What Daisies Do
Don't we all wish we could look at the world through a Girl Scout Daisy's eyes? Everything they do-from planting a garden to putting on a skit, to proudly adding that first petal to their vest-sparkles with that "first time ever" newness! Along the way, they'll use their Daisy exuberance to help others-and they'll never forget how that feels. Every Daisy meeting is an adventure filled with giggles, energy, and excitement.
Please join us for a parent information meeting to learn more about Daisy Girl Scouts.
Parish Hall Downstairs.
Wednesday, August 15th at 3:15-4 and 6:30-7:30

The example
that our Saint Andrew families model by generously sharing their time is a priceless asset to our school community. Our partnership in faith helps form highly educated saints and citizens.
Events such as the Fall Festival and our Auction would not be successful without the help of our incredible volunteers. A packet was sent home with your child on Monday that contains a comprehensive list of events, dates and ways you can get involved.
Simply check where you want to help and
sign the attached form and return your packet (only page(s) you are checking) to your child's homeroom teacher by Friday, August 17th. Classes with 100% participation will receive a popsicle party!
Please
click here for a copy of the volunteer packet.

The Spiritual Life Committee at Saint Andrew Catholic School offers two blessed st
atues to its families: A statue of Rosa Mystica and an Immaculate Heart of
Mary Statue.
Each week (from Wednesday afternoon to the following Wednesday morn
ing) two families will have the opportunity to take these statues home and use them as a source of inspiration, prayer and reflection. The tote bag containing the statue will also have
suggested prayers. This special tradition will hopefully be one full of meaning and faith for each of you.
Click here
to sign up.
Email Karen Schroder if you have any questions.
