Showcase Your Spirit Challenge
As we celebrate another Spirit Day on November 21, we are reminded that the lifeblood of Saint Basil Academy has been and always will be its heart. We ask that you celebrate with us and show us your spirit. Your generous donations to our online campaign will allow us to provide opportunities to build the skills necessary for our students to become compassionate, service-minded leaders. This one-week long giving campaign will begin on Spirit Day and end on #GivingTuesday. We aim to raise $5,000 to put towards our annual fund, which provides scholarship and tuition assistance, helps to add new classes and develop curriculum, and allows us to continue to offer the young women of Saint Basil Academy incredible opportunities in athletics, extracurricular, and community service. A
ny gift, large or small, helps us to achieve this goal. Involve your classmates, provide challenges to match your own gifts, or just share our message on social media!
