Dear St. Andrew Parents,
I hope you had a great week!
This will be the last of the 2022 Friday News. A reminder that on Wednesday, December 21 we will have an early dismissal, and CARES will close at 3pm. Any students in CARES must bring their own lunch; we have no cafeteria service that day. Students may wear their gym uniforms on Wednesday.
On Tuesday, December 20, we will have a $1 Christmas dress down day (Red, White, and Green). All proceeds raised will go to the Krasna Family and be placed in an education fund for the two boys. We already have an anonymous donor that is willing to match up to $5,000. Thank you in advance for any support you can provide!
We still have desks and chairs available for pick up. If you would like one, please just come by the front office Monday or Tuesday 8:30-2pm or 3:15-4pm. You do need someone that can carry them to your vehicle.
If things have changed in your household and you need or may need some financial assistance to attend Saint Andrew, please check out the information below.
I hope that you all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy New Year surrounded by your loved ones!
