Andrews Academy Today

GIVING VALENTINE CARDS THIS SABBATH:As many of you are aware most class vespers meeting tonight will include a time to make a Valentine card for a retired person in our community. We would like to invite those who are interested to meet at Timber Ridge Retirement Center located behind the Korean SDA church. Please meet Pastor Glassford & Mr. Atkins at the lobby of the Center at 3 pm Sabbath afternoon to deliver these cards to the residents there. Depending on how many volunteers arrive this activity should take close to 30 min. Thank you in advance for making a difference in our community.~ S. Atkins

JUNIOR CLASS VESPERS:  Juniors will be having class vespers here at AA, Friday evening from 4-6pm.  There will be refreshments for your gustatory pleasures.  Come, relax, hang out, and kick off the weekend at your favorite place on earth, Andrews Academy.  We hope to see literally, EVERYONE there.

FRESHMEN VESPERS:The Freshmen are having their vespers at the Academy at 6-7:00pm. We will have snacks, Bible games, worship, & write Valentine letters to the elderly folks in the community. This will be a time for the kids to do something nice for the community & have some social time to bring in the Sabbath.~Reichert

SENIOR CLASS VESPERS:  Our senior class vespers will be this Friday at Amante Gonzalez's home starting at 5:30 pm with supper. This will be followed by a short devotional thought and then a time to make Valentine Cards to give to residents in a nearby nursing home. Please start planning now for this evening of supper and service together. ~ Amante/Mr Atkins

CHICAGO AUTO SHOW: Remember that the Chicago Auto Show trip is next Tuesday. See Mr Anderson to get a permission form. Money and permission forms are due by 10:15 Friday morning. Seating is on a first come, first serve basis.~Mr. Anderson

SILHOUETTE & STRINGS TOUR:This year's Choir Tour (February 23-26) is going to be done by The Silhouettes and the String Orchestra. The Chorale is working on a big Easter work ("Seven Last Words of Christ"), with orchestra accompaniment and a crucifixion play, that is going to be presented on April 6 (AU Passion Weekend), 7:00 PM at the HPAC. For this reason Chorale won't be able to tour. The tentative schedule for this tour is available at the school. Student's fee for this tour will be announced soon, as I'm still working with the budget. Thank you!
