Acceptance Gathering


It was a wonderful evening as students from almost a dozen schools gathered together.   Samantha, our Senior video producer and editor, opened the ceremony with an introduction on the importance of the Jefferson Awards Students In Action Program.

This welcome was followed by an informative video providing an inside look of the many service projects being accomplished by the Benedictine Academy student community.  The short film production concludes with an invitation by alumna, Ariana (currently a student at New York University - Tisch School of the Arts), asking all the young students to submit a service project as part of the Youth Service Challenge.

Mr. Jennings then recognized the top three elementary schools, St. Genevieve, Our Lady of Guadalupe, and St. Mary's for their outstanding service to the community.  The students from each of these schools received a Students In Action certificate and a letter to the Principal explaining that a banner would follow shortly.   St. Michael's and St. Joseph the Carpenter also received a certificate for their valuable service to the communities.

The Benedictine Academy Students In Action Team are proud of all the accomplishments of their younger students.  Inspired and inspiring, they hope that this affirmation will continue to flame the passion for helping others in need.  We believe we have a shared responsibility to build a more, just peaceful world.
