We are THRILLED to announce that through your generosity, St. Andrew's exceeded our fundraising goal on Giving Tuesday!
We had 105 donors, raised $13,350 for 22-23 Annual Giving, AND we greatly increased our Class Participation Percentages!
Our next goal is for every class to reach 100% Family Participation, so we can unlock the Mary Ann Bendler matching gifts of $850 for every class. We are getting close!

This week in Spanish, we learned about Celia Cruz, the Queen of Salsa, and how she impacted people with her music. We even tried some salsa dancing while listening to her music! Azucar!! (sugar) is one of her famous sayings.

Current Bluebirds, Redbirds, and Tadpoles Parents
This is such an exciting time for your family – your children will be transitioning to PK3 Tadpoles or to PK4 next School year. If you haven’t toured yet, now is the time to take a sneak peek at the next grade level for your child! You can schedule online your tour online here.
Current 4th Grade Parents
Believe it or not, it's time to begin thinking about "Middle School" at St. Andrew's. The 4th Grade students will have a special 4th Grade visit to Middle School in January. It’s also a great idea for parents to tour as well. It has probably been several years since you first toured, and your focus may not have been on Middle School at that time. Schedule a tour here to take a sneak peek at the Grades 5-8 for your child.
