Andrew Families,
Here are two recordings of the band and music concert from last night's terrific show. Unfortunately, I got to the record button a little late and missed the first kindergarten/1st-grade song, Down by the Bay. Everything else should be included. I hope you enjoy the show!!

Andrew Families,
Due to the anticipated severe weather hitting our area this afternoon, we are releasing students at 1:30 to ensure everyone gets home safely. With this early release, it means we WILL NOT have afterschool LEAP, tutoring, or ukelele club.
The Andrew School is seeking parent feedback on our consideration of starting our students' school day fifteen minutes earlier for the 2024-2025 school year. Please click the link below to access more information along with a link to submit your feedback in a 2-5 minute survey. https://5il.co/2ije3

Parachute fun in PE class!
The Andrew Student Lighthouse Team is sending our extra and used eclipse glasses to a company that will distribute them to students in Latin American schools. This will allow these students to experience the Solar Eclipse in October. We are glad to see these glasses get used another time and to help out others across the globe. Another way the students of Andrew are helping others!!
Raffle Basket Fundraiser! We will be having a raffle basket fundraiser to support our TAG teacher Mrs.Kent who had a house fire recently. All proceeds will go directly to her family. Thank you to those who donated items to make this happen!
We will draw at our Spring Concert on April 18th (you don't have to be present to win).

Parents who purchased Julia Cook Books,
Your orders came in today and are being sent home with your students!
Thanks for supporting this great author!
LEAP will be staying at school today.
We will not have after-school LEAP on Thursday, April 18th. This will make it easier for students to get ready and prepare for their Spring Concert.
Parents,
For those of you attending the Choir Festival Concert tonight. The concert is at the Art Experience building in downtown Maquoketa (124 South Main Street). It used to be the old Osterhaus Pharmacy building.
Dear Andrew Families,
On Monday, April 8th there will be a solar eclipse. This is a rare opportunity for students to witness. From what I have heard, this will take place between 1:00 and 2:00 pm.
Our main priority is to ensure the safety of all the students during the solar eclipse. Our students are inside during this time as recesses get over at 12:30.
We are all planning to go outside to witness this event with the proper gear. To do this safely, the school has purchased a pair of proper solar eclipse viewing glasses for each student and staff member. If you would not like your child/children to participate in the viewing of the eclipse, please notify the school at 563.672.3221.
If you have any questions or concerns, please let us know.
Thanks,
Mr. Kirchhoff
Due to restrooms not being open yet at city parks, LEAP will be staying at school today and next Thursday.
Andrew families.....Trent's bus route (Bus #10) is going to be running about 10-15 minutes behind today. We apologize for any inconvenience.
Andrew Families,
A couple of families asked us to share the slideshow presentation with the month's pictures.

We have been asked to share this flyer for students in grades 2nd-5th who may be interested in tackle football next fall in Bellevue. Attached you will find contact and registration information.
Families,
This morning, famous author Julia Cook came to do presentations for our students. Her presentations were AMAZING and our students really enjoyed her. Your student is being sent home with a book order form. Books are shipping and tax free. If you'd like to purchase some books for your student, please fill out and return the form and your payment to school by next Wednesday, March 27th. Thank you!
