Anyone who brings in a donation can dress out of uniform on April 26, 2024. Additionally, the class that brings in the most food will receive a prize.

​

Bags will go home today and may be returned to the school during the week of April 22-26.

 

RACE FOR EDUCATION SPONSORSHIPS:

Our RFE is just around the corner and we are looking for sponsors to help make this day a fun and successful event for our students. Sponsors can be families or businesses. We have already sent out requests to some community members but wanted to open it up to our school families as well. Please consider being a race sponsor or pass along the sponsorship letter to your employer. The letter can be found under the Important Papers link above.

​

SOUP SALE FOR POSITIVE BEHAVIOR:

Thank you to everyone who purchased soup this weekend. We sold out after the 6:00 pm Mass. The school will be selling soup again following the Masses during the weekend of May 11 & 12 . Our very own teachers will be making soup and selling it by the quart for $8 each. All proceeds will go towards purchasing rewards and acknowledgements for our students showing their FAITH In Action. You may have heard your kids talking about the "Castle Cart" this year which is where kids can trade in points earned for a reward. Currently our cart has been funded by the personal contributions of our admin, teachers, and staff. Going forward we hope to sell soup one weekend per month to help budget rewards for our amazing students.

On the menu for May is...

• Mrs. Danyluk- Itailain Sausage

• Mrs. Leese - Chicken & Broccoli

​

STAFF APPRECIATION WEEK:

The week of May 6-10th we will be celebrating all the wonderful staff we have here at St. Andrew Catholic School. In order to make this a super fun week we could use a few donations. Please take a look at the sign up link below to see if you are able to contribute in any way. Than you!
