Dear Families,

 

Thank you for your incredibly generous support of the Auction! A HUGE shout-out to Cherrie Cannon and Erica Kinchen for their efforts. It takes a full year to prepare for that one magical night in April. These awesome Moms gave countless hours for the benefit of every student at Saint Andrew and we are forever grateful. Thanks also go out to all committee chairs and our Development team. And, thank you to all who gave that night and the many who gave online and those who volunteered their time. And it's not too late! You can still visit and purchase Wildcat Parties or donate to our Fund-A-Project through https://one.bidpal.net/standrew2018/welcome. Our goal is to place the interactive learning monitors into as many classrooms as possible. We would love to blow our goal out of the water so please consider giving. Every student at Saint Andrew Catholic School will benefit from these devices which allow us to enhance instruction and engage all types of learners. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you for supporting the students of Saint Andrew!

Only by His Grace,

Veronica D. Tucker

Last tutoring session of the year!!

If your child (2nd - 6th grade) needs help with homework, studying or organization, the National Junior Honor Society  Junior Ments can help! Tutoring will take place in Mrs. Reed's classroom from 3:10pm -  3:40pm* . 

Please  click here  to sign up for tutoring on Tuesday, May 1st.

Saint Andrew Catholic School's annual May Crowning will take place on Tuesday, May 1, 2018 at 2:00pm in the Church.  We gather to honor Mary during this special service, a long standing tradition of our 8th grade students.  One girl and one boy from the eighth grade class are selected each year for the honor of placing a beautiful crown of flowers on the statues of Mary and Joseph. 

We would like for all students to bring a flower on Tuesday morning to honor Mary.  The flowers are to be dropped off in the Cafeteria first thing in the morning on the way to class  We ask that you do not send the bright neon colored/dyed flowers and flowers with glitter. They tend to be a little messy!

Parents, we would love to have your help arranging the flowers for the May Crowning. This will take place in the cafeteria immediately after drop off. If you would like to help or have any questions, please email Lisa Harrington. 

Please click here to RSVP  online for this event.

The total cost to implement The Body Matters program school-wide during 2018-19 is $18,500.

  The ongoing, annual cost per student to implement the program is only $33.

If your child has received vaccines since school started in August, please send us a copy of those records.

 

6.  Upcoming field day May 29, we do NOT keep sunscreen or bug spray in the clinic. Students are not allowed to keep either item with them during field day. You are welcome to apply sunscreen and bug spray at home prior to arriving to school for the day.
