At our convocation on Friday, the auditorium was filled with excitement as students were recognized for their outstanding academic achievements. It is a proud day when we can also honor our students who have dedicated their time and talents in volunteer service to the local community in exceptional ways. 
The Jefferson Awards Students In Action Program recognized the following "Unsung Heroes" of our school community, who have displayed extraordinary efforts in making our world a better place.
Chisom Emeana - Her leadership initiative to organize a CPR program for the students and staff is in response to her awareness that sacred lives of our brothers and sisters are at risk.
Ariana Taveras and Andrea Mendoza - They have organized an Anti-Bullying Program and Peer Mediation Workshop. Their leadership initiative is in response to the BA belief that every person deserves respect and human dignity.
Martha Devia - Her dedication and kind heart are unwavering in her drive to lend a helping hand and make a difference in someone's life. Martha follows in the footsteps of Mother Teresa in "doing small things with great love".
Emilie Burke - Her relentless energy inspired her to take the initiative and answer the call to orchestrate a Blood Drive at Benedictine Academy. Her JSA leadership lies in the strong inner determination that she is called to be the best that God created her to be.
Benedictine Academy is an A+ Service Leadership School.
