Dear Alumni Community,
As summer comes to an end, I hope each of you has had time to relax, refresh and enjoy time with family and friends.
Here on the Postoak Campus we've been busy creating an exciting Fall program ahead for our Alumni Community. As you may have seen, we're unveiling an Athletic Hall of Fame, presenting our first ever Alumni Awards and hosting a BBQ on the Quad for all to attend, just to name a few.

SAES TEACHERS, WHITMAN AND KELLEHER, RELEASE NEW BOOK ON BRAIN SCIENCE & EDUCATION
Glenn Whitman and Ian Kelleher, both St. Andrew's teachers, released their first book, "Neuroteach: Brain Science and the Future of Education." They share, "It is our hope, that Neuroteach will help ensure that one day, every student -regardless of zip code or school type-will learn and develop with the guidance of a teacher who knows the research behind how his or her brain works and learns".
Grant Lichtman (@GrantLichtman), author of "#EdJourney: A Roadmap to the Future of Education", shared, "To my knowledge there is no school in America, and no two educators more completely qualified and effective at translating the remarkable impacts of neuroscience down from the 30,000 foot level to 'what can we do in class tomorrow.'"
Get an inside look into their work during the Design Thinking Workshop at Homecoming & Reunion. Sign up to reserve your spot for this fascinating look into Brain Science and how it's used at
St. Andrew's.
