Most of all, thank you to our incredible teachers and staff. Your dedication, passion, and hard work inspire us every day. We appreciate everything you do for our students and our school community—this week and every week!

Teacher/Staff Appreciation Week rolls on with a SNACK CART ON THE MOVE packed with MINION-APPROVED TREATS, and sweet notes from the families, written on bananas in the cafeteria! Because our Andrews educators are truly *one in a minion!* 🤩🛒🍌🥳

A heartfelt thank you to our amazing “minion” volunteers who delivered smiles and snacks to every classroom, and to the wonderful parents who covered yard and lunch duty so our staff could enjoy a well-deserved extended break. 💖

Teacher Appreciation Week continues with Wickedly Awesome Wednesday! Theme: “Teachers Are Magical” 🪄

Thanks to our enchanting crew of volunteers who brewed up the Magic Potions Coffee & Tea Bar and covered recess and lunch duties—giving our teachers a magical midday break! ✨

TACO 'BOUT A GREAT TEACHER TUESDAY. Theme: “Everything About Our Teachers is Awesome!”
