Our Honoree for the Celebrating Catholic Schools' Dinner and Awards Event in Austin
On Saturday, January 27, 2018 the Diocese of Austin will host the “Celebrating Catholic Schools' Dinner and Awards" event. Celebrating Catholic Schools provides a way for the Diocese of Austin to recognize the “unsung heroes” of our schools.
Our honoree for 2018 is Mrs. Shirley Meier. Mrs. Meier, without a doubt, unselfishly givers her time, talent, and treasure to St. Louis Catholic School and its community. Her love for our students, generosity and time given to the school is unmatched and greatly appreciated.
The event will be held at the Hyatt Regency Town Lake in downtown Austin, starting at 6:00 p.m, and feature Catholic speaker Leah Darrow, America’s Next Top Model turned Role Model.
The Hyatt Regency Town Lake is located at 208 Barton Springs, Austin, Texas 78704.

Service Projects
Each year, our 8th Grade students adopt a family, raise money to purchase the items requested by the family (i.e., blankets, towels, heaters, etc.), shop for the items, wrap them, and deliver the gifts to the family. Making a difference in the lives of others is what we teach our students. So proud of our 8th Grade students.
Our 5th Grade students/families donated money to sponsor wreaths at Arlington National Cemetery through Wreaths Across America.
Our Prek classes hosted in November a "shoebox packing party" for Operation Christmas Child. They filled 33 boxes with gifts and love in Jesus' name.
The 8th Grade class is still seeking sponsorships for its 2018 Basketball Tournament, which is the last two weekends in January. In order to make this year's tournament a great success, they need your help. The students are a little over $5,000 shy of their goal, and they need sponsors! Please help our 8th Grade students make this year's Basketball Tournament a wonderful success.
The students organize and host this Tournament. They work on the days of the Tournament both of the concession stands, register teams, run errands, make announcements, etc.
You can help the class by being a $100 or more sponsor. Go here, print the sponsorship form, complete it, mail it in with your check, and be a hero. You and our 8th Grade students can make this long-standing Basketball Tournament a huge success.

Tuition rates for the 2018-19 school year will be posted in mid-January on our website.
