Dear Families,
What a blessed ending we had to our Holy Week at school with the Blessing of the Palms by Father Joe, followed by Tenebrae and then the Passion. Many thanks to the faculty and staff serving on our Lenten and Holy Week committees who went above and beyond to make this liturgical season so special for our students. These are the things that make me so grateful to be at Saint Andrew - where spiritual formation is part of the education of the whole child, an awesome responsibility we humbly embrace. I pray that the Easter Break was one of reflection, prayer, renewal and rejuvenation for each of you as we prepare for the final six weeks of our academic year.
Only By His Grace,
Veronica Tucker

Sunday April 30th will find us busy again; the council will be doing our regular Breakfast Sunday and sponsoring a Blood Drive. This will be the second to the last Breakfast Sunday so if you have been looking to come out and be part of the event make it sooner rather than later.
The council will also be sponsoring Carter Bloodcare that day for a blood drive. The big upside to this is you do not have to worry about orange juice and cookies to replenish; it will be a short walk for the mobile donor bus to the Parish Hall and a full breakfast.
The Carter BloodCare mobile unit will be parked along the north fence next to the dumpsters in the back parking lot. The mobile unit is somewhat limited in how many people can give blood at a time so if you are on a tight schedule and wish to give blood you can contact Albert Chase alchase44@hotmail.com or call 817-975-9196.
