Looking Ahead to the New School Year: Consider Volunteering with Home & School SBA’s Home & School Association is able to serve our school’s families, faculty and staff through the work of many volunteers. At the end of the current school year, we’ll be saying goodbye to a number of parents who have been valuable members of our volunteer team for a number of years—making this a great time for new parents to get involved! If you would like to know more about Home & School and the organization’s various volunteer needs, the next group meeting will provide a perfect opportunity to get more information.

SBA Project Graduation 2019 Dear SBA 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 game. There 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. It will also be the last time they will all be together as a group. Ticket price is $175.

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

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.

BE SURE TO SEND IN YOUR STUDENT’S RESERVATION AND PAYMENT of $175 payable to SBA Project Graduation Sincerely, Amy Iovinelli, SBA Project Graduation Committee Chair, 901.849.9644 amyiov6@gmail.com
