SBA Annual Fund Phone-A-Thon To help us reach our participation goal for the Annual Fund, we will be conducting a phone-a-thon in April and reaching out to those families who have not yet participated. We think that with our challenge of $25 for 25 years, this task will be fun and easy. If you have not yet given to the SBA Annual Fund, we ask you to please consider a gift. Our Annual Fund is vital to our school and every dollar counts. You can give online at www.sbaeagles.org/donate or you can send your donation in to the front office. Thank you so much!
Vote for SBA! First Tennessee Bank is celebrating it's 150th Anniversary and beginning on March 25th, the First Tennessee Foundation will give away $5,000 a day for 150 days to non-profits that they have been associated with over the last 6 years. THIS INCLUDES US. We have to VOTE though. You can vote daily from TWO devices, so please click the link on your computer and on your phone or tablet. We can vote each day through the end of the celebration, which is August 21st. You can actually vote for TEN non-profits each time if you want to - the list is LONG.

West Side Story Book by Arthur Laurents, music by Leonard Bernstein, and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim This 1957 Tony Award-winning musical, that spawned a 1961 Academy Award-winning film, transformed Broadway and the world with its iconic songs, haunting score, soaring dance routines and uplifting message. Inspired by impeccable source material, William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, the story centers on a racial and territorial conflict on the streets of New York between two rival gangs: the Jets and the Sharks. While their friends and family battle each other an their own prejudices, a "starcross'd" couple with stark cultural differences, Maria and Tony, find each other and an unlikely love amidst the chaos. The SBA production will stay true to the original masterpiece, while attempting to augment the story by featuring some average New Yorkers in the cast who get caught up in the rage-filled world of these rival gangs. "When people are blinded by hate, everyone suffers, even innocent bystanders, so we want to show the larger world of New York a little, outside of the characters everyone knows," said director Ryan Kathman.
