St. Augustine School Student Council, Providence, led by mentor teacher Toni Scaramuzzo, worked on a school-wide giving project throughout the weeks of Advent. The giving activities include making sandwiches for the homeless that were distributed to the Saint Patrick’s food mission; creating Christmas cards for the elderly; making baskets for families in St. Augustine Parish; and collecting $400 in gift certificate donations.
