• 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.

As we launch a new school year, the St. Benedict PTA is excited to partner with families and the local community to achieve our annual $25,000 donation to St. Benedict School.  This donation supports the ongoing fiscal health of our school community and provides programs and resources that improve the daily experiences of students and staff.  These efforts will be led by this year’s 2021-2022 SBS PTA Executive Board comprised of the following St. Benedict parents: 

★ President: Tracy Boone 
★ Vice President: Jennifer Rodriguez 
★ Secretary: Erin Michels 
★ Treasurer: Francine Boeni 
★ Hospitality: Amy Morris 

In addition to the PTA Executive Board, there are countless volunteers, parents, faculty, and staff who share their time and talents.  If you are interested in supporting the PTA’s efforts this year, please reach out to  pta@stbenedictnj.org and/or attend the First Open PTA Meeting.
