Congratulations to Our PRIZE WINNERS!!!

Home & School would like to thank all the SBA families who have already made their annual $40 contribution to the organization. As announced prior to the start of school, a special prize drawing was held for those who paid Home & School dues by the end of SOAR Day. Now we are excited to announce the following WINNERS:

Amanda Golightly is the winner of $50 in Eagle Café Bucks Maria Dlabaj is the winner of $50 in Spirit Shop Bucks Congratulations to the winners and THANK YOU for supporting Home & School! We look forward to more prize drawings throughout the year. Be sure your Home & School dues are paid so you don’t miss the chance to win!

It’s Not Too Late to Pay Your Home & School Dues…

One of the best things about Home & School is that we provide dozens of outstanding events and programs for SBA students, faculty and staff, yet we don’t fundraise. Instead, we request a $40 donation per family to help with all the special activities Home & School coordinates and supports throughout the school year. Families may make their $40 donation online by using the following link: sbaeagles.org/home-and-school-online-membership.

Watch for more information on the great programs and events that are made possible through your $40 dues. You can also learn more at the first Home & School meeting of the school year, coming up on Tuesday, September 11 at 8:00 a.m. in the Faculty Dining Hall.
