WELCOME SBA ALUMNAE!
Welcome to the SBA Alumnae newsletter. 
 
The experiences you had while at Saint Basil Academy connect all of you in a very special way.  The Alumnae issue of E-News will be published every other week to keep you well informed of all the wonderful happenings at SBA, and among each other. We welcome you to send us updates of your accomplishments and milestones.

CLASS CAPTAINS
The office of Institutional Advancement is looking for Alumnae to take on the role as "class captains".  As a class captain, we ask you to support the academy by acting as a liaison between your graduating class via social media, phone calls or emails to share the happenings at SBA.  Class lists will be provided and we welcome more than one alumna per class.  To sign up please email Mrs. Samantha Angelone and provide your name (including maiden name) and class year and we will get you started.   
Thank you!
