BLESSED SACRAMENT HOSTS LEADERSHIP DAY
On May 12, 2011 our school hosted its first Leadership Day. Over 50 educational and community leaders, including the Mayor of Quincy, attended the celebration of Blessed Sacrament’s student leaders. All 152 students held leadership roles for this event. The day started off with student greeters and escorts who led our guests to the gym for a complimentary breakfast. Guests were adopted by classrooms and attended our Leadership Mass. Following Mass, students held the Morning Assembly. Escorts gave tours of the school, while classroom guides showcased what student leaders had achieved this past year. The guests were treated to a lunch in the gym where they had the opportunity to talk to members of the Student Leadership Committee. Following lunch, our guests watched lessons containing the Covey Quality Tools and use of the Habit Language. The day ended with presentations from the Leadership Council, parents and teachers about how the Habits have affected our school in such a positive manner.
This day is part of a process that Blessed Sacrament has working towards – becoming a “Lighthouse Leader School”. Presently there are only fifteen Lighthouse schools in the nation. It is our hope that we could become the first Catholic Lighthouse School in the nation. We hope to find out in June if we have achieved this status.
Blessed Sacrament Catholic School was designated a “Leader In Me” school by FranklinCovey, Inc. in 2010 for its implementation of the “7 Habits” with emphasis on student leadership.
