Dear Parents,

 

We are in the midst of a time of fall celebrations-—this week we have already celebrated the Hindu festival of lights, Diwali, and Halloween. This weekend, we will celebrate All Saints Day with Eucharist in the Felix duPont, Jr. Chapel and Rutter’s “Requiem,” performed by the Chorale, Choral Scholars and student and faculty musicians. I hope some of you can join us for this service, which will be held at 5 p.m. on Sunday, November 6.

 

Last week I mailed a survey to all parents. The survey will help St. Andrew’s as we evaluate the School and plan for the future, both through our Middle States Evaluation and board of trustees’ strategic planning retreat this year. For your convenience I have included links to the survey and my letter below. I hope you will take some time to complete the survey and return it to my office at St. Andrew’s. As always, I appreciate your thoughtful insights.

 

Sincerely,

Tad Roach

Did you know that the full St. Andrew’s tuition of $33,000 falls more than $17,000 short of the actual cost of a St. Andrew’s education? This year, St. Andrew’s will spend over $50,000 to educate each child on our campus. We hope you will consider a gift to St. Andrew’s Annual Fund to show your support for a great school.
