St. Augustine student awarded by Children's Scholarship Fund
Austin, a 7th grade student at St. Augustine Indian Mission, was recognized by the Children's Scholarship Fund (CSF) for his leadership and service to others. The award was presented at the annual CSF luncheon, held in Omaha on June 5, 2013. Austin's parents are Don and Cathy Blackbird. Don is our principal, and Cathy is our school lunch program coordinator. There was an added degree of difficulty involved in nominating him, as we did it without his parents knowledge! Austin is pictured to the left with the archbishop of Omaha, Most Rev. George J. Lucas.    Read More >
