Salad Bar in Dining Hall There is a major problem with the cooling unit in the Dining Hall serving area that cools the salad bar. The problem requires a major and time-consuming overhaul. Because of this issue starting on Tuesday, April 19th, there will not be a salad bar during lunch for the rest of the year. The Dining Staff will prepare some salads in containers (some medium and some large) and ice them down for each lunch. They will still be sold at the same prices as before. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Extra Graduation Invitations We’ve had some families turn in extra Graduation Invitations – we’ll sell them in bundles on 10 for $11.00 a bundle. Please make check payable to: SBA. Please email Mrs. Morris (morriss@sbaeagles.org) if you are interested.
Spring Sports Senior Night All senior athletes who participate in spring sports will be recognized between the JV and Varsity baseball games against MUS on Wednesday, April 27. We will host a social event for families of spring sport athletes in our new baseball fieldhouse between 5:00 and 7:00 PM. All spring sport athletes and their families will gather at 5:45 on the concrete patio on the east side of the fieldhouse to be introduced before the Varsity game. We hope that all families of spring sport athletes are able to attend. All student-athletes are encouraged to fill out the Senior Night form in their religion class and turn it in before Thursday, April 21. Please remind them to mark “No” if they do not plan to attend to avoid unnecessary expenses. The Senior Night form can be found on the school website for your convenience (http://www.sbaeagles.org/formspolicies). Forms can also be faxed to (901)260-2851 or emailed to cervettid@sbaeagles.org. Game passes will be available for all family members of senior athletes. We look forward to seeing you at Senior Night 2011!

Call Your Senator!! We received the following request from the Catholic Schools Office‌
ALERT: PLEASE CALL YOUR SENATOR ASK YOUR SENATOR TO VOTE FOR SB 485 SB 485 EQUAL OPPORTUNITY SCHOLARSHIP On April 21st the TN Senate will be voting on SB485 known as the "Equal Opportunity Scholarship Bill". This important legislation will allow low income families in Memphis, Nashville, Knoxville and Chattanooga to receive scholarships so their children can attend the public, independent, parochial or charter school of their choice. The public school where the student is assigned will continue receiving half of the normal funding with the other half follows the student to the school of their choice. In order to receive this scholarship, students must be qualified for a free or reduced price lunch program. In other states that have passed similar legislation, such as Florida, this competition for students has caused public schools to improve while providing educational choices for those families who could not otherwise afford them.
