Greetings SBPS Parents and Friends:
Congratulations to our IESA State Track Team! Our girls competed well and placed in many races. Our girls team placed second in the 4 X 400 race. 8th Grader, Berrit Shure won state championships in both the 400m and 800m races! She was also a member of the second place 4x400m relay team. Thank you to the coaches for a great year as well. We are proud of our Bengals!
On Friday, May 30th, we are hosting our 8th grade graduation in the gym. It is truly a wonderful evening celebrating our graduates. We do host a reception after graduation and need some volunteer support as well as some food donations. If you think you might be able to assist, please see the post below to sign up.
If you believe your children would benefit from working with a tutor this summer, please see the list below of available teachers interested in providing services. Please reach out to them directly to learn more about offerings.
The Northcenter Chamber of Commerce is soon hosting its annual RibFest. They are also looking for volunteers. It’s a fun weekend. Why not find some time to volunteer with your friends and contribute to our community at large?
Finally, we ask God to bless and protect all those families who might be traveling this Memorial Day Weekend. We also pray in thanksgiving for those who have served our country and lost their lives to protect the freedoms we enjoy and cherish. May you all have a blessed Memorial Day!
