November 7th
Early Dismissal
On Wednesday, November 7th, the SBA Faculty and Staff will
be participating in a Professional Development opportunity. In
order for this to happen, we will be operating on a half-day
schedule with students dismissing at 11:45am. Athletic
practices and play rehearsals will be at their normal times on
that day.
Senior Parents:
The deadline for senior ads is approaching quickly. Ads are
due on November 2. Space is limited so send in your ad early to
ensure placement. For directions on how to order Yearbook
Ads, click here.
Please note in order for the ad to be processed we must receive
all items (payment, contract, pictures, and ad design) at one
time.
NEWS FROM HOME AND SCHOOL
We are also looking for help with our Annual Fashion Show coming up in February.
Any businesses interested in catering or donating items for our raffle baskets, please
contact Romy Schaaf at rbschaaf64@att.net or by phone at 901.359.7821. As you are out
shopping for the holidays, think of us and our baskets and pick up some extra gift cards.
You can send them in with your students to the attention of Annual Fashion show. Our
first planning meeting will be November 8th at 8:00. An email will be sent to those who
have signed up to help. If you are interested, please let Romy Schaaf or Lori Regis know.
Additional volunteer opportunities are open for sign up via signupgenius.com. See links
below. In addition, we have a call out for some the following volunteers needed:
• Father/Son Outing - We need 3 moms or dads to assist with preparation and during the
event. These can be junior or senior moms or dads. It would be nice it is just the guys
and their dads. A great opportunity for junior parents to volunteer and see what they
have to look forward to next year. This event will be in the spring of 2013.
• Mother/Son Dinner - We need 4 junior moms to assist with set up the day of the event,
help during the event and clean up. This can be in shifts or the entire time. Event date
is TBD, but set up is typically noon-2pm and the event should last no more than 3
hours, with 30-40 min for clean up. Having the junior moms allows our senior moms to
spend time with their sons.
For both of these volunteer opportunities, please contact Nancy Wiley at:
901.340.0244 or kwiley74@comcast.net

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.

Target REDcard SBA Annual Fund
Great News! We received a check from Target’s Take Charge of Education Program for $2,095.38. This is such a great and easy way to beef up our Annual Fund each year. We are thrilled with this gift, but out of curiosity, looked in on our school’s progress using Target’s user-friendly website. Guess what? We only have 79 Target credit cards out there that over a period of time have totaled over $20,000 in donations over the years. CAN YOU IMAGINE IF WE ALL DESIGNATED SBA ON OUR TARGET CARDS AS OUR SCHOOL OF CHOICE? Who doesn’t go to Target? We are getting settled into the new school year, and are kicking off our Annual Fund drive. If you have a quick second, there are a few scenarios below. What a GREAT way to give to the school, and after the initial sign up, it is effortless. Please consider this super-easy way for SBA to receive a percentage of the amount of each Target purchase you make with your card. If you do not have a Target REDcard, you can go to Target.com to download the application, or pick one up in the store. If you already have a Target REDcard, you can go to their website to designate Saint Benedict as your school of choice. It is easy to search for by city and state. To see the progress report on our school and how much we have received from the Take Charge of Education program, check back to Target.com periodically. You will be amazed at how it adds up! Thank you so much for supporting SBA!
