Dear Families,
Happy 4th Quarter! I pray each of you had some time to relax, reenergize and soak in quality family time this past week. It is hard to believe we are now already in the final stretch of 2016-2017! This Friday, report cards will be distributed electronically to 1st - 8th grades. (Kindergarten paper report cards will be sent home with students.) Please use these tools as an opportunity to praise hard work, encourage students in areas needing growth and come up with strategies to finish the year strong.
Thank you for partnering with our teachers in educating these future leaders.
Only By His Grace,
Veronica Tucker

Thank you for your help in making this Lenten lunch special for the Saint Andrew parishioners.
