SBA Uniform Information In order to help out some of our new SBA families, SBA has created two Uniform Guideline Videos (one for boys and one for girls) to help demonstrate what is and is not acceptable to wear to school. These videos have been posted to our website at www.sbaeagles.org/uniforms.
Summer Reading Information The first day of classes is almost upon us. All students are required to read one summer reading book from the REQUIRED list for their grade level that can be found on our website (www.sbaeagles.org/summerreading). Students will be tested on their summer reading book on Monday, August 22nd. This test will be preceded by classroom discussions so it is imperative that all students have completed this reading assignment before the start of school.
MBS Bookstore The MBS Bookstore officially opened online on July 7th. Make sure that you have begun the process of ordering books for your student. Students are expected to have books on the first day of classes, August 11th. The link to MBS Online Bookstore can be found in the “Quicklinks� menu on the school website (www.sbaeagles.org).

1 Friday Adoration Volunteers are needed to take 30 minute to 1 hour shifts to Pray in the SBA chapel on the First Friday of each month, excluding school holidays. Ideally, we hope to have 2 people per shift. The shifts begin at 7:30am and end with the 2:00pm (which goes until 2:40pm). This beautiful tradition of our Catholic faith allows us to sit in silent prayer before our Lord who is present in the Holy Eucharist and lift up the needs of our SBA faculty, staff, students, alumni, and those connected to the SBA family.
Psalm 46:10‌..Be still and know that I am God. If you are interested in this gift of yourself through Prayer at SBA please contact Cathy MacDonald at candbmacdonald@comcast.net, or by phone at 901-7514218 or 901-674-0032 (cell). First Friday Adoration begins with Friday, September 2nd, 2011.
