On Eagles’ Wings

and remember the Smith family, you graduated from St. Benedict at Auburndale and remember the religious order of Dominican Sisters, or you graduated from St. Benedict at Auburndale High School and remember moving into the new buildings……WE ARE ALL EAGLES. In that Eagle spirit, I hope many things…. I hope that, if you have not been an active alumni, that maybe you will take a look at the Facebook page, update your information on our website or make an appearance at a game. We would love to see you. I hope that you will remember the so many generous people like you and before you who helped advance our school with their gifts and that maybe you will consider a gift too. Then your legacy will be helping to take us to the next level. And I hope mostly that your memories of Auburndale or SBA are fond ones, like mine, that are only reinforced now by knowing that tradition has carried on, and that success has been the outcome of the ole Alma Mater.

Simple Ways to Help SBA

Lasting

Legacies

SBA Gift Card Program The SBA Eagle Bucks Program allows you to earn money for our school programs while shopping! Just buy your gift cards from us! They will make GREAT Christmas gifts! To place your order, you can fill out the form on our website sbaeagles.org or you can stop by the office for a form. We have many gift cards in stock in the office, but orders are placed on the second and fourth Wednesday of each month. SBA receives a percentage of the sale of the gift card.

The 2011-12 Annual Fund for SBA Saint Benedict High School kicked off the 2011-12 Lasting Legacies Annual Fund drive in October and we set a few lofty goals that we need your help to achieve. Because the Annual Fund helps us to sustain our campus programs, balance our school budget and keep our tuition cost one of the lowest in Memphis, we would like to raise $200,000 this school year.

Reloadable Kroger Cards

With this goal in mind, we will also be able to contribute to our tuition assistance program and campus technology upgrades. In addition to the financial goal, another objective is to increase in contributors. We realize there are financial challenges facing many of us, but we urge you to give what you can. No gift is too small and every gift is needed and appreciated. 100% participation from our families would be terrific!

Stop by the office to get your SBA reloadable Kroger card. At the register, load it with the exact amount of your purchase each time you check out and SBA will receive a percentage of the sales. You wouldn’t believe how much it adds up for our school! Target Redcards

As of December 7, 2011 the Lasting Legacies Annual Fund totaled $110,598.80, with $70,940.05 in unrestricted gifts and $39,658.75 in restricted gifts. What a tribute to our school!
