St. Louis Catholic School students came back to school with a surprise! A new GaGa pit from SLCS alumni and Boy Scout, Carl Friesenhahn! Thank you, Carl! "The first of its kind at St. Louis, a brand-new GaGa Pit has arrived. Many volunteers spent hours assisting me in making my Eagle Project a success. I am glad I undertook this project. Children at St. Louis are going to love the Pit. I would like to thank St. Louis Catholic School, St. Louis H.S.A. and all other generous donors who helped my project in the form of monetary donations. GaGa Ball is a type of dodgeball played in a pit. If the ball hits a player’s knee or below, you are out. Only hands are allowed to be used.” -Carl Friesenhahn, St. Louis Catholic School, Class of 2017 B.S.A. Troop 89 NEW ST. LOUIS
