Andrews Elementary
On Wings of Excellence
Dear Andrews Family
What a great week we have had at Andrews! We enjoyed the opportunity to celebrate Veterans Day with all of our students and staff. Plano West Senior High School Color Guard students, the Andrews choir, and two outstanding U.S. military veterans helped our students to more deeply understand the significance of Veterans Day.
As we approach this season of thankfulness, we are definitely aware that your consistent support and encouragement at home play a significant role in the success of all our Andrews students. Thank you for your partnership with us! We are very grateful for all of the time and effort that you invest. Please read below for important information about upcoming events and activities. Have a wonderful weekend!
Joy Lovell, Principal
