Camp Maria Retreat Reminders
Our K-8th grade school retreat to Camp Maria will be tomorrow, Wednesday, October 19th. ALL students should pack a brown bag lunch labeled with their name. (There will be NO hot lunch served on Wednesday.) Students should wear their PE uniforms. Please have your child dress in layers and bring a jacket. We will be spending a lot of time outdoors and it is sometimes breezy near the water.
RaiseRight Gift Card Program
It’s that time of year, there is a chill in the air, fall sports are in full swing and the holiday season is upon us. Are you getting ready to start Christmas shopping or buying your fall wardrobe items for you and your family? RaiseRight gift cards are not just for gift giving, they are to use for your everyday purchases too! Going to Target, Starbucks or the grocery store?? Most of these everyday stores have e-cards so you can shop and earn rebates instantly! Any rebates earned over $50 get a 75%/25% split between you and FAW! Thus, you have the potential to receive rebates to go towards next school year's tuition!
Our RaiseRight Gift Card Coordinator will be placing a gift card order on October 21st. If you wish to order cards please email her at FAWscrip@gmail.com with your order and send a check into the school to the attention of Jessica Casto.
School Supply Box Totals

Articulation Screenings
Our articulation screenings have begun and will continue throughout the month of October. If you have any questions please contact Mrs. Cacko at cacko@fatherandrewwhite.org.
Destination Imagination
FAW Destination Imagination is starting now! Destination Imagination (DI) is a global, competitive, creativity competition for students in grades Kindergarten - college! Father Andrew White has had a strong DI presence over the past 10 years, placing teams at the State competition for the past 8 years, with many teams advancing to Globals over the years. This year, we already have a 2nd grade exhibition team, and 3rd/4th grade, 5th grade, 6th grade, and 7th grade teams! If you are interested in getting a group of students together and heading up a team, please contact Mrs. Cacko. The season starts now with competitions in late February/early March. Rehearsal schedules are set by the team manager and teammates. For more information email: Mrs. Cacko at cacko@fatherandrewwhite.org or check out the website: destinationimagination.org.
Calling Any and All Theater Buffs!
Mrs. Cacko and Mrs. Hinkle are entertaining the idea of putting together a spring musical for 2023. However, it takes many hands to put together a production at the Middle School level. If you have any talents whatsoever (we know you do!), please consider joining our drama(tic) team! Email us at drama@fatherandrewwhite.org if you might be interested in helping us out in any way. No applicant will be turned away!
We won't get started until the new year. However, some preliminary planning meetings may be needed to get the program started after our 3 year hiatus!
Thank you for your consideration!
FAW Box of Joy Program
There have been several confirmed cases of Influenza A at school in the past two weeks, as well as a couple of cases of COVID-19 since the beginning of the school year. The Health Department has also advised that there are cases of Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease in the community. COVID guidelines currently still include five days of isolation for positive individuals. If you receive confirmation that your child has a communicable disease, please inform the school, and follow the appropriate treatments as recommended.
Book Fair Volunteers Wanted
It's almost time for our Book Fair and we are excited that the Book Fair will be set up in our library again this year. The Book Fair will be held from October 27th - November 4th. We are looking for volunteers to help each day. This is a great way to earn volunteer hours and to be able to see the great selection of Scholastic books that will be available to our students and families. If you are able to help or have any questions, please contact Mrs. Hinkle at hinkle@fatherandrewwhite.org.
