The Saint Andrew Home and School Association is dedicated to assisting the pastor, principal,

The dues assist in offsetting the costs of our school assemblies, Catholic School Week fun, and activities throughout the year. In order to continue to offer these no-cost and low-cost events we kindly ask that all families pay the $25-per-family Home and School Association annual membership fee. Payment of these dues will entitle each family to a copy of the Home and School Directory published in the fall.

CYO INFORMATION

Spring Sport Registration CLOSING WEDNESDAY MARCH 15th

Registration for St. Andrew CYO spring sports is open through March 15th. Sign up for track and baseball at https://standrew.sportngin.com. If teams do not form for any reason, a full refund will be issued.

JV & Varsity Baseball

Dear St. Andrew 6th and 5th grade families,


As we have done for the past two spring seasons, St. Andrew CYO is looking to field a JV Baseball Team for the 2023 season. However, to do so we will need at least 12 student-athletes to register. As of now, counts are too low for us to field a team.


The CYO JV Baseball League is a competitive league that will complement your son playing in a local in-house league. Practices would be in the early evening (starting around 5:00 p.m.) two to three nights a week, and games would start in early April. Most games are after school, and rides can be coordinated if needed.


If your son is interested in playing, we ask you to consider signing them up. All skill levels are welcome, and the sooner we know if we can field a team we can start practicing.

My name is Jim Pio and I have served as the head coach for the past two seasons and would fulfill that role again this season if we can field a team. I have four students at St. Andrew, and I believe it is important for student-athletes to participate in sports in an effort to help them grow in faith and understanding of their church.


If your son is interested in playing or if you have any questions, please feel free to contact Jim Pio at jklpio19@gmail.com. Registration is also open online at https://standrew.sportngin.com/. If we are unable to field a team, all registration fees will be returned. We can also work with other local parishes to place players if interested.


Thanks, Jim Pio
