That's Music to our Ears!
I am pleased to introduce Ms. Liz Goodwin as our Music Teacher for the 2023-2024 school year. Ms. Goodwin holds a Bachelor of Music Education from Indiana University and a Master of Arts in Music from Montclair State University. After college, she taught music in a variety of grades from elementary through high school in both public and private schools. Most recently, Ms. Goodwin served as Director of Music for St. Edward the Confessor Church in North Chesterfield, Virginia, where she played the organ and directed both the adult and children's choirs. Ms. Goodwin is excited by the rich musical tradition at St. Benedict and the opportunity to work in Catholic education.
PTO Hours
As we approach the end of the school year, I want to remind everyone to be sure you have recorded your PTO volunteer hours. Remember that you enter your volunteer hours yourself through the ParentsWeb portal. You can connect to ParentsWeb here or through the link on the school website. Once you have entered your login and password, select "Family - Family Home" from the menu on the left side of the page. There will be a box in the middle of the page labeled "Service Hours" showing your recorded service hours for your entire time at St. Benedict. To add hours, click the "Add" button in the top right-hand corner of that box. Please let the school office know if you have any trouble. Volunteer hours should be entered no later than the last day of school, so you are not charged for unfulfilled hours.

It is time to get EVERYTHING back to the library! Mrs. Clark is beginning her inventory of the entire collection and all books are due back by MAY 25TH.
Any books that are not returned by June 1st will be presumed lost and families will be charged a flat fee of $25.00 for each hardbound book and $10.00 for each paperback. Fees will be charged to the family FACTS account.
Don't forget that you can show your love of reading, the library, the book club, or a special person by making an end-of-the-school-year book gift through our friends wishlist.
