Community of Caring Quilt – Auction Item for Springfest 2012!

The Community of Caring quilt is a masterpiece created by the entire student body at Blessed Sacrament Catholic School during art class. The project was a cross curriculum exercise with visual art and our Character Education program in partnership with the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Center for Community of Caring.

Students PK - 3^rd Grade each created a quilt square with their name and handprint.  Our PK students also wrote their favorite core value - caring, sharing, family, respect, and responsibility on their square.

Students 4^th -8^th Grades focused on their family and heritage, and diversity at Blessed Sacrament School.  Our school is a We teach “Unity in Diversity,” with a diverse group of students:  

·         76% Caucasian and 24% Ethnically Diverse

·         75% Catholic and 25% Religiously Diverse

This diversity and respect for each other can be seen in the individual quilt squares. We teach our students to respect others, but first they have to learn to respect themselves. Part of respecting themselves is learning to be proud of who they are, and sharing their heritage with others with pride.

The quilt also includes 8 religious symbols reinforcing faith formation. 

The quilt size is approximately 10’ x 12’ and is totally hand-sewn and hand-tied by Celestina Tazzer, an alumni grandparent, classes of 2000, 2002, 2003, and 2005.

This quilt is truly an heirloom to be treasured forever.
