Dear Families, Friends, and Loyal Donors,

I hope you are soaking up the warm weather and taking advantage of the longer days! Summer camps have begun here on campus. I love hearing the joyful sounds of the campers playing, laughing, and having fun — a welcome summer soundtrack while our students are away until the fall.

As our fiscal year comes to a close tomorrow, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to you and our donor community for your extraordinary support this school year. Your generosity has allowed our students to climb great heights, make lifelong memories, and stretch themselves academically, athletically, artistically, and socially.

I can't thank you enough for believing in St. Andrew's and opening up so many opportunities for our students.

Below are some photo highlights from the spring for you to enjoy. Countless incredible things happened on and off campus over the past three months, so this is only a small snapshot of the amazing things our students, faculty and staff, and community shared.

I invite you to stay connected with St. Andrew's happenings by following us on Facebook and Instagram. Please don't be shy in sharing your good news and summer adventures with us by tagging us @standrewsri or sending us an email.

I look forward to seeing you on campus soon. Until then, grab a Del's and enjoy the summer!

With gratitude,

Kerrie Donahue
