Student Association Food Drive
We are thankful for the generosity of students and families as they participated in the Student Association led food drive. On Wednesday of exam week (in December), a group of student volunteers packed 200 Christmas meal packages for needy residents of an apartment building in our county that Pastor White is ministering to. Pastor White’s church added the protein item for each food box, and then they were packed up and delivered. These food items provided a Christmas meal for a families in need, and enough ingredients for a number of other meals to follow. A few AA students joined Pastor White’s church as they delivered the Christmas meals.
Again, thank you all for your generosity during this past Christmas season of giving. Matthew 25:40 says:
“The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’"

AA Uniforms Available from Lands' End
We have renewed our relationship with Lands’ End for uniform needs. More selections for uniforms are now included, such as a button-down shirt, a long-sleeved polo, and a sweater. Click on the option(s) that you would like, then choose the size (kid or adult). Please be mindful that Andrews Academy is not responsible for your orders.
We have added a squall jacket (please contact us to order a jacket for males, and we will reach out to the vendor for options) to the uniform store. The AA logo must be added ($5.95), and the jacket can be worn in class/school. To add a proper name and/or class year, please call 800-469-2222.

Please review the Sourcebook (pgs 79-81) for more information regarding uniforms. Only approved logoed uniform wear is allowed. A solid-color, long sleeved undershirt may be worn under the AA short-sleeved polo (no writing should be visible on the undershirt). If a student is wearing a fleece/squall jacket, they should also have an AA logoed shirt underneath.

If you need PE uniform items, please come to the main office.

Opting into Texting for One Call Now
Andrews Academy utilizes One Call Now, an automated messaging service, to contact students and parents about school cancellations, upcoming events, and performances, etc.
|
|
|
|
Please make sure that we have the phone number that you would like to have contacted. We also send an email, put the announcement on our Facebook and Instagram pages, and alert local TV stations (WSBT, WNDU, ABC57).
To receive a text notification instead of a call (text works best), please text “ALERT” to 22300. Please make sure that you have given us the number that you would like to be texted on as well. Email ginam@andrews.edu with any changes. Thank you!

Chapels this Week
Andrews Academy started off the new semester, and the new year, on a worshipful note through our daily chapels. We invited speakers— Chaplain José Bourget, Mrs. Heidi Murphy, and Principal Ferguson—to speak this week on stirring topics to help us focus and motivate us going into the latter half of our school year. On Wednesday, Pastor Lindsey Pratt divided students to have prayer for each other. We encourage students to continue this prayerful spirit as we progress through the semester!
