Dear St. Andrew Parents,
I hope you all had a great week! The weather could not make up its mind, but we still were able to finish the year and celebrate the great work put forth from our students and teachers. We are extremely proud and grateful to have taught our Class of 2021. They were leaders the entire way, and we know great things will come to them.
Most years there are always some things you know you will remember forever and some takeaways that you know will make you better down the road. For me, I think this year will set a record for memories and takeaways. I knew I was blessed and in a great place when we moved to Newtown and Saint Andrew, but the pandemic put it into a whole new light of how blessed I truly am. Thank you to all of you for the support you have shown us this year. Our administrators, teachers, and staff are extremely grateful, and we could not have done it without you.
In an effort to learn and improve, we ask that you please take a few minutes to give us some feedback by completing the form below.
