Andrew Families,
I am so excited to offer music lessons this summer, specifically in June. I understand that there are not many music-related opportunities around the area, so I am looking forward to hosting new music-related activities for your students here soon.
I will be offering the services listed on the graphic attached. Any of these lesson types can be catered to your student's musical needs. You can schedule lessons for either once or twice a week; $20 for a half-hour or $30 for a full hour. If you have any questions or would like to reach out to get some lessons scheduled, please contact me by email at baileyniedermier@gmail.com.
Looking forward to making fun music memories this summer.
Mrs. Stevely

Andrew Families,
We sent out a message a month or two ago about an error on the calendar with the Spring Break date. We wanted to send a reminder message to inform you that Spring Break starts on Thursday, April 17, and goes through April 21st. We also have a teacher in-service day on Tuesday, April 22nd. Therefore, Andrew students will be off from Thursday, April 17th - Tuesday, April 22nd. Classes will resume on Wednesday, April 23rd, and this day will be an early out.
Andrew Families,
A couple of weeks ago, we sent home papers about your child doing the MRA survey with their class. We sent home papers to fill out ONLY if you do not want your child to participate. We wanted to let you know that we plan on administering this survey starting on Monday, April 14th. Andrew School has given the MRA since 2012 and uses the information in this survey to target areas where we need to improve. The attached letter gives you more information.
If you have questions, please contact Mrs. Hilmer at 563.672.3221.
Families,
Just a reminder that Spring pictures will be April 15th. Pictures are only taken for students who purchase online in advance or bring in the order form before or on the day of pictures.

Families, We have been asked to share these fliers for students in grades 2nd-5th who may be interested in tackle football next fall in Maquoketa or Bellevue. Attached you will find contact and registration information for each.
Passing this information along from ISU Extension and Outreach---We are excited to introduce the Iowa 4-H Statewide Fishing Club, this program is designed to engage students in grades 4-12 with Iowa’s aquatic ecosystems, fishing techniques, and environmental stewardship.
This unique program helps youth step away from screens and into the great outdoors, where they can develop lifelong skills in fishing, fish identification, lure tying, water safety, and more. Through hands-on activities, webinars, and tournaments, members will build confidence and appreciation for nature while connecting with other young anglers across the state.
LEAP had a blast with Jenna Stevens yesterday, making farm models.
If you're interested in finding out more about the preschool program here at Andrew, our 3 and 4 year old Open House will be tomorrow night at 6:30. Please join us!
Andrew 5th Grade Students would like to invite the community to our Wax Museum event this Thursday, April 3rd from 1:00-2:30.
