2024 All-Class Reunion

We hope you can join us for an evening of nostalgia and good fun. All classes from our beloved Saint Andrews School are invited to gather at the River Park Moose Lodge on Friday, September 20, 2024, to catch up with old friends, make some new friends, and support two scholarship funds we hope to establish from the proceeds after that evening.

Here are the answers to your many questions:

What are the specifics? Date/Time/Place?

How much is the entrance fee?

What am I getting for my $50 or, if I am not an Early Bird, my $60?

Besides the fun of meeting up with old classmates, buying each other (or just yourself) a few cold ones at the famous River Park Moose Lodge, and parking in a very large parking lot where you do not have to pay $8.00 per hour, you will consume good pizza from a good, local joint, enjoy musical entertainment, and most importantly, you will have assisted with continuing the success of the following two scholarship funds from the Saint Andrews Alumni, our special way of giving back to mentors who gave of themselves to us: After the 2022 Reunion, we presented the Principal with $5,500 for the commencement of these scholarships!

1. A sports scholarship honoring Coach Al Prislinger; and
2. An academic scholarship honoring “The Former Pastors, Nuns and Lay Teachers” of Saint Andrew School to assist students who might not otherwise have had the opportunity to experience what we all had.

I didn’t get to finish as a Bulldog because my parents moved us to Gurnee. Am I out of luck?

Once a Saint Andrews Bulldog, always a Saint Andrews Bulldog. Whether you only attended First through Fifth Grades, went to Hamilton or Blaine but attended CCD classes, or transferred in when the fun began in the annex – you are welcome to come!

How will the “greeters” at the door of the Moose Lodge know I have paid?

We’ve got that under control; you just need to provide us with good email and address information on our website and pay the cheap fee, and you’ll be on our list!

Sorry if I missed this but can I get a beer there if I want a cold beer?

Yes, there is a cash bar inside the hall we have put in place and we have hired two very capable bartenders. The bar is not included in your ticket price, but the prices are very reasonable!

Do you want us to take group and candid photos at the reunion?

Please do so, and we will have one of our Facebook gurus set up a Scrapbook to load all photos into after the event. We suspect you will also hear about a hashtag link shortly!

I have my Class Pictures, my Autograph Book, my Class Ribbon, lots of photos from games and graduation parties and other memorabilia. Is it okay if I bring these items to the Reunion?

Sure, why not. Feel free to bring whatever you would like. But remember, whatever you bring in is your own responsibility, and you are in charge of making sure you walk out with it!  Our Committee thinks that is a great idea; some think it can be a burden for guests. We all agree: Go for it if that makes you happy and will make your night even better!        

I heard some classes are getting together the night before, such as in “pre-gaming!”  Is this Committee also running those events?

Yeah, No, we definitely are not. We may attend those if our classes are involved, but that’s about it.

Can I bring my spouse or significant other?

Absolutely! Our only caveat about “guests” is that no minors are allowed.

Did I hear right? There is also a Saint Andrew’s Alumni website on the school’s website?

Visit gosaintandrew.com, click on the Alumni tab on the top of the page, and VOILA!  Look yourself up, and if you are not there, you will be if you give us permission to add you once all of the Registration Forms are updated!

Suppose I want to donate more to this great idea of establishing Scholarships in honor of Coach Prislinger, Msgr. Quinn, Sister Marie Richards, Mrs Weclew, etc., will you keep us posted?

You betcha!

Stay tuned for more exciting news. In the meantime, find your classmates, teachers, etc., and mark your calendars.
