Class Giving Drive To wind down our first ever Parent Giving Drive to benefit the SBA Annual Fund, we are offering grade level participation incentives during the month of October and possibly into November. Every week, we will email a class participation percentage report, and every Friday, the incentives for each class will be granted. You can watch the participation levels rise all month on the new banner out front! The report is also posted online under the "Support SBA" tab of our website. Thank you so much to those that have already given to our Annual Fund through the Parent Giving Drive, and if you have not already participated, we hope you will consider a gift now. No gift is too small and all gifts are appreciated. While we would love for our parents to consider a gift of $200 or more, PARTICIPATION is always our goal! You can give online now by copying and pasting the following address www.sbaeagles.org/donate or you can send your payment in to school with your student. They can turn it in to their Theology teacher or to the front office. If you have any questions or would like to discuss payment options, or any other type of giving, please call the Development Office at 260-‐2892. A few important things to know about the Class Giving Incentives : • If you have given to SBA since July 1, 2014 – IT COUNTS! Your gift is included in the thermometer percentages attached. • If you have more than one SBA student – your gift is applied to EACH of your children's class percentage numbers. • If your student/s class earns an incentive the week of Fall Break – your incentive will be granted on Thursday, October 9, since we will not be in school on the 10th. • If your student/s class earns an incentive the week of "Be An Eagle for the Day" Shadow Day – your incentive will be granted on Thursday, October 23, so that we are all in uniform for our guests on the 24th.

Wednesday, November 12 is the 1 Signing Day for Student-Athletes Signing in 2014-15 and Enrolling in College in 2015-16
Each year we get to celebrate the success of our students in so many ways. Some of our student/athletes even get to "sign" with a college. And when they do, it's always been fun to have family and friends - and cake. We follow the NCAA National of Letter of Intent (NLI) Signing Dates Calendar to recognize these athletes. The dates for this year: November 12, February 4 and April 15. The signing “parties” are held immediately after school on those dates in the front foyer outside the main office. November 12 is our first signing day this year and is an early signing for all sports, particularly basketball. Students and/or parents should contact their coach and Sports Information Director Sharon Masterson at mastersons@sbaeagles.org; 260-2871, to set up a signing party.
Wrestling Team to Sell Pink Lanyards Just a reminder that the wrestling team will be selling pink lanyards on October 28 during lunch’s. The cost will be $6.00 and of that, $1.00 will be a donation to the Wings Foundation.
Service Opportunity CCM is sponsoring a Monster Mash Dance for SFA 4th and 5th graders, on Friday October 24, in the PLC gym; and they need some student or adult volunteers to help them pull it off. SBA has a game that night, but they are hoping that they might get 10 to15 students to help them with their dance from 6:00-10:00 p.m. This would be a win-win situation because they would have lots of great help to keep the younger kids safe and our SBA students would get 4 service hours. To volunteer: rosemary.tolbert@yahoo.com Â

YES on 1 Most of you have probably heard of AMENDMENT 1 which is on the Nov. 4 ballot in our state. Tennessee’s three Catholic Bishops have publicly come out in support of this Amendment and have urged the institutions in their Dioceses to inform voting citizens about the Amendment. Currently, Tennessee is the 3rd largest abortion-‐destination state in the U.S. with very little or no regulations on abortion centers. Amendment 1 will provide more regulations and move our state away from the abortion-‐destination distinction and in line with most others. The “Yes on 1” effort is a community-‐based outreach to raise awareness of this constitutional amendment. They have a very informative web site, www.yeson1.org that gives information on the amendment, its language and all that voters will need to be informed as they go to the polls in a couple of weeks. As a Catholic School of the Diocese of Memphis, we want to share this information with you and make you aware that on Friday, Oct. 31, prior to our last home football game, (vs CBHS) the Memphis “Yes on 1” group will have an information booth. They will be happy to answer any questions you may have and will also have literature for distribution.
