Parent Teacher Organization (PTO)

Blessed Sacrament’s Parent/Teacher Organization (PTO) is the catalyst for many of our annual events and traditions. Parents, teachers, and administrators work together through this organization to raise money for the school, host events for the students and their families, support teachers, and address important shared issues.

The PTO meets the 3rd Wednesday of every month in the school library. We invite parents to attend and encourage regular participation.

2025-2026 PTO Officers:

President – Megan Sustar
Vice President – Stacey Ripperda
Treasurer – Ro-Chia Sun
Secretary – Amanda Black

- “There is no school with a greater love for its students than Blessed Sacrament. Each of our children is truly seen and made to feel that they are an important part of the school community. Blessed Sacrament provides a solid foundation of empathy, altruism, and accountability that you cannot find at just any school. There is no question that we chose the best school in the area for our children’s PK-8 education.”
  
  Megan and Niraj Shah, parents
- “Christ is alive at Blessed Sacrament! I have never witnessed so much love between all ages before. It’s truly a family.”
  
  Laura and Trevor Sondag, parents
- “I couldn’t imagine a better start to my academic career than Blessed Sacrament. Each teacher truly cared about every student and pushed us all to do our best. I felt completely prepared for high school and will continue to rely on the skills learned at Blessed Sacrament as I begin law school in the fall.”

- “I love the atmosphere around me. I can really feel the love for education from my fellow teachers as well as our principal, Ms Hatch. The school feels like one big family and I am proud to be a part of it.”
  
  Kendyl Santos, teacher
- “There are many different things that make Blessed Sacrament a special place. From a faculty that knows all of the kids by name to the big kids pushing the little kids on the swings at recess, this is not your average school. A family atmosphere combined with a challenging academic program, we’ve been very happy with our choice of schools.”
  
  Heather and Tom Desmond, parents
- “I fell in love with computer design and 3D printing in my 8th grade STEM class at Blessed Sacrament. I’m now looking into architecture and engineering programs in college, and see the same technology on my college tours as we used in grade school. I’m so thankful for the amazing teachers and STEM opportunities I had at Blessed Sacrament!”
