They could have (square) danced all night

St. Andrew’s welcomed students and parents back to campus for a beautiful and busy day. Old friends shared stories of summer while seniors gave newcomers a taste of St. Andrean hospitality, guiding and helping them move into their dorms. After a morning of bustling arrivals, greetings and introductions, Headmaster Roach spoke to parents about the culture of the School and introduced the faculty. Once the parents had departed, new students spent some quality time touring the campus with their ‘big brother and sister’ seniors before gathering for meetings with fellow dorm dwellers.

A cook out dinner was followed by an evening Square Dance outside the gymnasium. Students donned bandanas and cowboy hats for this longstanding St. Andrew’s tradition, kicking off the school year with a burst of boot-stomping energy. The band kept the dancers on their toes, and students were still do-si-doing and promenading after the sun went down.
