BIG NEWS, ST. AUGUSTINE FAMILIES!

We did it! Thanks to your incredible support, Friends of St. Augustine has officially raised enough funds to bring Gaga Ball Pits to our school!

If you’re not sure what a Gaga Ball Pit is, just ask your kids—they’ll probably be happy to explain!

This has been a long time coming, and we’re thrilled to see this exciting project finally becoming a reality for our students.

Volunteer Day: June 20

Please comment below if you’re interested in helping, and Franziska will reach out with more details. Franziska Hefti
