"WALK A MILE" SOUP SUPPER
A word of thanks
A sincere thank you to everyone in the SBA family who took time to attend our "Walk a Mile" Soup Supper on Wednesday! Thank you also to our soup makers, dessert bakers, and servers. It was a lovely evening replete with students, teachers, staff members, families, graduates, future SBA students, and of course, delicious soup! This wonderful event helped raise $500 for Face to Face Soup Kitchen in Germantown.
Molly Mahon, class of 2012, spoke about her awesome experiences at Face to Face and how the people there have touched her life forever. It was great to welcome Molly back to SBA!

READING OLYMPICS
SBA students take highest recognition
Basil girls had a blast at the Reading Olympics competition held at Colonial Middle School on Tuesday evening. They received 55 points in 3 rounds, which awarded them the highest recognition ribbon!
Taylor Grabowski was an awesome captain, making eye-contact with every team member over each question. The team is proud of their two seniors, Molly Davis and Brenda Jones. Molly was quick with "don't know" answers and Brenda was "Ms. Pluto" for the evening. Extra kudos for the two freshwomen, Erica Miller and Caitlin Ponert. They were not the usual shy freshmen we often see in the hallways. The team looks forward to an even greater victory next year with Mary Campion, Sarah Depman, Tabitha Ford, Elizabeth Gorodenchuk, Jen Levito, Grace Majkut, Julia Mayro, and Madeline McCrea. With Sarah, Tabitha and Julia, their answers came out fast and complete, including minute details. Elizabeth shined with answers to many questions, representing many books. The moderator commented that Jen's answers were akin to an essay on the SAT. Grace saved us with the last question of round three!
Our SBA moderators had so much fun watching the girls interact, squeeze their brains, and laugh at themselves. Congratulations, Girls!!!
