Dear St. Andrew Parents,
I hope you had a great week! What a fun time to be a Philly sports fan, even a bandwagon one like me! If you’re not a fan, I hope, at least, you appreciate the excitement in the air.
Please check out the information below, including information on our Halloween Dress Down, signing up for conferences, and Veterans Day.
Go Phils!
Have a great weekend, and we hope to see you at Trunk or Treat tomorrow!
