NEWS FROM HOME AND SCHOOL
Happy Spring from Home and School. We hope everyone had a great Easter break. The last quarter has begun and the finish line is right around the corner. But we have many more things to do before we are through. April 14th is the Mother/Daughter Tea and the Father/Son Bowling Outing. E-vites have been sent for both. The following weekend brings prom and then on April 21st the Mother/Son Dinner. These are truly fun events and time to make memories with your senior students. We hope you will join us and spend some special time with your students. Our next Home and School meeting is April 17th, 8:00 AM in the Faculty/Staff Cafeteria. At this very important year end meeting we will be electing next year’s officers, planning for final year end events and the Used Uniform Sale. Please join us. We hope that our incoming Freshman parents will come to this meeting as well and discover all the ways to get involved at SBA. The Used Uniform Sale date has been set. Drop off for sale items will be on June 3rd and the actual sale date will be June 4th. Look for additional information to come in the next few weeks.
