Andrews Elementary
On Wings of Excellence - 11/3/2017
Dear Andrews Family,
We have just finished another awesome week at Andrews! I am always amazed to see the collaborative learning that takes place in our classrooms and the significant growth that students are making.
We want to thank our PTA Dads’ Club for their assistance with carpool this week. It makes such a difference when dads are involved in the school, and we definitely appreciated the carpool assistance while our Safety Patrol students were away at camp! Speaking of camp, our 5th graders had a blast and learned a lot while they were away. We are grateful that PISD provides an opportunity for 5th grade students across the district to gain a deeper understanding of science concepts through real-life exploration in nature!
We hope that you and your family have a wonderful weekend!
Dr. Joy Lovell, Principal
Andrews Elementary

Thank you!!!
A great big shout out and a heartfelt thank you to our FABULOUS DADS who helped with morning carpool this week! The Andrews Dads' Club took care of carpool duty on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday this week while our Safety Patrol students were at camp. A very special thank you to the dads who handled our morning carpool on Monday morning…without you, we could not have unloaded our 5th graders and their luggage, along with the rest of our students, and still managed to get done with carpool by 7:45 am. We truly appreciate all of you!
