We are still taking students for Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays.
Welcome Back to School! It was SO much fun to see all of those smiles this morning during our flag raising ceremony. As you can see, Mr. Till was ready to greet the kids after an exhausting summer and Kira was VERY excited to see all of her friends coming back to school!
The Parent Lighthouse Team invites you to take a picture in front of the Welcome Back to School signs located between the playground and Little Leaders. The signs will be up tomorrow and Wednesday. They will be put back up so the Preschool students can take a picture in front of them on Monday.
Happy First Day!!

Hello, I am Charley Ohnemus and I am the new art teacher at Andrew and can't wait to get started! A little about myself: My husband, Tyler, is a police officer and we have four kids: Makenna (14), Tenley (11), Gable (10), and Lawson (19 months). I spend most of my time watching or coaching my children in their various sports, but I also really love to travel! I grew up in DeWitt and am the youngest of 12 kids. I was an aunt before I was even born and growing up I spent most of my time babysitting, so being surrounded by kids all day feels just like home! I am looking forward to a great year here at Andrew!

Hey everyone, Mrs. Ehlers here!
I am super excited to begin my journey with Andrew! A little about me, I have been married to my husband since 2018, and have two puppy children; Boe and Lady. We love to be outdoors, go camping, and watch stock car races. My favorite sports teams are the Iowa Hawkeyes and the Philadelphia Eagles. I currently live in Lost Nation, but grew up in Maquoketa, Iowa. I am going into my fourth year as a teacher, and all have been in special education. I can't wait to start this school year!
