Edline Updates
Grades will NOT be updated this Friday, October 19th.

cards will be e-mailed out sometime near the middle of next
week.
Football Dance Information
There will be an SBA Dance following the football game
this Friday, October 19th! The dance will begin after the
football game has ended and will go until 10:30pm. Tickets
will be on sale at all lunches this week. Tickets are $5 and
will NOT be sold at the game or at the door. This dance is
for SBA students only, so students must have their ticket
AND their Student ID Card in order to be admitted to the
dance! November 7
th 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.
School Picture Proofs
School picture proofs have arrived and will be distributed during
1st period on Thursday, October 18th. Students will have until
Friday, November 2nd (even though the form does not say this) to
order school pictures. Any pictures that are ordered AFTER
November 2nd, will be charged a $10 late fee. If your student does
not like their picture, he or she will have an opportunity to retake
their picture during their lunch period on Thursday, November 8th.
Unlike in years past, we do NOT need to have the proofs back.
IRIS Emergency System Test
Once again this year, we will use the IRIS Emergency Notification
System if we have need to get out an announcement in quick
fashion.
Some schools use this for all sorts of reminders, but we have
chosen to limit its use to emergencies. And most commonly that
has meant closing for inclement weather.
We are going to test the system on Tuesday, October 23rd at
3:30 p.m. Just a reminder, that we will be reaching out via phone,
text, and e-mail to whatever phones and e-mails you provided on
your Registration Form.
If, after this test, you need to change any of your contact
information, please send an e-mail to Chris Truckner at
trucknerc@sbaeagles.org or Claire Sweeney at
sweeneyc@sbaeagles.org
Thank you. And hopefully we won’t need it again.
NEWS FROM HOME AND SCHOOL
Volunteer opportunities are open for sign up via signupgenius.com. See links below. In addition, we have a call out for some additional 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 http://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0A4CABAC29A64-sbamonthly - link to Sign Up Genius for Monthly Teacher Treats http://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0945A5AE23A20-first -- link to Sign Up Genius for First Friday Adoration

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. We will be having a planning meeting soon. If you

Depression-era south, who defends a black man against an
undeserved rape charge while his own children learn life’s many
lessons.
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!

October is the Month of the Rosary!
What is the Rosary? Why is it important? How do I pray the Rosary? Look here
(http://www.ewtn.com/Devotionals/prayers/rosary/) for the answers to these
questions.
Pope John Paul II beautifully stated:
“With the Rosary, the Christian people sit at the school of Mary and is led to
contemplate the beauty on the face of Christ and to experience the depths of
his love.” Apostolic Letter Rosarium Virginis Mariae)
October 11 Begins the Year of Faith!
