St. Andrew's Episcopal School is thrilled to launch our biggest fundraiser of the year! Cardinals on the Run!
At this event, all St. Andrew's students, Cottage through 8th Grade, will participate in an on-campus fun run to promote fitness, health, and wellness.
*The first step is for all families to register their students by going to mybooster.com. Every student that registers gets a prize!*
During registration you can upload a photo of your child to easily create a FUN video to share with friends & family!
Our goal is to raise $30,000 during the next 4 weeks to support the mission and goals of St. Andrew's, and a portion will be directed specifically to our Athletic Department.
You can join us for Cardinals on the Run on Wednesday, March 15, 2023 to cheer on your students! Thank you, donors! Go Cardinals!

As we continue our celebration of Black History Month, we were thrilled to have the music and dance team, Envision the Streets, join us on campus. The artists took us on a cultural journey celebrating & showcasing different street scenes through the arts & sounds of live music, street dance, step-dancing, hip-hop, & New Orleans jazz inspired by African American culture. Our students were able to practice some dance moves, and many students performed with the band.
