A Fortnightly Newsletter for St. Andrew's Parents

(See links to updated St. Andrew’s news stories below.)

September 23, 2005

 

Dear Parents,

 

I have just returned from the last family-style lunch in the dining room of this third week of the school year. In an announcement at lunch I related to the students how pleased I am with the energy and tone of St. Andrew’s at this point in the year. (In fact, as a reward for great work and as a rest after what promises to be a very long weekend, filled with activities and excitement, I announced that we have cancelled the first three periods of classes on Monday!)

 

I hope that the news related below helps you direct your conversations as you talk to your children over the weekend. I would particularly like to bring your attention to the first news item—we are working hard to fill a truck with supplies headed to St. James Church in New Orleans, Louisiana, an Episcopal Church that is swamped with relief work. I have also included a link to a talk I gave to the students recently about major School rules and the culture of St. Andrew’s.

 

By the next time I send you this bi-weekly e-mail, we will be only one week before Parents Weekend. Packets explaining the activities of the weekend will be mailed to you very soon and the full Parents Weekend schedule remains posted on the School Web site. (See link below.) The fall continues at a rapid pace!

 

As always, please feel free to contact me any time if you have questions about the School or your child. Thank you so much.

 

Sincerely,

Tad Roach
