A heartfelt thank you to our amazing students, parents, volunteers, donors, and sponsors for making the St. Benilde School's Shamrock'N Roll Fun Run a huge success! Your support and generosity truly made a difference and helped meet our goal of $36,000 through donations from our fun run and a few private pledges to resurface our playground. We couldn't have done it without each and every one of you. ☘️

This past weekend, nine of our St. Benilde School 7th graders participated in the Archbishop Rummel High School Academic Rally. There were 15 schools with up to 10 students from each school participating in the event. Our students represented St. Benilde wonderfully.

We are so proud of 6th Grader Robert H. who was recently given the Archdiocesan Altar Server of the Year award for St. Benilde Parish. He was one of 80 altar servers to gather with Archbishop Gregory Aymond for a special Mass and award ceremony. Robert serves faithfully at the 9:00 AM Sunday Mass, our St. Benilde School Masses, and various special liturgies. We are proud of the young man he is and the example he continues to set for his peers.

Our student council recently sponsored an “orange dress down day" for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society raising $657.22! Thank you so much to all of our students for their generosity and for contributing to the mission of finding a cure for Leukemia and Lymphoma.
