The Leprechaun Lookout

As a community we educate the whole child in Mind, Body and Spirit through the Augustinian tradition.

We had a great weekend building community and raising money to support the mission of our

school and parish! A huge thank you to all our families, friends, parishioners, alumni, and

neighbors who attended. Of course, none of this happens without all our sponsors, volunteers

and our FF committee members who spend countless hours planning this undertaking. A final

thanks to our local elected officials, Mayor Todd Gloria and Councilmember Stephen Whitburn,

who let it be proclaimed that October 12, 2024 be “St. Patrick School Day” in the city of San

Diego in commemoration of our 80 th anniversary of academic excellence and service to our

community.

We are still looking for a few more volunteers for the Parent Safety Patrol. The goal and purpose of the Safety Patrol is to provide parent supervision of the campus during morning drop-off and after-school pick-up. These are transition areas when school gates are open and we would like to monitor all persons entering or leaving the campus. As you know, our school is located in a neighborhood where there is a lot of pedestrian traffic so adding this extra level of supervision will help increase the safety of our students and staff. We are looking for a few more parents so please let us know if you are interested.
