To Our Families- This seems strange to me… But it has come to my
attention that Monday night a video game that is popular
amongst our students (Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3)
will be having a midnight release. Of course staying
home on Tuesday after an all-niter of playing a video
game would NOT count as an excused absence from
school. We appreciate your support on this one.

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!
Practice ACT
The November 12 practice ACT is full. There will be two more
practice tests offered: December 3rd and January 28. See Ms.
Brannon if you are interested.
Attention Parents of
Sophomores:
The Sophomore Retreat is this Wednesday, Nov. 9th
from 9:00
a.m. until 2:15 p.m. at St. Francis Church (in the Family Life
Center).
Students may be out of uniform for this day (jeans) so please see
those guidelines in the handbook.
Also, we ask that the girls bring a sweet or salty snack to share
and the boys bring a 12-pack of soda or water. We are
providing Chick-Fil-A chicken sandwiches for lunch.
Please make sure you have your child dropped off and picked up
on time. We need our SBA kids picked up before St. Francis
school begins dismissal.
If you have any questions, please call or email Christine Giles –
We look forward to a great day!
