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!

Students at Andrew Elementary School came together to celebrate Make a Difference Day on Friday by engaging in meaningful service projects that support the Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC). The day was filled with creativity, teamwork, and community spirit as students worked on a variety of activities designed to help families in need.

I’m reaching out to share an exciting opportunity for all K–5th grade girls and boys in your school community. We’re launching a brand-new Cub Scout Pack—Pack 3238—right in Maquoketa, and we’d love to invite your students to our “Fishing with Friends” event happening this Saturday, October 25, 2025, at Horseshoe Pond!
Attached is a virtual flyer with all the details. It’s a fun, free event designed to introduce families to Cub Scouting in a relaxed and friendly setting. We’re working hard to get this new pack up and running to serve the youth in your community, and events like this help us connect with families who might be interested.

We will be transporting our whole grade share kids on Monday, 10/20/2025, to their prospective schools of Bellevue Middle School and High School, and Maquoketa Middle School and High School. We will have 2 bus drivers driving routes to pick up kids. They will meet at the Andrew School just like every morning to switch kids to the correct shuttles. Lonny and Jay will be calling the parents as well to let you know pick-up times, as they will be different.
Come support our Student Lighthouse iTeam n their efforts to raise money for the Ronald McDonald House Charities at our fall conferences bake sale!
