Dear St. Andrew Parents,
I hope everyone had a great week and time last week at Trunk or Treat! We have heard great feedback. The best way to say thanks is to consider volunteering with Home and School. You can reach out to Home and School at homeandschoolsas@gmail.com. They help to organize our great community events. Thanks to our Home and School Team, especially the Trunk or Treat committee, Lisa Warnke, and Julie Schad!
Just a reminder that we will have a black and orange Halloween Dress Down Day on Monday, October 31. Costumes are not permitted for grades 1-8. All money raised will go to support Joy’s Comforts for Cancer, a charity started by two of our 8th-grade students. Please see the attached flyer for more information. All students are asked to donate at least $1 to participate in our dress-down day.
Also, if you have any interest in subbing or an assistant position (part or full-time) at Saint Andrew, please complete this initial interest form. We are considering adding another position, like to screen ahead, and we can always use more subs. Even if you are only available 1 day a week, that could help. These positions pretty much follow the student calendar, except for a few training/prep days. You get the days off your children are off and time with them in the summer. Thanks for considering.
Have a great weekend!

- The increases to both programs this year will allow thousands of additional families to send their children to the school that best fits their needs. Catholic schools continue to benefit greatly from these programs.
