As the Holiday season approaches, the faculty, staff, and students at Saint Augustine School have been gathering donations for the upcoming Thanksgiving baskets. Every student in grades Pre-K – 8 is asked to make a donation of at least a dollar to help assist a family less fortunate than ours from our parish. These donations will be put towards a gift certificate for a Thanksgiving turkey.
The students were also given a list of foods to help those who are in need this Thanksgiving season. Students were encouraged to bring in two or three items for the baskets. Some of these items are gravy, stuffing, dinner rolls, cranberry sauce, canned vegetables, and crackers and cookies. Because of the generous donations by students and families the school was able to provide Thanksgiving baskets to eight families. We also had additional food that will be donated to local food banks.
On behalf of the Saint Augustine 8th grade and all of Saint Augustine School, we would like to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving. We hope that you will recognize that God has given you all of the blessings that make your life so special.
