We will have a kids Fun Run throughout the school and adults are encouraged to walk laps in the gym and around the school as an option for their 5K. None of the events will be held outdoors. Donuts, snacks, water, and juice will be provided at the event!!
Your flexibility with this event is appreciated!!

Andrew Community,
Attached is a picture of our 2023-2025 Leadership shirt that was created by Koda Jamison and Peter Hoff. The Parent Lighthouse Team purchases a shirt for every current student and staff to use for the next couple of years. This is the shirt that we use for Assembly days and other school celebration days. If you would like to order a shirt for yourself, the cost is $15 (S-XL, $2 more per X added to size). Please indicate the size(s) needed with payment. These orders need to be in by October 18th. A slip to order shirts is coming home with your child on October 12th. If you are needing a slip, there will be extras in the office.

Dear Families,
For our upcoming Make A Difference Day we are asking for donations. We are asking for you to bring in an unopened pillow or a brand new white pillowcase for our Sleep in Heavenly Peace Fundraiser. (Please keep everything in the original package!) The pillowcases will be tye-dyed by our students as part of our Make a Difference Day. Then we will donate the pillows and pillowcases to Sleep in Heavenly Peace for them to use as needed. We are excited for this project and we look forward to having your help. Please bring donations in during conferences on October 11th & 12th. We are trying to stuff a bus and a suburban with pillows and pillowcases! Thank you for your help!
Families,
The city of Andrew is repaving the road at the back of the school and in front of the cemetery. This means you will not be able to enter that road for drop-off or pickup for the next 2 days. The plan is going to be for cars to enter from Calhoun Street (the normal drop-off/pickup exit) and circle around. As you enter, please stay to the right and circle around like at normal drop-off. A person will be at the gate to help direct traffic. Sorry for the inconvenience.
LEAP will be staying at school today
