We are excited to announce that two of our Destination Imagination (DI) teams from Father Andrew White School are two of the top-scoring DI teams in the state of Maryland and now have the opportunity to present their Challenge solution at the DI Global Finals in Kansas City, Missouri —an international competition where they will compete against teams from around the globe.
Please consider donating to help these teams get to the Globals competition!! Destination Imagination is an educational, academic program that has helped our students learn and practice valuable skills like creative and critical thinking, problem-solving, and teamwork through different competitive, STEAM-based (science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics) Challenges.
The teams are working hard to raise the $5,500/team registration fee plus the almost $1,000/student it will take to get them there to experience this amazing opportunity! Raising $20K in only one month’s time is daunting, but they are DItermined!!! Every gift is a blessing and we truly appreciate your support! Thank you so much for your contributions.
The Band, Chorus and 3rd Grade Recorder Concert is this Thursday!
Our Band/Chorus concert is this Thursday, May 9th at 6:30pm in the FAW gym. Band and Chorus members should report to the school by 6:00pm in black bottoms/white top concert attire.
Third graders will have their recorder debut during the concert on the FAW Stage. Mrs. Cacko will have music ready for the students. Third graders just need to arrive, wearing their Sunday best, to the FAW gym (where they will sit with their class) no later than 6:20pm. We can't wait for the 3rd graders to show off their recorder skills!
Progress Reports
Reports for grades 4-8 will be posted to the portal tomorrow, Wednesday, May 8th. We ask you to please keep in mind that we still have new lessons to teach and work to accomplish. We hope you will support us in encouraging the children to keep studying and to continue to make their school work a priority.
Return Library Books
It's time to start looking for all Father Andrew White School library books so they can be returned by the end of the school year. Sometimes our school library books get mixed in with your home library ones, so be sure to check all around your house. Thank you for helping your children find these books!
Come on out for an afternoon of fun and cheer on your FAW Crusaders as they race around the track at St. Mary's Ryken next Saturday, May 18th from 12 - 4pm. We will be competing against the other local Catholic schools. See you there! Go Crusaders!
