Home Skills Home Ec Class Shares with The Humane Society of SW Michigan
The Humane Society of SW Michigan recently sent a big Thank You to Andrews Academy. They thanked Mrs. Sanchez's Home Skills Home Ec class for the 18 blankets and 23 squeaky toys made for their shelter pets. Their shelter babies will enjoy them!
In the spirit of the school’s mission, “To think deeply, live fully, serve unselfishly and honor God completely,” Mrs. Sanchez wanted her class to do something to help our community. The class made numerous items for the Humane Society. Thank you, Mrs. Sanchez, for creating this service project as part of your class.

This is a reminder to bring in your food for the food drive! We are collecting until next Friday, December 9, so stop by the store, and bring in what you can! We want to give as much as possible. Last year we made 150 boxes of food. Our goal this year is to make 200 boxes. Let's make that happen together! Bring your food items to the wall in front of the gym. Let's give back to our community! Thank you.

Andrews Academy Christmas Concerts
|
 |
49th Annual Feast of Lights
Friday, December 9, 7:00 PM
Pioneer Memorial Church
Campus of Andrews University
Join us and be inspired by a program of music, Scripture readings and drama honoring the King of Kings. Feast of Lights—now in its 49th year—is the Christmas musical gift from Andrews Academy to the Berrien Springs community and beyond. It is an evening of instrumental music, bells, choral and congregational singing, lights, and a Nativity scene.
Experience with us the joyful retelling of the Christmas story, beginning with the humble incarnation of the long-expected Messiah and culminating with the Lord of Lords receiving "the kingdoms of this world" and our universal expression of praise: "Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth ... and He shall reign for ever and ever (Revelation 19:6, 11:15)."

Christmas Pops
Saturday, December 10, 7:00 PM
Howard Performing Arts Center
Campus of Andrews University
Everyone is welcome!
Both concerts will be live-streamed on our Facebook page.
Feast of Lights will also be live-streamed on the Andrews University website.

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 sent an email, put the announcement on our Facebook and Instagram pages, and alerted 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!

A solid-color, long sleeved undershirt may be worn under the AA short-sleeved polo (no writing should be visible on the undershirt).

The Fitness Center is typically open and available on Mondays from 3:30-4:30 PM. The challenge has been that no one has accepted the opportunity to work out. Please, take the time and opportunity now that it is cold to enjoy what is available to every student at AA by using the Fitness Center on Mondays. The link to sign up so we can prepare ahead of time is below, but it is not necessary.
-
The Women's Strength Club is still going strong, and I would really like to thank Mrs. Case for providing her expertise and experience in coaching and training the females of AA. This opportunity is still available for those that would like to join on Thursdays from 3:30-4:30 PM in the Fitness Center. Again, you can sign up on the form below, or just show up ready to receive coaching from a certified Personal Trainer.
