About Me
Hi! My name is Gavin Michelli, and 2022-2023 will be my second year teaching at Most Blessed Sacrament. Before coming to MBS, I was an illustrator and graphic designer with companies such as DIG Magazine, Lamar Advertising, Squared Circle Comics, Octagon Media and many others. In my art class, I like to emphasize the kinds of art that your kids will encounter in the real world - cartooning, caricature, graphic design and illustration - along with more traditional subject matter, to show your kids that art exists not just in textbooks and galleries, but in their daily lives. If you have any questions, concerns, or just want to say hello, you can get in touch with my by emailing gmichelli@mbsbr.org

Please note that many of the lessons have a parent letter explaining the grade-level content. Parent letters will be sent home. The information in the parent letters is meant to be discussed between parents and students at home. The parent letter will not be discussed in class. Some lessons require a parent to sign and return the letter or activity page for documentation.
Parents have the right to opt their children out of receiving Safe Environment training. If you choose not to have your child participate in the training, it is required that you sign and submit the Circle of Grace Opt-out form for grades K-8 to Roslyn Landry in the Office of Child Protection by Thursday, August 11, 2022.
Please email childprotection@mbsbr.org to request an opt-out form.
*Please note that opt-out forms will not be accepted after August 11, 2022. *
