THANK YOU!! Thank you to the St. Andrew's School staff for the extra help last week so I could attend a trip to Costa Rica with my husband, Kevin. We had a terrific time! Costa Rica is so beautiful! I will treasure this experience and am so grateful for the opportunity provided by all who supported my time away.

Students should be at the high school at 6:45 this Thursday for the program wearing Christmas dress clothes or a nice uniform. It will be live streamed here:
