Announcements & Reminders

  • Halloween Appreciation

    What a spook-tacular success! A HUGE thank you to our amazing Halloween Carnival Committee, Sandra Espinoza, Jessica Rodriguez, Priscilla Richter, Erika Lechuga, Larry Espinoza, Patricia Martinez, Regina Carmona, Anita Gutierrez, Melissa Villarreal, Deacon Paul Cardenas, and our incredible Homeroom Parents for making this year’s carnival a frightfully fun experience for our Bulldog families! From the planning and preparation to all the games, activities, and festive fun, your time, creativity, and dedication made it all possible. We are so grateful for the volunteers who go above and beyond to make our school community shine. You made this event a real treat, and we couldn’t have done it without you!

  • Halloween Costumes

    For Halloween (Friday, October 30th), students will be able to come to school in costume so long as they follow the guidelines: (1) Costume Masks and Make-Up May Be Worn So Long as It Does Not Disrupt Behavior, (2) Students Must Be Able to Go to the Bathroom Without Assistance in Taking Off Their Costume, and (3) Weapon Accessories (Knives, Guns, Swords, etc.) May NOT be Brought to Campus. Additionally, it must be an actual costume and not look like a "Free Dress Day". Students may also elect to come to school in their School Uniform or wear their Día de los Bulldog T-Shirt (Past and Present Years) with Blue Jeans and Tennis Shoes.

  • Light the Way

    Brainpower Schools have once again been invited to sing at the opening of Light the Way on Saturday, November 21. 2026, at the University of the Incarnate Word. The choir is open to students in 2nd Grade through 8th Grade. Practices will be held before school, during school, and after school throughout October and November with a detailed schedule distributed in the near future. At this time, we are kindly soliciting for interest so that we may inform UIW if Blessed Sacrament will be performing this year. If your student is interested, please complete our Light the Way Interest Form.
