Dear Families,

 

Yesterday kicked off the annual Stephen Breen Wildcat Challenge Basketball Tournament. This event is special for so many reasons. Firstly, it honors Saint Andrew alum Stephen Breen who proudly played basketball at Saint Andrew. Secondly, all proceeds from this tournament benefit the Stephen Breen Memorial Foundation which provides tuition assistance across the Diocese of Fort Worth as well as other forms of assistance for children with cancer. Thirdly, this tournament brings our Saint Andrew community (as well as our larger Catholic Schools family) together as all schools participate in this event. Fourthly, it's a chance to have fun and watch some 6th and 7th grade basketball and cheer on your Wildcats! It's events like this that make our diocese --- and our school --- so very special. Please make plans to attend! GO WILDCATS!

Only by His Grace,
Veronica D. Tucker
