Every student will have their picture taken and proofs will be delivered to your student in approximately two weeks.

MATH CLUB  NEWS
The Math Video Challenge is an innovative program that empowers students to be math teachers,  video producers, actors and artists - all at the same time! Working together in teams, students will create their own videos about math  problems and their associated concepts. 

The Math Video Challenge is designed to get students excited about math while giving them the opportunity to hone their creativity and communication skills. Students form teams to create a video that teaches the solutions to one of the problems from the 2015-2016 MATHCOUNTS School Handbook, and also demonstrates the real-world application of the math concept used in the problem.

Members of the Math Club working after school on their Math Video Challenge.

Sanctus Retreat Prayer Campaign
St. Andrew Parish will be conducting various Sanctus Retreats in the next couple of months. The next one is scheduled for February 27, 2016. We invite you to join us in prayer for the success of the Sanctus Retreat, the Retreat team and Retreat participants. The prayer campaign asks that you stop one minute of your day and pray for the Holy Spirit to ignite the faith of those involved in the retreat. 

"Come Holy Spirit and ignite the faith of my 
brothers and sisters at the Sanctus Retreat. 
May the Holy Spirit assist them with greater 
understanding of scripture and prayer and 
be a companion to them throughout the retreat." 
Amen 

Everyone is invited to participate in this Retreat Day Prayer Campaign. Please share this opportunity with friends, family, and other parishioners.
