Andrew Community School District

3rd-6th Grade Parents, Last week, your child was sent home with a note asking for parents to write their child a letter of encouragement for the upcoming ISASP test. We start testing school-wide next Tuesday with some SPED groups starting Monday. Please have your letter in a sealed envelope sent back to school with your student by Thursday, March 7th so your child has it to read next week when testing begins! Thank you!

Reminder. There will be no afternoon LEAP tomorrow, Wednesday, March 6th, and Thursday, March 7th.

Get your St. Patrick's Day cookie decorating kits! $15.00 for a dozen cookies, frosting, and sprinkles! All proceeds go to the 6th-grade class trip! Order forms are due by the 7th!

Due to conferences next week, there will be no LEAP on Wednesday, March 6th, and Thursday, March 7th

Andrew Families, We wanted to share the pictures of the kids opening their books from the Book Blast event we had last week and also photos from last night's Literacy Night.

In celebration of Read Across America Day, the deaf, hard of hearing, and deafblind learners in Mississippi Bend AEA and Grant Wood AEA have created some very special videos to share their love of reading with you! They did a fantastic job! If you look closely, you might see a face or two that you recognize! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbp_n24TRJ8

LEAP could not have asked for7th better weather yesterday for our annual ski trip. Thank you to all of our parents who volunteered their time to help chaperone. Thank you to Sundown Mountain Resort for an amazing time.

If your student is signed up to go on the LEAP ski trip, please make sure they bring their snow gear with them to school tomorrow.

Andrew Families, Our K-6 students got the pleasure of seeing Gareth Johnson, a Violinist who plays music from classical to hip-hop yesterday at the Ohnward. He plays music for huge events all around the world and has been recognized as one of the best in the field nationwide. The students brought home a flyer yesterday on how you can see his performance. He will be performing with his entire band at the show. Below is a link to give you a little taste of some of his talents. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_ugLQfgZhWiGLMOFVi5X7rq-pIkVE6p-/view?usp=sharing

The 4th graders have been working on some snow plow designs in art class. Yesterday, they were able to learn more about snow plows and see how their design compared to the real thing. They also got to climb inside the truck, see all the levers, and, of course, honk the horn!!
