Thank You
We would like to thank everyone who helped last week with
our efforts to raise money for the WINGS Cancer
Foundation.
Thank you to those who bought pre-sale tickets, decided to
purchase a Live Pink T-Shirt, or just donated money
outright.
Between the three schools involved, we were able to write a
check for $3500 to the WINGS Cancer Foundation.
The money will certainly be going to a great cause, and
thank you again for however you may have helped.
SACS Survey
Our school is proudly accredited by the Southern Association of
Colleges and Schools. As a part of our SACS evaluation process,
we are asking our families to complete an online survey asking you
to share opinions about various aspects of life at St. Benedict.
More information about the survey was e-mailed to all SBA
families last week. We thank you – in advance – for your
participation.
The survey website is http://kwiksurveys.com?u=sbasurvey ; We
ask that all who would like to participate, please submit your
responses by November 8, 2011. Again, Thank you!
