Additional $250,000 Grant Awarded to the Imagine Campaign

St. Benedict’s has been awarded an additional $250,000 grant toward the Imagine Capital Campaign. This new grant comes in addition to the $500,000 challenge grant announced last week, creating even more momentum as we move closer to bringing the St. Benedict’s Episcopal School Hub for Innovation and Athletics to life.

As we celebrate this exciting milestone, families are invited to join us for special prayers of Thanksgiving after chapel on our new property, where we will gather in prayer for the property and the future of St. Benedict’s.

St. B's Celebrates 15th Annual Fun Run

Our 15th Annual Fun Run was a wonderful celebration of the St. Benedict’s community, bringing together families, students, alumni, volunteers, vendors and friends of the school for a chilly fall morning filled with spirit and connection.

The morning also gave us an opportunity to celebrate our school community, reflect on how far St. Benedict’s has come and look ahead to what’s possible through the Imagine Capital Campaign.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this year’s Fun Run such a meaningful part of our school tradition and our continued journey forward.
