Andrews Teacher of the Year for 2024
Mrs. Tori Booge was nominated by her colleagues as our Teacher of the Year for the 2023-2024 school year. Mrs. Booge has taught fifth grade and third grade. She has sponsored out Student Council which is now called The Kindness Club. As part of that role, she has coordinated groups of students to help at cookie dough pick up, kindergarten orientation, and concessions for basketball games. She also worked with groups of students to help spread mulch in the courtyard earlier this year. She is currently working on coordinating the Talent Show for our students. Her biggest strength is her positivity and energy! Congratulations Mrs. Booge!
Andrews Classified Person of the Year for 2024
Mr. Jason Allen was nominated by the staff as our Classified Person of the Year for the 2023-2024 school year. Mr. Allen does so much each day to take care of our students and staff. He cleans up every kind of spill that students and staff make. He cleans up blood and vomit and bathroom accidents on a daily basis. He helps in the lunchroom for two hours helping students clean up their lunch trays in an orderly fashion. He shovels, salts, and mops up wet floors each time it snows or rains. He cleans our classrooms, cafeteria and offices daily. He even comes back to school at night to help clean up after basketball games and programs. He has been called on more than one occasion when a staff member accidentally sets off the alarm on the weekends. He keeps the lights, air conditioning, heat, and hot water running. He coordinates deliveries, unloads the boxes and breaks down the boxes for recycling. He is an unsung hero to everyone at Andrews! He cares deeply for our students and staff and takes pride in our building. We are so lucky to have him on our team! Congratulations Mr. Allen!!

Kindergarten for 2024-2025
If you have a child who will turn 5 by August 1, 2024, they are eligible for kindergarten! Please fill out the registration form below or call the school office. Once we have your information, we will call you to set up a screening for your child. This gives us valuable information to help figure out how to best help your child learn. You don't have to "pass" the screening to come to kindergarten. It is not that kind of test. It just gives us information to help us teach your child. Our Kindergarten Orientation Night is Wednesday, April 17th. On that night we will let your child do activities in the kindergarten room and ride the big yellow school bus. Parents will meet in the cafeteria to learn more about our school and kindergarten. We will have someone there to help you with registration online if needed.
