SAS Lunch/Dinner Out

T his year we are going to designate the funds from each of our 6 Lunch/Dinner Out events to benefit a specific Specials Class...Art, P.E., Music, Spanish. Last year, with your support, we raised over $4800! 

Our first Lunch/Dinner out will be held on Wednesday, September 16 at Cousin's Bar-B-Q, at both the McCart and the Bryant Irvin locations. This first Lunch/Dinner Out will  benefit the Music Department. 

Come say "Hi" to Mr. Llewellyn, Mrs. Button & Mrs. Tucker. They will all be  at the Bryant Irvin location beginning at 5:00pm.  Please consider inviting one of our new SAS families to meet you for dinner. 

SAS will receive 25% of the profits.   This is also the perfect time to buy gift cards for future dinners, gifts, or to give to the SAS Auction.


Book Fair/Booknic

Mark your calendars!  

We invite you to attend our Scholastic "Monster Book Fair" which will begin on Friday, September 18 th, and run through September 25th  in our school library.  This book fair is a fundraiser for the 8th grade year-end activities.  

Parents and/or grandparents are invited to join us during one of our Booknic events.  Bring a blanket, have lunch with your child in the courtyard, and then visit our book fair.  We will be hosting the Booknic over the course of several days based on the following schedule:  

Tuesday, Sept. 22nd  - ½ day PreK classes, Kindergarten, 3rd & 5th  grades 
      
Wednesday, Sep. 23rd - All day PreK classes, 1st, 4th, and 7th grades
      
Thursday, Sep. 24th - 2nd, 6th, and 8th grades

Booknic will be held during your child's regular school lunch time.  Early next week, your child will bring home a Booknic RSVP form or you can print it out.  Please return the form by Friday, Sep. 18th.  Those students whose parents are not able to attend the Booknic will have lunch in the cafeteria and recess as usual.  

If you cannot make it to the Booknic, please feel free to come to the Book Fair whenever it is convenient.  We will be open from 7:30am - 3:30pm every day through the 24th, and from 7:30am - 12:00pm on the 25th. 

North Texas Giving Day

The Countdown is on - only 8 days to North Texas Giving Day!

North Texas Giving Day
Thursday, September 17th
6:00am - Midnight

This year the money raised will be used to provide air conditioning & heat to the 1st - 3rd grade hallways & the 4th - 6th grades hallways. Remember, this is not an Annual Fund donation. Last year, SAS raised $75,000 on North Texas Giving Day.   Please  prayerfully consider making a donation, which will benefit all of our students.

Bonus funds and rewards will be randomly awarded to organizations throughout the 18 hours of giving.

Daisy Girl Scouts

There will be a parents meeting for Kindergarten girls interested in joining Daisy Girl Scouts on Sunday, September 13th from 3:30pm to 4:30pm in the Parish Hall of St. Andrew Catholic Church.   We will be in the big room downstairs.  We will have an activity for the girls to do while the parents discuss what to expect this year.  Please email Elizabeth Sutton  if you have any questions.

Safe Environment

The next available Keeping Children Safe Class being offered at Saint Andrew Catholic School will be held on September 23rd from 5:30pm - 7:30pm in the Parish Hall. This is an initial training for those of you who have never taken a live session. Please email Lisa Harrington to sign up for this session.
Remember, if you plan on volunteering or visiting our campus you must have this class.

The Keeping Children Safe training is good for 3 years. If you have already taken the training, Lisa Harrington, Safe Environment Coordinator, will notify you within the next few weeks if you are in need of a renewal session.  

Classes being held throughout the entire diocese are listed on the Diocesan website .

Annual Fund

Please send your Annual Fund pledge card to the office.  REMEMBER all gifts matter and make a difference in our participation percentage.  If any parent or grandparent knows someone at a foundation or corporation that might consider making a donation to SAS, please call Rose Hall, SAS Development Director, at 817-292-4355 or send her an  email.  Thank you so much.
