Andrew Families,

We wanted to make sure that you all knew that there is NO SCHOOL on Friday, October 16th (Conference Comp Day for Teachers). There is also NO SCHOOL on Monday, October 19th (this No School Day is missing on the Magnet - sorry). This is a professional learning day for teachers.

🚒🔥 A BIG THANK YOU TO OUR LOCAL FIREFIGHTERS!🔥🚒

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! 👏

Custodian Appreciation Day
Our 6th graders have been learning about busking and found sounds in music class. They discovered that making music doesn’t always require a traditional instrument, sometimes everyday objects and a little creativity are all you need. Students worked together to create short performances using found sounds and rhythmic patterns, then shared their creations with a neighboring class. They really embraced the challenge, some groups even brought in costumes and created skits to go along with their performances!

💻🔧 Taking a Look Inside Technology! 🔧💻

Our 3rd Grade Computer Science students got to do some hands-on exploring! A huge THANK YOU to Mr. Raab for bringing in some old computers for our students to take apart and investigate! 🙌

Students had the chance to see what’s really happening inside a computer—examining the different parts, asking questions, and discovering how all those pieces work together. 🖥️⚙️🔍

What a fun way to turn curiosity into learning! We may just have some future computer scientists, engineers, and tech experts in the making! 🌟
