Welcome!

                               Saint Andrew School: 
 Building a culture of life, and a civilization of love through faith and knowledge

I can't believe we are just about at the end of our school year!!!   Our last day of class will be Wednesday, June 2nd.  We will live-stream our end-of-the-year closing at 9:00 am and then dismiss from our classroom at 10:00 am.

Also on the 2nd, we will have our end-of-the-year picnic at Dermond Field.  Please go right from dismissal.  We have a permit for the playground/picnic area from 10:00-12:00.   All children must be accompanied by an adult.  More information about this day will be sent out in the near future.  Unfortunately there is no rain date so we have to hope for nice weather.

For the remainder of May our themes will be Zoo Animals, Ocean Animals, Dinosaurs and Summer Fun.  We only have two more letters to go: Z and Q.  After that we will be reviewing all of our letters.  The children have worked very hard in their ABC Interactive Notebooks.  We can't wait for you to see the final result!  For our Ocean Animal theme,  a visitor from the Adventure Aquarium will be coming to our school.  We will have the presentation in McGettigan Hall so the presenter can use the stage and we can spread out more.  We will be excited to see what our visitor brings from the ocean!

In Religion, we will be focusing on our Blessed Mother Mary.  Every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, we will take turns crowning our Mother Mary and reciting the Hail Mary.  If at anytime during the month of May your child would like to bring in flowers (a single flower or a small bouquet), we will put them on our religion table by our Mary statue.  Speaking of mothers, keep a eye out for some treats coming home and a link for a very special video. :)

On Thursday May 27th, we will be walking to Cocco's Pizza for a fun field trip.  It is just a short distance away from the school.  Please keep a look out for a permission slip.  The pizza store will only be opened for us and the Pre-K 3 class.  We will spread the children out while inside.  If you would rather your child not participate, we ask that you keep your child at home that day.  There is no need to pack a snack that day since the children will be eating the personal sized pizza that they make.  We will have juice for the kids.

Also, there is NO SCHOOL on Thursday, May 13th and Friday, May 14th.  We will have an Asynchronous Day on Friday, May 28th.  Just a reminder that children do not report to school on that day.  Work for them to do at home will be sent home in their folders.  There is NO SCHOOL on Memorial Day (May 31st).
