Jim Caviezel who many know from his role in, "The Passion of the Christ," had a powerful message while promoting his latest movie, "Paul, Apostle of Christ." He encouraged us all to set ourselves apart from the corruption around us and strive to be Saints! Enjoy his message

SPRING GALA
Beat the price bump
on Spring Gala tickets and get your orders in before they increase next week! Prices this week are $45/person or $75/couple. After March 18, prices are $50/person or $85/couple. The success of our Spring Gala is what allows us to avoid selling wrapping paper/cookie dough/raffle tickets/candles/etc. It's a fun night with great food, music, and socializing with your fellow SBCS parents (and did we mention no wrapping paper to sell?). Pay by cash, check, or FACTS with the attached
ticket order form
, or pay online by visiting our school
website.
We are now actively soliciting items for the Gala’s Live and Silent Auctions as well as items to be included in the Class Baskets. We are asking parents to please take a look at the sign up genius located
here
. This sign up list is a compilation of local businesses who have donated to the Gala within the last two years. If you have connections with any of these businesses, please consider approaching them on our behalf to donate again this year. Please be sure to turn in any donated items ASAP! Items MUST be turned in by 3/23. Items can be turned in to the school office. Please use the following links to print off copies of the Business Donation Letter and Silent Auction Donation Form. Please give these two documents to the businesses you approach as they give specific details about the Gala and important tax information as well as tracking information for SBCS. If you need hard copies of these documents, please email Annie Cooper at
adcooper21@hotmail.com
.
Thank you to all of the parents that have collected items for the Gala’s Auction.
