St. Andrew's School

📣 We’re excited to share that Hannah Barr has been officially named Head of School at St. Andrew’s!

Over the past two years—as Principal and most recently as Acting Head of School—Hannah has led with heart, vision, and a deep commitment to our students and mission.

“It is with deep gratitude and tremendous joy that I step into this role. St. Andrew’s is a place where every child is known, loved, and celebrated—and I’m honored to continue this work with our incredible community.” — Hannah Barr

We’re proud to welcome Hannah into this role and excited for all that’s ahead!

This morning, we were greeted with a beautiful sunrise. The perfect way to kick off our breakfast for education event, Rise and Shine. Seeing the event shining bright on the marquee was such an incredible moment, symbolizing the warmth and joy of our school. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who made this event possible! Your generosity, dedication, and support mean the world to us. Most importantly, we celebrate our incredible students, whose talents continue to inspire us all.
Your support makes a lasting impact, and we are so grateful!

At St. Andrew’s, music is a big part of our school. From classroom practice to the big stage, our students shine through song, rhythm, and creativity. Check out this collection of videos showcasing their hard work and talent! 🎻

📢And don’t forget!! Our students will bring their musical gifts to Rise and Shine, our special breakfast event supporting education Thursday, March 27th. Check out our website or our link in bio for more details on this event!🌞

In STEAM class we celebrated St. Patrick’s Day by sorting through our green building materials to engineer a blueprint and execute a house design for our magical leprechauns!

Every dollar raised at Rise and Shine for Education helps our students thrive through academics, social emotional learning, and the arts!

Happy Friday and happy Music in Our Schools Month! 🎶 Here’s a picture of our 5th graders in action as they played a round of rhythm dominoes! Students had to match various complex rhythms to create a domino explosion on the floor! THANK YOU to our dedicated music educators who help our students express their creativity through music!

Bringing back !🎉⭐️

Last month, we proudly celebrated Black History Month at St. Andrew’s School. While Black history is not limited to one month, we took time to engage in meaningful conversations, deepen our learning, and inspire creativity and reflection throughout our community!

Our teachers guided students through powerful projects that explored Black history, culture, and achievements. From classroom discussions to decorative bulletin boards celebrating Black excellence.

We also felt the love on Valentine’s Day! Staff and students dressed in their favorite Valentine’s Day outfits and students had a blast creating VALENTINE’S DAY SLIME! It was a fun way to celebrate kindness, community, and love!💕

March is Music in Our Schools Month! 🎶

We’re inviting St. Andrew’s families to share their love of music with our students! Whether you sing, play an instrument, write songs, or make beats, we’d love to have you visit the music room and inspire our young musicians.

Interested? Fill out the form located in our Instagram bio, and Ms. Erskine will be in touch to schedule a visit!
