LEAP will be staying at school today.
Families,
For some reason, our phone line is not working correctly. The phone keeps circling back to the options of dialing 1 to talk with someone at the school and 2 for someone at Little Leaders. We apologize for this inconvenience and have someone coming out Monday morning to fix it. In the meantime, please send any school messages by email to carla.till@andrew.k12.ia.us or to your student's teacher through Seesaw or email.
Just a reminder that the fundraiser orders and 5K Spooky Sprint signups are both due on Tuesday, September 26th.
Yesterday we talked with all the students who ride a school bus to or from school about our bus expectations. We informed the students why it was important to follow each of these expectations. Attached you will find the sheet that helps show these expectations.
Families and Community Members,
We just wanted to remind everyone if you plan on participating in the 5K Spooky Sprint, registration is due by September 26th. The shirts will be orange and the design and wording will be made with glow-in-the-dark ink... If you are not able to participate but still would like a shirt, they are available for $15 (Please indicate - just a shirt on your form).
Hope to see you there!!

Do you want to wear a hat to school on Wednesday, September 20th? We are encouraging all students to bring a $1.00 donation to school on Wednesday, September 20th to help support Make a Difference Day. Make a Difference Day will be supporting Sleep In Heavenly Peace this year. All money raised will go towards purchasing supplies for our activities that day.
Andrew Families,
We had an item that needed to be fixed on the school calendar. The fix is for November 22. That day is a No school day for students or staff. It was simply not colored correctly and we forgot to include that in the fall break. Attached is the fixed calendar.
Families and Community Members,
Here is the shirt design for the 5K Spooky Sprint this year. The shirts will be orange and the design and wording will be made with glow-in-the-dark ink... If you are not able to participate but still would like a shirt, they are available for $15 (Please indicate - just a shirt on your form). I am also including the registration form which is due on September 26th (just in case you don't receive one or need another).
Hope to see you there!!

Parents and Guardians,
Two things are coming home today with your students. The first item is a Red Wheel Fundraiser Packet. Students in K-6 will be bringing these home to try to raise funds for the kids to do fun stuff throughout the year. In the past we have taken the students to the skate park, gone to the Voy Theatre, etc. The other item coming home is the signup for the 5K run. This year it is called the Spooky Sprint. The shirt design will be shared once we have that from the designer.
LEAP will be going to Little Bear Park in Maquoketa today. We will return around 5:20.
We still have room for a few more golf teams. Please look at the information below and call one of the Parent Lighthouse Members to get signed up.

Andrew Families,
Please make sure your kids have tennis shoes for PE class this year. We will have PE class on Mondays and Thursdays. We will have PE on Wednesdays as well the second half of the year. Thanks!
Here are a couple of photos from our flag-raising ceremony yesterday. For those new to Andrew, this is a tradition we do on the first day of school. The flag gets raised, a staff member sings the national anthem, and then we all do the Pledge of Allegiance. Look this year we even got our construction guys to join us!!
