SENIOR PARENTS, Please Make a Note of These Dates Each spring, Home & School coordinates a number of special events for our senior families.

These “SBA traditions” are a cherished part of our seniors’ final semester in high school—and it’s Home & School’s honor to make them happen. If your son or daughter is a senior, be sure to mark these dates on your calendar and watch for official e-vites in the coming months: • Sunday, April 22 - Mother & Daughter Tea @ Memphis Botanic Garden • Sunday, April 22 – Father & Son Outing @ Andy B’s in Bartlett

Edward Bloom has lived a full and fantastical life, populated by witches, giants, and mermaids, marked by true love that stops time in its tracks, and framed by heroics that push the limits of believability. His adult son, Will, is no longer amused by his father’s fantastical tales, insisting on a rational rather than a fantastical account of one’s life. When Edward’s health declines, and Will learns that he and his wife, Josephine, will have a son of their own, Will decides to find out his father’s “true” life story, once and for all. Big Fish is a heartfelt, powerful, and truly magical musical about fathers, sons, and the stories that we use to define our identities. With exciting and beautiful music and lyrics by Andrew Lippa, and a funny, heartwarming book by John August, Big Fish is a magnificent “big fish” of a tale, itself -- spectacular, fantastical, and overflowing with love. (StageAgent.com) Big Fish showcases the wonderful talents of Aris Federman (Ed), Marc Anthony Marconi/Joseph Zazarra (Will), Somer Smith/Sarah Hovanec (Sandra), Alyssa Williams/Zoe Nunn (Jenny Hill), Teryco Bolden/Josh Hamann (Karl), Zach Crawford/Andrew Barczak (Amos), Karen Benedict/Erin Bargiachi (Jospehine), and the fantastic Ensemble: Colin Zazarra, Zandar Card, Sydnei Sutton, Hayes Golightly, Jacob Kersting, Heather Mize, Brianna Jones, Meredith Brown, Breeana Shelton, Lauren Haygood, LaResha Gregory, Christina Rochette, Rachel Hosp, Emma Van Eps, Penny Rosenberg, Alex Miller, Sarah Mercer, Adam Brigance, Maya Keith, Drew Jones, Lance Jamais, Patrick Flynn, Carlo Casama, Jessica Foster, Emma Twele, Lucy Garry, Emylee Enright, Tori Capadona, Mary Huddleston, Abby Simpson, Lily Hogan, Zoie Couch, Molly McDonald, Cheyenne Sanders, Sarah Montgomery, and Alexa Pangonas.

SBA Project Graduation 2017-2018

Dear St. Benedict at Auburndale Parents: Saturday, May 12, 2018 is Graduation for St. Benedict seniors. 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 games-there is something for everyone. Each child receives a goodie bag valued at over $150 as well as super door prizes that have included 32-inch flat screen TV’s, Microwaves and Gift Cards to name a few. It will also be the last time they will all be together as a group.

We’re 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. If you have underclassmen, please contact the project chair for volunteer opportunities. Also, we encourage you to consider co-chairing Project Graduation next year.

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
