As a working mom who does not have the option to volunteer during the week, by being involved in the parish I can still feel very connected. Attending mass on Sundays also allows me to make important connections with my daughter’s classmates and their families, teachers and administrators.

I love that families that are there share a sense of faith and values - we have come to this Catholic school because we are seeking a faith based education. We are confident that the values that we hold are being instilled and nurtured in our children.

I like SAS for the computer games, the games at gym, the nice people & the library with interesting books. I like pajama day, crazy hat day and I like that the principal gives us goodies for our birthday.

It's like a Big Family—where everyone accepts you.

I love that SAS is a community where every child is known - the benefit of a small community where children and their families can become very involved in both school & parish activities.
~ SAS Mom

I love that the children are exposed to and get to know priests and religious - they have a prominent and constant presence in our children's lives.
~ SAS Mom

I have the best teachers that make learning fun.

I love the volunteerism at SAS - family members who consistently go above & beyond for the school and the parish.

Whenever money is tight (more often than I'd like to admit) and I wrestle with the expense of a Catholic education, I remember that my kids are reminded about Jesus' presence in their life and are encouraged to pray every single day at school. Faith in God -- something we live at home is as natural to them as day -- at school. Many times classmates request prayers for a friend or family member. Kids pray for one another.

The 9 years at St. Augustine’s will leave us with many 'Happy Memories.” We highly recommend this school to incoming students.
~ SAS Dad

I love the teachers - they are clearly teaching in the school as an act of love - salaries are much more attractive in the public school yet these folks have opted to stay in the Catholic school system.
~ SAS Mom

Most of the teachers are kind to you.

I love the Art program - Mrs. L nurtures creativity and imagination. The children get to create exciting things each year.
~ SAS Mom

I love being in church, noticing other school families, seeing them week in and week out, sharing news and talking about shared activities (i.e. school plays, CYO Basketball, Boy Scouts).
~ SAS Mom

I like seeing all the moms at lunch and recess because it makes me comfortable.
~ 4th Grade Student

I love the discipline and sense of accountability that SAS has day in and day out.
~ SAS Mom

When the kids are in the Jr. High, they in the care of with the same group of teachers, who watch over them and get to know them well, for 3 years. In a volatile, changing world, they have the stability of a group of caring teachers who really go out of their way for their students.
~ SAS Mom

I love Leone (school secretary), she knows each child and makes each child feel special when they are in the office for whatever their purpose.
~ SAS Mom

I feel comfortable being at work knowing there is someone in the St. Augustine School community who will help my daughters if I cannot get to school in time if my children need me.
~ SAS Mom

I like SAS because of the fun things we do like have birthday parties and we learn how to play the recorder. I enjoy computer class, the bake sales and also the children’s choir.

It's a small school, and all your teachers remember you!
