, we will start our second round of Renaissance testing. We use these assessment results to better understand each student's individual strengths and areas for growth so that we can thoughtfully plan instruction that best meets their needs. It is important that our students give their very best effort during testing so that we have a true picture of each learner's progress and can continue supporting their academic success.

We are very excited for our Spirit Day and Halloween Parade on Friday, October 30. These traditions bring joy, school spirit, and a sense of community to our school family. We wish all of our students and families a fun, safe, and happy Halloween weekend.

Thank you for your continued support of our students, faculty, staff, and school. Your partnership is essential to the success of our mission, and we are grateful for the trust you place in us each day. As always, my door is open. I am available to conference, listen, and work together to ensure the continued success and well-being of every child at Most Blessed Sacrament Catholic School.



May God continue to bless you and your families.

In Christ,

Mr. David P. Stofa

Principal

Most Blessed Sacrament Catholic School
