Volunteer

Blessed Sacrament Catholic School is a close community of parents, students, teachers and staff who work together to make the school a welcoming environment for everyone. BSCS is blessed with a high level of parent involvement at the PSA level, as leaders of major fundraising efforts, on fields trips, as classroom volunteers, and more! Our parent volunteers help make the school a fun environment for everyone.
Parent-School Association (PSA)
BSCS Parent and School Association
The mission of Blessed Sacrament Catholic School’s Parent and School Association (PSA) is to partner with the pastor, principal, faculty, and parents to support the spiritual and academic excellence of our school. This is achieved through volunteerism, community development, parent education, faculty and classroom support, and fundraising. The PSA will help coordinate and mobilize the resources within the school community (using our collective time, talent, and treasure) to support the goals of the school, to organize events, and to respond to evolving needs within the community.
The BSCS Parent & School Association is composed of school leaders and parent/guardians who come together on a regular basis to discuss upcoming school events, strengthen fellowship, seek opportunities for participation and involvement within the Blessed Sacrament community, openly share ideas and build plans to achieve goals set forth by school leadership.
