Whether you attended in person or in spirit, thank you for helping us celebrate 65 years of Saint Andrew’s Episcopal School and 70 years of Saint Andrew’s Episcopal Church! From the Evensong and reflections on our history, to the bagpipe procession and the celebration on Crestbrook Field, it was very inspiring to see so many individuals and families, across generations, whose lives have been shaped by Saint Andrew’s. We are grateful to have shared such a special evening with our community.
