Andrews Elementary
On Wings of Excellence
Dear Andrews Family
Spring has definitely arrived, and not only are the flowers and trees blooming outside, but the students at Andrews are also continuing to grow and flourish! I love to spend time in classrooms, watching our amazing teachers as they instruct and listening to insightful dialogue from students as they collaborate and learn from one another. I can’t wait to see how the remainder of the spring unfolds!
You will notice below that exciting events are quickly approaching here at Andrews – we hope you will choose to participate and look forward to seeing you! I hope that you and your family have a wonderful weekend!
Sincerely,
Joy Lovell, Principal
Andrews Elementary
