• Helping parents and teachers work together to provide programs, opportunities and funds to benefit SBS students.
• The PTA Executive Board is made up of parents who are charged with leading this effort. In addition to representing the interests of the students, the PTA is responsible for much of the school's fundraising efforts, and sponsors a number of special events and programs for SBS students and their families.
• The PTA relies on the generosity and dedication of countless volunteers, parents, faculty and staff who share their time and talents. We also rely on the generosity and loyalty of our local businesses that provide financial support for our events and fundraising efforts.

LATEST FOR 2020-2021 SCHOOL YEAR

Amazon Smiles Rewards Used for Portable Sinks
Thank you to all of the families who shop using Amazon Smiles.  As a result of your thoughtfulness, approximately $900 in rewards were used to purchase portable sinks to help support student and staff health and safety.  If you would like to support St. Benedict School through your Amazon purchases, please use this link and name your charity as St. Benedict Church and School.  

Scholastic Book Fair Rewards for Laptop Tables
Thank you to all of the families who supported the Scholastic Book Fair last March.  Your generosity allowed us to use $967 in Scholastic Rewards money to purchase adjustable laptop tables for teachers.  

Welcome Back Faculty Breakfast
The PTA started the year off with a grab-and-go breakfast for teachers as they worked to set up their classrooms and welcome back students.  We appreciate their commitment to our community more than ever!  A very big thank you to the Catena Family who sponsored the event.  

Start-of-Year Faculty Gift Cards
The PTA continued the tradition of providing gift cards to teachers to kick-off the school year with some of their most wished for classroom items that may not have been in their budget.  Teachers were able to select a Target or Amazon gift card to best support their classroom.

New Family Welcome!
The PTA is conducting welcome phone calls to each of the new to St. Benedict School families to answer any questions and share some of the many opportunities to participate in the school community.  

Uniform Swap
The uniform swap made an outdoor appearance so that families could enjoy the benefits of swapping uniforms in a socially distant way.  Thank you to everyone who dropped off gently used uniforms and thank you to Maureen Lauria who manages the uniform swap, ensuring this great service can be provided to our school community.
