Good afternoon!  I hope you are staying safe and warm today. Thank you for your support regarding the cold day.  This is always a difficult decision to make, but we felt it was in the best interest of our students and staff. 


Catholic Schools Week

The best week of the year is coming! We love celebrating what makes our school special.  Please see the attached list of fun activities.  Don’t forget to purchase your pancake breakfast tickets.  Online (and discounted!) ticket sales end at midnight tonight.  Tickets will also be available at the door. Please note the typo in last week’s CSW flyer: The community dinner will take place at Raising Cane's. 


ECE and Kindergarten Parents

We look forward to seeing you tomorrow night at 6pm at Mrs. Murphy & Sons Irish Bistro for the Super School Social. Please extend this invitation to others who may be interested in a Saint Andrew education.  Thank you to the Kindergarten parents and SAPO for hosting!


Spirit Day

Catholic Schools Week concludes on Saturday, January 31, as we honor our 8th graders before their basketball games at 11:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. Saint Andrew students who wear SA spirit wear will receive free admission and earn an out-of-uniform Spirit Day pass, redeemable on February 12. Come cheer on our Bulldogs!
