Canned Food Drive SUCCESS! Congratulations to the SBA Student Government Association and all the students for an outstanding canned food collection campaign for the Mid-South Food Bank. SBA students, faculty, staff, alums and friends donated money through a myriad of fundraisers (Powder Puff Football, CanStruction, "No shave November" for the guys, Quarter hugs and much more) to raise funds and awareness. With all of this, the SBA monetary donation to the Food Bank, presented yesterday live at 8:00 am on Action News 5 (WMCTTV), was $6,500 and with all the canned foods donated, Eagle Nation contributed enough to provide over 34,000 meals to the Memphis-area community. With this donation, the Food Bank has recognized SBA for being the school with the largest contribution. This encouraged Principal Mrs. Sondra Morris to request of the Diocese Catholic Schools Office a day off from school, which will be granted on Jan. 6. EAGLE NATION, YOU ROCK, and CONTINUE TO SERVE THOSE IN NEED!
Senior Parents Meeting The financial aid scholarship meeting for senior parents that was scheduled for November 20 will now be on January 22 at 6:30pm in the Theatre.

EAGLE BUCKS YOU WON’T BELIEVE HOW IT ADDS UP! The Eagle Bucks program lets you earn money for St. Benedict OR tuition credit for yourself while shopping! All you have to do is buy gift cards from us! With more than 50 gift cards to choose from including, Target, Starbucks, Walmart, Kroger, Old Navy, Outback, Chili’s, Bahama Breeze and more, you are sure to find something for everyone in our selection. To place your order, fill out and turn in an Eagle Bucks form. They are available at http://www.sbaeagles.org/eaglebucks or in our main school office. You can designate the money to go to your Tuition Account, The SBA Annual Fund, or an SBA Organization. Orders are placed on a weekly basis and SBA receives a percentage of the sale of the gift card. Last year, this program raised almost $50,000 for SBA and that was with minimal participation. Can you imagine if we all took advantage of this? Especially with Christmas right around the corner!
Thank you so much for helping SBA!
The Scripps/Eagle Bucks Program raised over $50,000 for SBA last year. This makes a major difference in the programs we are able to offer our students. Please consider purchasing your holiday gift cards from SBA. Thank you for supporting the SBA Annual Fund.
