Hello Andrew Families! Tomorrow is the last day to turn in Ukulele Club Permission Slips. If your student is wanting to participate and they have not turned one in, today and tomorrow are the last chances to do so. Once all forms are turned in tomorrow afternoon, I will confirm who is in each group and then we will begin next week! The Monday group will start next Monday, February 3rd, and the Thursday group will start next Thursday, February 6th. If you have any questions please reach out to Mrs. Stevely by email at bailey.stevely@andrew.k12.ia.us or through Seesaw. Thanks so much!

Dear Andrew Community School Families, Exciting news! We are partnering with Books Are Fun and their Book Blast program to help build our students’ home libraries. For over 30 years, Books Are Fun has been a trusted partner in promoting literacy. Today, our students learned about the Book Blast Program and the importance of having their own books at home. Tonight, we are asking you to take 7 minutes to support our Student Home Library initiative. Click Here: https://app.booksarefun.com/AndrewCS52030 Here are the steps: Click the link above. Register your student(s). Send invitations to at least 10 friends or family members to support our students (Don’t worry, all the information you provide is secure and never shared with anyone). Need help registering? Watch this short step-by-step video: https://www.bb.booksarefun.com/how-to-complete Why I love this program: It’s guaranteed to put new, age-appropriate books into the hands of every student! 100% of all contributions go toward new books and classroom supplies. The book list is fantastic! It’s attached, check it out. It will take you less than 10 minutes and there is NO financial requirement from you.

Thank you, Taylor Casel and Voy Theatres, for letting LEAP come and watch Sonic 3 when we were unable to go bowling. You are amazing.

Leap had to change their activity today due to the bowling alley having another group scheduled. We will be going to the Voy Theater to see a movie instead. We will be back to school around 5:15. If you planned on picking your student up at the bowling alley, they will now need to be picked up at school. Thank you!
