Getting Ready for the Used Uniform Sale The annual Used Uniform Sale for SBA families is coming up on Saturday, June 2. The Used Uniform Sale is a great way for new families to catch great deals on gently used SBA uniform items. It’s also a way for “graduating” families to pass their uniform items on and make a little cash! Complete details are included in a separate article in today’s Monday Mail, so be sure to check that out. Special thanks to JoAnn Card who is heading up this year’s sale. Watch next week’s Monday Mail for volunteer sign-up info for this event.

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 special gift 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. Amy Iovinelli, SBA Project Graduation Committee Chair, 901.849.9644 amyiov6@gmail.com
St Benedict Project Graduation Rules & Permission Form SBA Project Graduation (PG) is held on the night of graduation at Incredible Pizza from 11:30 pm-5:00 am. Incredible Pizza is located at 1245 Germantown Parkway Cordova, 309-3132. The purpose of SBA Project Graduation is to have a drug and alcohol-free evening of fun and fellowship one last time. RULES: If graduate arrives and is suspected to be “under the influence” (either alcohol or drugs) and the student fails a Breathalyzer test, the parents will be called and the student will not be admitted to Project Graduation regardless of the paid admission. ▪
We strongly suggest that parents drop off their students and pick them up due to the long hours of fun, they will be very tired.
▪

Check-in is between 11:15 pm - 12:00 am. No one will be able to enter after 12:00 am.
▪
No backpacks or large bags. All items brought must be checked in. The less students bring with them the better. Storage is limited.
▪
No one will be allowed to leave early without a signed parental form. If a student has permission to leave, a parent will be notified and the student will not be allowed to re-enter. Students will not be eligible for door prizes if they leave early.
▪
There will be food and drink provided all night long.

PG ends at 5:00 am. If a student does not feel capable driving home, please notify any of the chaperones and we will call a parent to come pick-up him/he.
