Fun day at LEAP making Christmas ornaments
Reminder. There will be no after-school LEAP tomorrow, Friday, December 5th.
Andrew LEAP Families.
Please see dates listed for no after-school LEAP. Staff will be doing professional development trainings.
Another reminder will be sent out the day before each date.
When Mother Nature gives us snow, LEAP says "Let's go sledding."
Andrew Families,
Don't forget that our 12 Days of Christmas Dress Up Days begins THIS Thursday, December 4th with "Cozy Christmas Day". We encourage students to wear their Christmas socks and/or slippers that day! You can find the 12 days of dress up calendar below.

Andrew Families,
I wanted to send out a message to remind you to send your child with winter gear. Students need to have all gear (Coat, Snowpants, boots, and a hat) to play out in the snow. If they do not have all the gear, they will need to remain on the blacktop. Also, we require your child to wear a COAT during the winter months to go outside. A hooded sweatshirt does not give your child enough protection outside.
We have received some donations from our community, so if you are in need of assistance to get winter clothing, please reach out to Jaci Hilmer, our Andrew School counselor.

Andrew Families,
Today starts our Giving Tree for the Ronald McDonald House Charities. We encourage anyone who would like to give to come and grab an ornament from the tree. Simply purchase the item on the tag, and return it to the school before December 19th.
Tied Christmas pillows for LEAP today. We had some pretty excited kiddos.
LEAP is having fun with Matchbox Car night

Andrew Community,
I have been asked if we recorded the Veteran's Day Assembly from the other day. We did, but we didn't catch the beginning (missed about the first 5-8 minutes). I hope you can enjoy what we were able to capture.

Andrew Families,
Coming home today is an Information Flyer from Iowa Public Health about lice. We have had a couple of cases here at school, so please take the time and look over your child's head often, especially as we get ready to use our winter gear. Thank you for your time and effort to handle this in your homes so we can prevent the spread of this in our community.
Thanks,
Andrew Staff

The 5th grade class had so much fun today with Katie Peterson from Iowa State Extension & Outreach leading a STEM activity all about engineering! Students became engineers and designed chairs for Goldilocks — testing their creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving skills! 🛠️💡👷♀️🪑 #STEMlearning #FutureEngineers
Our 2nd quarter of LEAP got off to a great start. We did some cooking, crocheting, crafts and bowling.
Due to Professional Development Trainings scheduled for staff, we will not have after-school LEAP on Fridays in December.
December 5, 12 and 19. A reminder will be sent out closer to these days.
This year’s Winter Concert will be held on Thursday, December 4th, in the Andrew Gymnasium at 6:30 PM. Family and friends are encouraged to attend! To ensure students arrive in the correct order and at the gym on time for our performance, we kindly request that students arrive at 6:15 and report to their classrooms. All students are encouraged to wear Christmas colors to the concert. Please be aware that there will be a short intermission before the 4th-6th-grade mini-musical, “How to Become an Elf!”
At the end of the concert, please be aware that pictures with Santa and Mrs. Claus will be taken in the Old Gym. Families will be released at random to get in line. There will be no running or jumping off the stage at this time.
Thank you so much, and we hope to see you there!

Andrew Community,
I wanted to get our electronic newsletter out to families in the community. If you would like a paper copy, they are available in the school vestibule, the Andrew cafe, and the Andrew Country Mart.
