Can You Believe That!?!??! We want you to know that the Eagle Bucks program last year totaled
FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS!
Do you know that we only have about 100 families participating?!??! AND – we think most of them are alumni families now that started using their cards
when the Eagle Bucks program started.
CAN YOU IMAGINE IF WE ALL PARTICIPATED IN THE EAGLE BUCKS PROGRAM?!?!?!
Here’s the deal… There is a NEW program at Kroger. The old reloadable gift card program will terminate on 9/28/12. If you shop at KROGER – you likely have a Kroger Plus card on your keychain. If you will go to their website at Kroger.com, and create an account (it gives you the option to enter your existing Plus card number), you can then: Select “My Account” below “Welcome Back” once you have signed in. Select “Community Rewards” at the bottom of the list. Select “Edit Community Rewards Program Information”. Enter your contact information (if requested). Enter St. Benedict at Auburndale under “Find Your Organization”. Select the check box next to St. Benedict at Auburndale. Click SAVE CHANGES at the bottom. You can now see our school under your Community Rewards tab. Once you have completed this process, a portion of every shopping trip you make using your Kroger Plus card will now go to support St. Benedict High School. THANK YOU! You can do the same thing with your TARGET credit card. If you have a Target RedCard, you can designate St. Benedict at Auburndale as your school of choice for their “Take Charge of Education” program and the school will receive up to 1% of every purchase you make. You can do this on their website at Target.com. Our school number is 15968, or you can just search by our zip code 38016. You wouldn’t BELIEVE how this one adds up! Think of how much we all spend at Target! THANK YOU! We also have GIFT CARDS JUST LIKE THE ONES YOU WOULD BUY AT THE STORE. They are the same amounts and to all of the same stores. BUT – if you buy them from SBA, then the school gets a percentage of the card when they are used. Please go to www.sbaeagles.org/eaglebucks to see and order the different cards we offer and print out an order form if you are interested. We have one SBA family that owns a business and purchases hundreds of cards from the school for employee Christmas gifts and customer thank you gifts. What a great idea! THANK YOU! You obviously can see how it adds up. It added up to over $50,000 in one year! If you already take advantage of this way to help our school – THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! If you haven’t yet started use of this program, we would love for you to consider it.
It is a one-time extra step, but WOW does it help us out.

of the trip is to the Amazon River with a
stay in an eco-lodge to study the flora and
fauna of exotic and unforgettable Peru.

Riviera, including Monaco, then
travel to Lyon, the gastronomic
capital of the world, and the Loire
Valley to see 2 of the most beautiful
chateaux as well as the famous
Gothic cathedral in Chartres.

A note from our Cafeteria Staff:
For all parents of students with peanut allergies, the staff would
like to make everyone aware that all SBA prepared food (grill
items, Menu of the day, etc) is done without using peanut oil.
They would also like to caution that the same cannot be guaranteed
with any pre-packaged or processed foods (like cookies, crackers,
snack bars, pies, etc), as most processors/manufacturers make
some products with nuts. Please make sure that your student keeps
these choices in mind when selecting items from the cafeteria.
HOME AND SCHOOL NEWS Greetings from Home and School! Hope the 2012-2013 school year has
started out well for each of you. We had a great turnout for the Freshman-
Sophomore tailgate. Special thanks to all who volunteered their time and
brought food to share. The weather cooperated and everyone enjoyed
connecting or re-connecting with friends.
A couple of items of note: We have two sign ups (see links below) for
Monthly Teacher Treats and for First Friday Adoration. The dates have all
been plugged in, we just need you to log on and volunteer for the dates when
you can send in treats for our teachers or when you can spend some time in
our chapel during First Friday Adoration. When you sign up, the site will
send you an automatic reminder about a week before you have volunteered.
This can be exported to your calendars in Outlook or iCal. If you are
volunteering for Monthly Teacher Treats, please place in the notes area what
you are volunteering to bring so we can make certain we have a variety of
items. Thank you for volunteering to help out and for the service to our
school, faculty and administration!
Click here to sign up to help with Monthly Teacher Treats Click here to sign up to help with First Friday Adoration
Our first Home and School meeting of the year will be Wednesday, Sept 12th
at 8:00. We hope as many of you who are interested in getting involved will
join us. We will do our best to complete the meeting within an hour so we
can get on with our work day.
Lastly, if you haven’t already joined our Home and School Association and
paid your dues, there is still time. You can print the form from the
sbaeagles.org website and send in with your student to the office. Remember
that we do not fundraise so our dues are the only way we have to help cover
the many events that Home and School sponsors.

The Father/Son Program explores God’s special gifts of human sexuality and fertility as well as the goodness and wonder of His plan for growing up and becoming a man of integrity. Topics include: the physical changes in a young man’s body as it prepares for fatherhood; emotional changes; acceptance of responsibility; the functions of the male and female reproductive systems; the sacredness of human life; appreciation and reverence for the gift of sexuality; the virtue of chastity; and a question and answer segment. Healthy dating relationships with a strong emphasis on friendship, respect and chastity are also discussed.
The purpose of the program is to provide an atmosphere of love and learning to discuss the important topic of growing up and to establish a foundation for continued communication between parent and child. The program is presented primarily by male NFP Center volunteers who have set high moral standards for themselves. They will emphasize respect, strong character, integrity, understanding and appreciation for God’s gifts.
Pizza and refreshments will be served. Seating is limited and reservations are required. Discount fee is $25.00 per family (non-refundable) if RECEIVED by October 24.
