Faith Witness
On the first day of school, a parent came in the office wanting to order her child a
Tiger T-Shirt but the money that was in her pocket accidentally spilled out of her pocket in the school parking lot. She told the office that it was $25 cash in case anyone found it and turned it in to the office later. Later, amidst the chaos of first-day-of-school traffic, students, and parents, a school parent and his child came into the office with the $25 cash, saying it was found in the parking lot! What a beautiful witness to the faith-filled community we are blessed with here at St. Andrew's!
