News for the Parents of Saint Andrew Catholic School

FROM THE PRINCIPAL

Dear Families,

It was WONDERFUL seeing you at the Fall Festival on Sunday. There is nothing better than all those sweet painted faces with confetti-strewn hair and contagious giggles. Our chairs, Lindsey Borsellino, Cassie Patrick and Sabrina Renteria, along with all the booth chairs and volunteers pulled off an event to be remembered. The pep rally that kicked off the weekend was also amazing. Mrs. Carolyn Reed and her National Junior Honor Society members, cheerleaders and band got everyone fired up! I must admit that the most powerful event in my eyes was at the close of the pep rally when the entire school recited the 3 O'Clock Prayer to the Divine Mercy. I regularly have moments when my breath is taken away by the children on our campus. That was one of those moments. We cheer together. We laugh together. We play together. We study together. Most importantly... We pray together.

Only By His Grace,
Veronica Davidson Tucker
