Teacher Appreciation Week Thank YOU!
We had an amazing Teacher Appreciation Week! Every day the staff at Father Andrew White School received tokens of appreciation to show how thankful we are for all that they do to love and teach our students! Gifts included heartfelt chalk messages, a refreshing breakfast, a lovely lunch, creative stickers, handmade cards, hand picked flowers and beautiful bouquets, a Tag Day, gift cards and more! Thank you to the families that contributed to these gifts and for the creative crew of parent volunteers (Kaitlin Allan, Carrianne Downey, Kristen Haley and Morgan Valeski) who made this week so special for our staff!
National Day of Prayer
Thank you to Melissa Barrick who arranged our National Day of Prayer event and took the photo of our 8th graders before the May Crowning. We appreciate you!
