Student Spotlights

Over the years, I have created great friendships with all of my peers and with the staff too! Classes here can be challenging, but that is okay because all of the teachers are there to help you and it has taught me to never give up. A tradition is weekly Mass at St. Augustine Church. We walk down together and celebrate Mass together as a school. I like going to church because it gives me time to relax and build a better relationship with God. It’s also fun watching my friends participating in the Mass. There is a student choir, student lectors, and student altar servers. I am an altar server which is a great opportunity to serve the Church. 

I am not the only one who loves St. Augustine school. My grandmother taught here, my aunt teaches here now, and her three sisters were students here…including my mom! If you are considering St. Augustine School, you won't be disappointed. It is full of smart, kind, and considerate people and I love it!"

It also means strengthening my faith, being kind to others, and always trying my best in school. I feel lucky to be at a place that teaches me not only the importance of learning but also how to become a better person.”

"My journey as an Auggie began ten years ago in Mrs Mears’ Nursery classroom. Each year since then, I have grown in knowledge, friendship, and experiences which I would now like to share with you. The challenging curriculum and the caring teachers have helped shape me into the person I am today. I have become a critical thinker, a problem solver, and a hard worker. 

The friendships I have made will last a lifetime. We have become one big family who supports each other. Together, we have experienced the joy of serving others through the many volunteering opportunities offered by the school. 

One of my favorite experiences was participating in Auggies Give Back Day. My classmates and I went to Lazarus House in Lawrence. There we helped organize the donated school supplies, canned goods, and clothing. My heart filled with compassion for those in need of our help. After doing all these things, it reminded me of how lucky I am to have a roof over my head, food on my plate, and clothes to keep me warm. Moreover, it feels really good to practice the golden rule though serving others. 

As our Mission Statement so clearly states, “The mission of St Augustine School is to form the next generation of saints and scholars in the catholic tradition. . . we are committed to the core values of Truth, Unity and Love.” The teachers, students, and experiences at St Augustine's School have enabled me to follow our core values and strive to be a saint and a scholar."

I have attended St. Augustine School for the last ten years; since nursery school. St. Augustine School is my second home, a place where I feel comfortable and safe. The community here at St. Augustine School consists of our teachers who are very supportive and diligent. Each and every one of the teachers has crucially played a role in my academic growth, and I am thankful for all their help. The students here at St. Augustine School are not only my classmates, but to me they are like my siblings. The majority of us have grown up together, and built powerful bonds with each other. Not only have we made memories with our classmates, but also with our Nursery, Pre-K, and Kindergarten buddies while walking down to church. We get the amazing opportunity to go down to church every week, but once a month we also bring our buddies, and share our faith in God!

Here at St. Augustine School, we have many extracurricular activities and opportunities for students to explore or pursue a diversity of interests. A few sports offered are basketball, cross country, and skiing. We don’t only include sports, we also have a chess club, a public speaking club, band, and Campus Ministry. I am also part of the leadership team here at SAS. I have been on the leadership team for two years now and it has helped me develop to the person I am today. I am now more confident in bringing new ideas to help the school become even better than it already is! I have formed new friendships with students in other grades, and work together with others to lead fun activities in school such as the turkey bowl. Not only do we help our school, but we also help people in need. We occasionally have food drives and donate it to places like Lazarus House or other places or people who need it.

I have made a lot of memories such as going to the school dances with my friends, or the Walk-A-Thons where we walk with each other or our buddies! I love St. Augustine school because I feel welcomed and at home. I like to say that we are all one big family. Feel free to come tour our school, and possibly get toured by myself, or other wonderful students and staff!"
