If you are planning to stop by school to drop off paperwork or other items, please be sure to
CALL FIRST
(804-254-8850). The school office hours are typically from 9am-3pm, M-F, but with a small summer staff, we might be in other parts of the building or in a meeting and unable to hear the doorbell. So plan ahead and call first so we can be on the lookout for you! Thank you!

THE SAINT BENEDICT PLAYERS
All of you theatre enthusiasts and Lovers of the Saint Benedict Players should take note. This coming school year we will be presenting "The Best Little Christmas Pageant Ever" for our Christmas show and the musical version of "The Wizard of Oz" in the spring. Exact dates have yet to be determined, but audition and show dates will all be sent home once school opens in August. I am excited about these two shows, and I'm looking forward to presenting the fine theatre that has become a tradition of the Saint Benedict Players. If you have any questions please send them to me at:

THANK YOU
The student council would like to thank everyone who participated in the pop top program. It's as simple as taking them off your cans and having your student bring them to school. Not only does the participating student earn points for their house, but the school donates all of the tops to the Ronald McDonald House on Monument Avenue. This year we were able to contribute over nine pounds of tops which will benefit a family who is staying in town while their child is receiving specialized medical treatment. Thank you again and start saving now for the upcoming school year!!

Upcoming EDGE and The Rule Events
|
|
Your copy should address 3 key questions: Who am I writing for? (Audience) Why should they care? (Benefit) What do I want them to do here? (Call-to-Action)
Create a great offer by adding words like "free" "personalized" "complimentary" or "customized." A sense of urgency often helps readers take an action, so think about inserting phrases like "for a limited time only" or "only 7 remaining!"
