St. Andrew's Parents' Association
	Dear St. Andrew's Parents,  The St. Andrew's Parents’ Association (SAPA) was founded on the belief that home and school are the twin supports in a child's development. SAPA's goal is to promote cooperation and unity of spirit among our parents, students, and faculty.  All parents become members of SAPA when they enroll a child at St. Andrew's. There are no dues, and your level of involvement is up to you. Classroom activities, fundraising events and leadership opportunities abound for the SAPA volunteer, along with some volunteer perks—invaluable insight to your child's experiences and new friendships with St. Andrew's families.   SAPA's 2010-2011 fundraising efforts netted around $130,000, allowing us to generously support the school this year. These dollars enhance the St. Andrew's education beyond what tuition can provide and will be used to fund physical improvements and projects which focus on relationships within our St. Andrew's community.  Approximately $110,000 has been designated for 2011-2012 enhancements within the 3 divisions: Lower School:  Technology Additions Parent Coffees & Educational Programs  Class Field Trips/Cultural Events Principal’s Fund Grade Level Lunches Middle School:  Clicker Technology New Parent/Student Orientation Events Performing Arts Room Mirrors Lobby Furniture and Refurbishing Graduation Mosaic Chemical Dependency Speaker Parent Dinners/Coffees & Education MS Lego Robotics Competition Principal Fund Field Trips and Special Events Upper School:  College Fair  Cum Laude Events Principal’s Fund  Harkness Table Literary Speaker Assembly Programs Campus Beautification   Parent Coffees/Lunches  So, how can you get involved? Simply contact any of the SAPA leadership listed in the link below, and we will be happy to help you find an appropriate place to plug into our efforts.  I encourage you to join us this year as we partner with the school in making St. Andrew's the best it can be for our children!
