SBA Project Graduation 2020-2021 Dear St. Benedict at Auburndale Parents: A tradition for the St. Benedict seniors is a drug and alcohol free “lock-in” given by the senior parents. Over 95% of our seniors participate each year and they have a wonderful time. We rent out Incredible Pizza and they have unlimited play time, as well as unlimited pizza, drinks and snacks. Whether your child loves go-karts, bowling, putt-putt, laser tag or lots of video gamesthere is something for everyone. Each senior receives a goodie bag valued at over $100 as well as super door prizes that have included 32-inch flat screen TV’s, Yetis and Gift Cards to name a few.

Ticket price is $150 for those who pay now. The ticket price increases to $175 after Dec 18, 2020. The SBA Project Graduation committee also hosts a “Trivia Night” in order to raise money to provide a fun-filled night for our graduating seniors, to keep them safe and off the streets on graduation night.

Our Project Graduation committee needs your help in a variety of ways.

The Trivia Night is Saturday, Feb 20 at 6:30 pm in the SBA Dining Hall. We would like to invite you to be a part of this fun-filled night as a sponsor, volunteer or player. Trivia Night is an event that involves a competition of many teams of “experts” on various subjects. It is a competition that requires teams to answer ten rounds of ten questions about anything from science to nonsense.

We are also looking for parents of freshmen, sophomores and juniors to get involved with Project Graduation to keep this wonderful tradition going in order that the future years maintain the success level we have experienced. We need several parents to volunteer during the event.

On behalf of St. Benedict Project Graduation, we appreciate your help. Donations are tax deductible, and we would also like to offer our sponsors complimentary notice in our SBA Annual Report.

Again, thank you for your support of this important event. SENIOR PARENTS, BE SURE TO SEND IN YOUR STUDENT’S RESERVATION AND PAYMENT! Sincerely, Amy Iovinelli SBA Project Graduation Committee Chair 901.849.9644 amyiov6@gmail.com

• All students, faculty, staff, and guests are required to wear a mask while in the Eagle Café.

• All MMI team members wear an approved face covering, apron, and nitrile gloves during the preparation and service of meals.

• All meal-service activities and seating options comply with the appropriate social distancing guidelines.

• We provide directional signage and management to support safe and expeditious traffic flow.

• Hand sanitizer is available to all students, faculty, staff, and guests throughout the cafeteria.

• Meal service utensils and condiments are single-use.

• All self-serve food and beverage stations are employee attended service.

• Students are able to swipe their Student ID at the register rather than key in their ID. This helps prevent the spread of germs and speed up the flow of traffic.

This helps with preventing the spread of germs and speed up the flow of traffic.
