Dear Families, Friends, and Loyal Donors,

Spring is finally here! I'm celebrating the flowering buds on campus and the safe return of our students and faculty after March Break.

Before the end-of-the-school year sprint begins, I want to take a moment to thank our donor community for making so many incredible things possible this winter. Below are some photo highlights of happenings on and off campus.

Your support enriches our students' experiences and gives them the confidence to step outside of their comfort zone and try something new. Over the past three months, I have seen students try many "firsts": picking up a squash racket; joining the school musical; giving a Chapin Talk alone at Morning Meeting; and signing up for a hackathon challenge, to name a few.

These breakthrough moments are a testament to the nurturing and inclusive community that is St. Andrew's.

As always, thank you for your continued investment in the school. I hope to see you on campus soon. Enjoy the spring!

With gratitude,

Kerrie Donahue

Director of Development

Parent of Megan '20
