Welcome Back to School and to Grade 5!  Another school year is upon us and we will learn so many new and exciting things this year.  Can you believe that this is your last year of Elementary School?!  Wow!  I have had the opportunity to teach many of you when you were in Kindergarten and now I'm excited to teach you in your final year at Saint Andrew's.  Here are a few things happening on the first day of school: *  In the morning, between 8:00-8:15, students will gather outside on the playground until they are called by their teacher.  Class lists will be posted on the wall outside.  If it is raining, students in grade 3-5 will gather in the gym and students in grades 1-2 will gather in the cafeteria.  Kindergarten students will go directly to their classroom.   *  The school cafeteria will be open for some delicious meals.  Our outdoor play is from 11:30-12:00 and our lunch hour is from 12:00-12:30 (grades 4 &5).  Please be aware that our school is peanut aware and we are asking that students not bring peanut butter or nuts of any kind to school as we have a couple of students will severe peanut/nut allergies.  Thank you for your cooperation!
