Today, Andrew School was a sea of PURPLE as our students and staff came together to show support for one of our amazing 4th grade students and to raise awareness for epilepsy! 💜
Wearing purple was more than just a fun dress-up day—it was a powerful reminder that we are stronger together! 💪💜
At Andrew School, we believe in lifting each other up, spreading kindness, and showing that no one stands alone. Today, our Hawks showed just how BIG their hearts are! 🦅💜
💜 One School. One Family. One Powerful Show of Support! 💜

Our 3rd grade Hawks put their creativity and coding skills to the test with an exciting STEM challenge! 🌟
Students used materials from their STEM bins to design and build their very own mazes. But the challenge didn't stop there! They then had to program DASH the robot to successfully navigate through their creations! 🤖
Through teamwork, trial and error, and LOTS of problem-solving, our young engineers discovered that sometimes the best learning happens when things don't go exactly as planned! 💡👏
We love seeing our Hawks THINK BIG, GET CREATIVE, and CODE THEIR WAY TO SUCCESS! 💙💛

Our Andrew Hawks had a FIRE-TASTIC time celebrating Fire Prevention Week today! 🧑🚒❤️
We want to send a HUGE thank you to the Andrew Fire Department for welcoming our students and taking the time to teach them about fire safety! 🚨
We are so grateful for the opportunity our students had to learn about the important work firefighters do, the equipment they use, and ways we can all help keep ourselves and our families safe! 🏠🔥
❤️ Not all superheroes wear capes… some wear helmets and turnout gear! 🦸♂️🚒
Thank you to our local heroes for keeping our community safe and making learning about fire prevention so much fun!
👏 Let's give our amazing firefighters a BIG round of applause! 👏
