Simple Ways to Help….
You wouldn’t BELIEVE the difference it makes!
SBA Eagle Bucks Gift Card Program The SBA Eagle Bucks Program allows you to earn money for our school programs while shopping! Just buy your gift cards from us! They will make GREAT Christmas gifts! To place your order, you can fill out the form on our website sbaeagles.org or you can stop by the office for a form. We have many gift cards in stock in the office, but orders are placed on a weekly basis. SBA receives a percentage of the sale of the gift card.
Kroger Community Rewards If you shop at Kroger, you more than likely have a Kroger Plus card on your keychain. If you go to Kroger.com and create an account using your Plus number, you can select St. Benedict at Auburndale as your Community Rewards Program organization of choice. A portion of every shopping trip you make using your Kroger Plus card will then go to SBA!
Target REDcard Program Target’s Take Charge of Education Program donates millions of dollars to education each year by giving 1% of your purchases at Target back to your eligible school. Please designate SBA as your school of choice for their Take Charge of Education program. It is easy and very effective. Apply in the store or go online to Target.com/tcoe.
Coke Rewards for Schools Program Purchase your favorite Coca-Cola products to get the codes. Go to mycokerewards.com/school and sign in or register to become a member. Enter your codes to get points and then search for our school to donate points. St. Benedict can accumulate points and then choose items for our classrooms from their online catalog.
For more information on any of these easy ways to help SBA, please contact the Development Office at 260-2892 or email regisl@sbaeagles.org. Every bit counts and it all adds up, so thank you for your participation in any of these programs that benefit our school.

NEW STUDENT REFERRAL PROGRAM 2015-2016 We are excited to announce our New Student Referral Program! Many of our families initially hear about St. Benedict at Auburndale through a personal referral from an existing school family. We want to express our appreciation to those who help in encouraging new families with similar values, commitment, and priorities to apply to SBA. Through our New Student Referral Program, families can receive a $100 tuition credit for every new family referred to SBA for the 2015-2016 academic school year. Here’s how it works: • • •
•
•
•
The New Student Referral Program is open to all parents or legal guardians* with students enrolled at St. Benedict at Auburndale High School. Tuition credit awards will be given for referring new families to the school. To qualify for the incentive: o Referred students cannot be a sibling of a student currently or previously enrolled in St. Benedict at Auburndale. o The referred student cannot have an application on file with the Office of Admissions. o Referrals must be acknowledged during the initial contact with the school. o New students must meet standard enrollment criteria, be admitted, and be enrolled in the school for at least 30 days. To receive tuition credit, the referring family must ensure that the prospective family submits the New Student Referral Form included in the New Student Application Packet or online at sbaeagles.org/admissions. Tuition credits will be applied to the referring family in October 2015 for students starting at the beginning of the 2015-2016 school year. Credits for students starting after October 2015 will be applied one month following the start date of the referred family. Families, who paid their tuition in full, making referrals, will receive an incentive check equal to the amount of the tuition credit.
The New Student Referral Program is subject to review and modification. Interpretation of program parameters will be at the discretion of the Principal. * SBA employees are not eligible to participate

Experience a distracted drive while using a cell phone. See how reaction times decrease during a simulated drive under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Drivers may be pulled over for a minor traffic violation, experience a DUI checkpoint, or be engaged in a fatal crash as a result of their impairment. The video is shot in first person, allowing the driver to experience the consequences as if you are going through the process yourself.
