Interest-based Learning: Our Romans 12 Program
-
Since we have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us exercise them.- Romans 12:6

-
At Blessed Sacrament School, we believe that each child has been given unique, God-given gifts and talents. Our Romans 12 program provides dedicated time each week for students to explore their own interests, talents, and passions. We provide weekly, intentional time for students to research, create, invent, or explore any subject they wish. Students choose what they want to learn, make, or do!
In addition, our "Crusader Clubs" are in-school groups that connect students from different grades with a staff member around a common interest, such as art, gardening, comic books, and more.

Student Highlight: Wesley Jones
For his project, Wesley designed and built his own lego structure (a prison) from scratch. But he's not stopping at just the building process. He's photographing the construction process and will be creating his own instructional guide - just like you'd find in a store-bought Lego set - so others can recreate his design.

2nd Grade Project: Blessing Bags
The second grade class decided a talent they all can share is giving to others in service. The connected with the Look Up Center in Newark and began creating Blessing Bags. They collected items such as toothbrushes, tooth past, snacks and water. They also made cards telling the recipients how much they are loved by God. Finally, they walked to the Look Up Center and hand delivered the bags.
