We are "ALL IN" at BA!

Guess who came to Benedictine Academy?  Gian-Paul Gonzalez and his 4-One Team!  Gian-Paul prayed with the New York Giants during their playoff run on route to their Super Bowl.  NY Giant Captain Justin Tuck used Gian's mantra about commitment - "ALL IN" as the mantra for the team - and the rest is Super Bowl History.

 Next month, Benedictine Academy is getting ready to go into the Jefferson Award Students In Action playoff.  The competition is fierce and we need to continue to be "ALL IN" to have a chance to win the Regional Gold Medal again this year. 

We reached out to Gian-Paul and his team to share with us the same motivational speech he gave to the NY  Giants and to pray with us.  After a scrimmage with our girls, Gian invited us to join him in being ALL IN for Jesus!  Why?  Jesus is ALL IN for each one of us.

We concluded by awarding over 89 students with a Students In Action BA ALL IN towel.  Each of the students completed  their annual service goal of 12 hours in only five months!  Our hope is by the end of the year, everyone will be ALL IN and have helped their neighbor in need.


At BA, we echo Gian-Paul's motto:  
"Because ONE gave ALL we give ALL for ONE!" And his holy name is Jesus!
