At a ceremony on April 11, 44 Benilde-St. Margaret’s students received a Student Recognition Award.  This semi-annual event, sponsored by the BSM Parent Association, highlights students on the basis of character.  BSM senior high principal Sue Skinner says, “As a Catholic faith-based school community, we believe that God is present and can be experienced through our interactions and relationships with others.  This is especially noticed and appreciated today, and we celebrate the students being presented with the Student Recognition Award.”
