Dear St. Andrew Parents,
Wow, it is hard to believe the year is now complete. Congratulations to our wonderful 8th graders on their graduation. We sure will miss them!
A special thank you to all who made our Graduation Dance an incredible evening! Thank you to the Dance Committee Christie Capriotti, Kris Baumann, Molly Dwyer, Susan Cunningham, and Maria Collins. Thank you also to the other volunteers who helped with building props, preparing food, transforming the cafeteria, cleaning up, monetary donations, and chaperoning! What a night in Space!
There is some important information below. Wishing you a great summer and some rest along the way! See you soon!

- Sad News/Prayer Request – Mrs. Danielle Thompson better known as Dani worked for a number of years in our preschool until she retired a few years ago to take care of her family. Dani was an incredible person who made a great impact during her time here at Saint Andrew. She was such a calming presence that clearly loved all of our children. Her obituary is in the link below. Please pray for the repose of her soul and for her family. May her soul through the mercy of God rest in eternal peace.
