8TH Grade Field Trip to D.C
St. B's 8th Graders toured our Nation’s Capital this past week; the first return of this "annual" trip since 2018.
It was an incredible experience filled with an array of feelings during the week, from pride and honor in being an American citizen to empathy and sorrow as we remember those who lost their lives in war.
Our soon-to-be graduates enjoyed a lot of walking, taking selfies and group photos, laughter, and so many stories. Memories were made that will last a lifetime; the perfect way to wrap up their 8th-grade year.

Family Referral Program
A referral to St. B's is the biggest form of flattery!
At St. B's, we reward our families who refer new families that enroll in our school. This is your chance to lower your tuition for the 2023-2024 school year by 10%.
The referral program is intended to fill the one or two openings in specific grades. Therefore, your family will only be eligible for a tuition credit beginning with any student we accept and enroll after April 14, 2023, and before August 1, 2023. Families referred prior to April 14, 2023 are ineligible for this program.

Please find Family Referral Program guidelines, tools, and resources to support your efforts here. |
