Father Goerge
Toma
Welcome to the
2013/14 School Year!
We are excited to launch another
school year at St. Andrews Church.
Registration forms are available in the
Education Office now. Regular classes
to begin on August 23rd, Friday classes
are from 7:00 9:00 in the evening.
Parents should plan on picking up their
children from classrooms at 9:00.
Youth classes are divided into two
groups. We have a high school youth
group and a college youth group. They
meet from 8:00 9:00 in the evening on
Fridays. We also have a new Youth
President, George Solayman. Sunday
classes are from 9:00 10:30 in the
morning. Following Sunday morning
class, students will be led up to the
mass for the sermon and communion.
After communion, students are brought
downstairs for breakfast. You can meet
your child down in the cafeteria for
pick up. A special prayer service to
start off the school year will occur on
September 6th. Please be prompt, as
the service will begin at 7:00 in the evening. Father George Toma will be
blessing the children as they begin the
new school year and talking about his
expectations for their role as students
in St. Andrews Church School.
We have a new character education program that will be implemented this year. Character education
is part of the public school system and
your child should be familiar with the
concepts. Each month, we will be focusing on a new Christian Character
Trait (kindness, forgiveness, etc.). All
students in the Friday class will attend
an all school assembly on the FIRST
FRIDAY of the month. We will be discussing the Focus of the Month and
have a drawing for rewards. As students demonstrate behaviors that we
want to promote, they will get a ticket
called a blessing and be praised for
their good behavior. They can take
that ticket and put their name on it for a
reward. Rewards can be redeemed in
two ways. Students can put their ticket
into the monthly drawing at the FIRST
FRIDAY assembly for a prize opportunity OR they can save their ticket and
Our primary objective is to
use it to buy rewards that will be availraise all of our children in the love of
God and bring them closer to the house able on the SECOND SUNDAY at the St.

Andrew School Store. Please remember to ask your child each week if they
received any blessings in class. It is
important for families to reinforce good
behaviors even when they are away
from home. Thank you, in advance, for
your support!
Teachers will be nominating
Students of the Month. Those students will be nominated based on some
of the behavior goals we want to see for
all students: prompt, reliable in attendance, hard worker, respectful, helpful
to others, responsible with homework
requirements, etc. If your child is
nominated by his/her teacher as
Student of the Month, he/she will be
invited to a special monthly breakfast
with Father George Toma and the deacons of the church. Parents will not be
seated at the table with their children
for this event. This will be an opportunity for your child to speak with Father
and the deacons. An important part of
Christian Education is the fostering of
respect and affection for the church
leaders. Children that feel close to the
church leaders are more likely to remain close to the church as they grow
toward adulthood. If your child is
nominated, talk to him/her about questions they may want to ask or topics
they may want to learn more about
when they are with the church leaders.
If you have any questions or
concerns, please feel free to contact us
at the Education Office. We are in
room 5B. Nirona Shinoo is the Friday
Facilitator. Youberd Bahram is the Sunday Facilitator. Jennifer Younan is the
Education Liaison.
