Great experience for our kids!

They decorate the lunch line for every holiday, they encourage kids to try new fruits and vegetables, they know so many kids’ names, and they’re the sweetest ever! We are so grateful to have Cindy, LaVon, and Anita at Andrus!

Make sure to ask your kids about the amazing Bike Rodeo put on by our Health, PE teachers, Valley Regional Transit, and some awesome parent volunteers. They all learned about bike safety, hand signals, how to brake, to say “on your left” when passing, and all wanted to stay out and rodeo the whole day. So fun! Valley Regional Transit

We are so thankful for all of our amazing, helpful, supportive PTA members at Andrus!

On Friday we celebrated a successful Reading Olympics with a Root Beer Float Party in Andrus’ Garden.

Congrats to all of the classrooms for reaching their reading goals. We’re so proud of all the reading that was logged and so grateful for our Andrus Teachers who cultivate a desire and passion for reading.

Special thank you to Andrus 5th graders for helping with the root beer float celebration and to @wincofoods for donating the float ingredients and supplies!

Major thank you to our Andrus Family for helping make this possible through your donations.

After a couple of years of no assemblies, Andrus was able to bring in a Science Wizard and his Extreme Science Assembly.

All grades were able to attend at two different times for about 45 mins.

This show is a large production including two performers, music and amazingly visual demonstrations:
700,000 Volt Van de Graaff generator (VDG): (one of the largest you can find), it creates 10-15 inch lightening bolts and more than enough static to raise hair
Vortex Cannons: creates flying rings of fog 
Floating beach balls: thanks to the Bernoulli effect, we have flight

What did your kid think of the assembly?

A super fun way to get Reading Olympics minutes in is with these fun Playaway audio books from the library. They come with the book to read along.

Start tracking those minutes!! Reading Olympics runs March 2nd through March 8th. Encourage your kids to get as many minutes reading (or listening) as they can!

It’s Read Week at Andrus! Help your child celebrate by dressing up and reading!

Wednesday: Team up for reading. Wear a team jersey or sport shirt. Read about a sport you love.

Thursday: Wear your favorite 80s or 90s gear, read a book you loved when you were little.

Friday: Wear tie dye or a bright colored shirt. Read a book that makes you feel bright!

PTA meeting today, Tuesday 3/1, at noon in the library!

TBT to Valentine's Day and all the love that was shared around our school!

We love seeing all the art and hard work our students have been doing!

Make sure to ask your kids about the visitors at school today. They’re all excited about the reading Olympics that kicks off next week!
