Dear St. Andrew’s Community,
2024–2025 BOARD OF TRUSTEES
I hope you are savoring the fall season as we quickly approach the holidays! I love this time of year. Our students are in a rhythm with their academics and extracurriculars, campus is beautiful, and our community is connecting with loved ones over Thanksgiving Break. I am thankful.

Van Liew Alfred Verrecchia RoseMarie Wallace Margot F. Wolf
During this season of gratitude, I enjoy having time to reflect. Last year was my 10th year as St. Andrew’s Head of School. Throughout the past decade in this extraordinary community, I have seen countless moments of transformation, big and small. Students discovering their love of a new subject, students performing on stage for the first time, students playing a sport they’ve never tried before, students making friends with someone new. These moments may not seem special, but they are. These moments lead to self-confidence, self-advocacy, and self-acceptance. St. Andrew’s future is bright. Over the course of last school year, we focused on developing a new multi-year Strategic Plan that was adopted last summer. Our overarching goal is to serve more students in more ways and in more places. We have big plans and we have already started to design and implement the many facets of this plan. Please read more on pages 16-17. Alumnus and St. Andrew’s Vice President of the Board of Trustees Ben White ’08 was our Commencement Speaker for the Class of 2025. I loved his speech and seeing him connect with our graduates, knowing that only 17 years before, he was sitting in their place. This was a powerful moment, connecting our past with our present and looking ahead to the future. I keep playing back what Ben said to our graduates, words that resound deeply with our school’s mission and purpose:
“ That’s what makes the St. Andrew’s experience so unique. It’s not about creating perfect students; it’s about creating whole people,

that matter.” —BEN WHITE ’08 St. Andrew’s empowers students to discover their unique value and embrace their full potential. We are living our mission each and every day, sharing a purpose to educate students and support them to become the best versions of themselves so they can make the world a better place. As I enter a new decade at St. Andrew’s, I am filled with immense pride and excitement to continue helping our Saints shine and our school thrive. Please read on for a sampling of accomplishments, traditions, and celebrations from last school year, highlighting the tremendous impact of our donor and volunteer community. We’re grateful for your loyal support and to have you as part of our community. Wishing you and yours a safe and joyful holiday season! Warmly,

The Hoskins Family “Having moved our kids through many schools, we’ve seen a lot of educational environments. And St. Andrew’s School is one-of-a-kind. Over the past seven years, it has truly shaped our children in ways we haven’t seen anywhere else.
“It’s about securing a vibrant, long-lasting future for St. Andrew’s School, so its magic can continue for generations to come.”
That’s why we’re so passionate about contributing both our time and our resources here. The above-and-beyond support our kids have received from so many of the teachers and staff has been nothing short of remarkable. As parents, we’ve found immense value in the guidance and genuine connections we’ve forged within the community. We want to help ensure that every single student who walks through these doors can experience that same unique blend of care, unwavering support, and strong sense of belonging. It’s about securing a vibrant, long-lasting future for St. Andrew’s School, so its magic can continue for generations to come.” The Hoskins family calls Barrington home. Their son, Tommy ’23, found a second home at St. Andrew’s as a boarding student during his junior and senior years and is now thriving at Northeastern University. Their daughter, Ellie ’25, a seven-year day student, just joined him there this fall. Sheryl, a software executive, brings her expertise in business transformation and growth to her professional work and gives back as a foster child mentor with Foster Forward and a volunteer at McAuley Village Childcare Center. Tom recently retired and is following his passion for cooking—pursuing a degree in Culinary Arts at Johnson & Wales—while still finding time to play squash on the St. Andrew’s courts.

Recognizing the Board of Trustees In partnership with the head of school, the St. Andrew’s Board of Trustees provides leadership and a framework within which the faculty and administration work to advance the mission of the school.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE At the close of the 2024-2025 school year, Sara Shea McConnell, Alfred Van Liew, and Margot Wolf stepped down from the Board of Trustees after many years of service to the school.
Sara Shea McConnell
Alfred B. Van Liew
Margot F. Wolf
Sara termed off of the Board after ten years of dedicated service and commitment to St. Andrew’s. She joined the Board after her son, John McConnell ’15, graduated from the school and has brought significant expertise and leadership having also served on the Boards at Gordon School and Sophia Academy. She served as the Chair of the Governance Committee and a member of the Executive Committee. Her work in Governance thoughtfully grew and strengthened the leadership of the Board. Sara’s strategic vision, steady guidance, and deep commitment to the school have shaped a board culture rooted in integrity, collaboration, and purpose.
Fred’s service to St. Andrew’s has spanned more than three decades. He joined the Board in 1988, only a few years after his daughter, Elizabeth Bennett Van Liew ’84, one of the first girls to attend St. Andrew’s, graduated. During his tenure, including President from 2004 to 2007, Fred brought unwavering dedication, insight, and vision. As a member of the Finance Committee, he helped guide the school through times of growth and challenge with steadiness and purpose. Fred was a driving force behind the squash program, both as a lead donor and passionate advocate. Thanks to his commitment, this program is thriving. Fred’s leadership has helped shape not only the campus we see today but the community we cherish. We are grateful for his extraordinary service, generosity, and enduring support for St. Andrew’s.
Margot began as a member of the Board in 1998—an incredible 27 years of commitment. As a dedicated member of the Facilities Committee, Margot helped guide the development and stewardship of our campus with vision and care. Because of her generosity, we have two signature spaces on campus that stand as a testament to her family’s deep and enduring connection to this institution. The Robert L. Wolf Squash Center, named in June 2022, honors her late husband— himself a trustee from 1979 to 1991, and our beloved Margot’s House dorm honors her service. Margot is also a proud grandparent of two St. Andrew’s alums, Alex Keightley ’12 and Colin Keightley ’21. Margot’s leadership, generosity, and heart have shaped this institution in immeasurable ways and we are forever grateful.

OUR COMMUNITY
Honoring Audrey Berry and Laurie White Beloved faculty members Audrey Berry and Laurie White retired last year after each serving St. Andrew’s for more than three decades. These remarkable women and educators have transformed the lives of countless students and made a lasting impact on our school.
AUDREY BERRY
Audrey began working at St. Andrew’s in 1990 and served six years as a dorm parent alongside her husband Jack. They raised their three sons on campus until moving off campus in 2010. In 1994, she was hired full-time as the Humanities Department Chair and English teacher. Throughout her 35-year career at St. Andrew’s, Audrey served many roles aside from being a Department Chair, IB and Syracuse University Project Advance English teacher, dorm parent, and advisor. “Audrey exemplifies warmth and compassion in all she does, showing up for the people around her in ways you don’t often find.”
From 2002-2020, she implemented the service program at St. Andrew’s. As the National Honor Society faculty advisor, students became enthusiastic champions of various local and global service projects that were actualized with the community’s support. Audrey established and was the faculty advisor for the school’s literary and arts magazine for 30 years, helping to cultivate and publish our students’ writing and visual arts talents.
LAURIE WHITE “Laurie is loved and appreciated by many students and alumni who recognize all that she gave them: tough love, compassion, understanding, essential skills, and much more.”
Laurie began her career at St. Andrew’s in the winter of 1991. Over her 34 years at the school, she was a passionate teacher and advisor in the Learning Support Department, known for being the first to arrive each day. Whether leading Homework Club, staying late to help students, being a class advisor, or offering a listening ear, Laurie consistently gave her time and energy without seeking recognition but always making a meaningful impact. She was a tireless advocate for her students and a strong supporter of her colleagues, never afraid to ask the hard questions. Laurie served faithfully on the school’s Emergency Response Team and the Faculty Council Committee, keeping the well-being of students, faculty, and the broader school community at the forefront of her work.
Audrey served on many committees, including the Academic Leadership Team and the Strategic Planning Committee. She cochaired the brain-based learning committee with Dr. Dana Gurney and was a co-facilitator for All Kinds of Minds for public and private schools in New York City and Maryland. Audrey exemplifies warmth and compassion in all she does, showing up for the people around her in ways you don’t often find. Her ability to connect with students while maintaining high standards inspired students and colleagues. She consistently put the best interests of the student at the center of her decisionmaking, always striving to foster their growth and success. Audrey takes small moments and turns them into something extraordinary. She inspired students to read for fun, participate in poetry slams, and embrace and love their full self—and she led her colleagues with grace, sage wisdom, and compassion. Audrey won the 2025 Gladys Trudeau Fischer Award, an award given annually to a faculty member who has, during the current school year, provided exemplary service to the student body. This prestigious honor, as voted on by colleagues, was a fitting way to acknowledge Audrey’s lasting legacy of kindness and excellence.
Laurie was deeply committed to making learning accessible for all students at St. Andrew’s. She developed numerous innovative courses, including literacy classes, transition programs, inclusive of the Senior Transition Seminar, and focus classes across grade levels—each designed to build essential study skills, independence, self-reliance, and problem-solving abilities. As an advisor, Laurie made it her mission to truly know her students. She closely monitored their progress, tirelessly advocated on their behalf, and ensured that no student ever slipped through the cracks. Laurie didn’t simply prepare students for the classroom—she equipped them with the tools to thrive well beyond it. Laurie is loved and appreciated by many students and alumni who recognize all that she gave them: tough love, compassion, understanding, essential skills, and much more. When challenges arose, she broke down the issue, offered multiple solutions, thoughtfully weighed options alongside her colleagues, and always considered the students’ perspectives. Laurie brought a rare and meaningful balance of accountability and compassion, ensuring every student felt seen, supported, and empowered. Laurie’s impact on the St. Andrew’s community is lasting and she is remembered for her commitment, advocacy, and heart. She is in the hearts of those who worked with her and in the lives of the students she guided and helped launch into the world of adulthood. ST. ANDREW’S SCHOOL REPORT OF GIVING 2024–2025 | 5

SPOTLIGHT:
Recommitment to Service Giving back has been central to St. Andrew’s mission since the school’s inception in 1893 by Father Chapin. Engaging in service is a core value, encouraging our students to engage in projects that address local, national, and global needs. Last year we recommitted to service by strengthening local community partnerships to provide our students with year-round service opportunities off campus. Students volunteered on weekends at the Barrington Farm School to help with essential farming and gardening projects and at Church of the Master in Providence to serve meals at their food pantry. Members of the National Honor Society volunteered with the Jewish Alliance of Greater RI to prepare meals for Crossroads Rhode Island, while National Art Honor Society members connected with residents at Atria Bay Spring Village through collaborative arts projects.

“We will all head in different directions soon. To different places, towards different goals, to pursue different dreams. But, the best part is that we all came down this same road, along this same path, leaving our marks. And though we are leaving now, we will all be here forever.”
“As you step into this next chapter, carry with you this charge—continue to uncover the unique value only you can offer, and never stop reaching toward your full potential. Let the light of this community guide you, and wherever life takes you, be a source of light for others by creating new communities of your own.”
“You can’t appreciate yourself and your life fully without appreciating what got you here. There’s so much beauty and growth in the struggle that we don’t realize it in the moment. The best teacher in your life is your own experience, not anyone else’s. Congratulations, Class of 2025, fail boldly and live fully.”

Samantha Medeiros Director of Middle School
Samantha Medeiros joined St. Andrew’s faculty in 2014. She taught dance before transitioning to teaching history in both Middle and Upper School, and she was appointed as the Director of Middle School in 2024. Samantha’s positivity, care, and infectious enthusiasm has inspired a wonderful new energy into the Middle School program and Hardy Hall.
Celebrating Growth in Our Middle School “Our focus on core values of respect, courage, honesty, and accountability helped to create an environment where our students felt safe to take risks, build relationships, and lead with integrity. They were curious, active learners who met challenges with thoughtfulness and creativity. And of course, we had fun! From socials and school trips to our showcase night and spirit events, students were engaged, connected, and celebrated. It has been a joy watching each student grow—not just academically, but as a person.”

How We Are Making the Most of the Middle: MIDDLE SCHOOL PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS 2024-2025
Our small, structured, and supportive Middle School program empowers curious learners, fosters active learning, encourages brave choices, and nurtures personal growth. Here are a few highlights that show the mindful growth of our Middle School.
Expanding Knowledge and Embracing Curiosity
Leadership in Grade 8
Pursuing Passions We introduced Middle School Clubs last year, expanding opportunities for our middle schoolers to explore their passions, try new things, and connect with their peers and teachers in a different way. Clubs included: • Chess Club • Fantasy Football Club • Student Council/Leadership Club
Middle schoolers focus on process and personal growth in their academics, participating in hands-on, project-based, and experiential learning. They took a variety of field trips to apply their learning in realworld settings, including: >Exploring three days of nature and adventure at Hulbert Outdoor Center >Seeing a performance of Trinity Repertory Company’s production of A Christmas Carol at PPAC >Touring the Rhode Island State House and participating in a mock session >Enjoying Mexican food at local restaurant Nacho Mamma’s while practicing using food-related vocabulary for Spanish class
>Passion Project Inspired by Lester Murad's book Ida In The Middle, eighthgrade students explored their personal interests and connected their passions to the life lessons they have learned. Each student delivered a 2-3 minute “TED Talk” style presentation, sharing their insights with our school community. >Science Debate Students reviewed different parts of the science of climate change, including the Carbon Cycle and the Greenhouse Effect, as well as the causes and effects of climate change. The students discussed their solutions in a culminating debate about their statement of inquiry: “What is/are the most effective ways to reduce climate change?”
Sparking Social Connection Middle School connected at many social outings last year, including bowling at East Providence lanes, going to Fun City Trampoline Park, playing games at Dave & Buster’s, having lunch at Colt State Park, and attending dances with seven other Rhode Island independent schools.
• Yearbook Club • STEM Club • Board Game Club • Do The Right Thing Club • Bible Study Club • STEM Club • National Junior Art Honor Society
National Junior Art Honor Society (NJAHS) St. Andrew’s now offers a junior version of our National Art Honor Society chapter. NJAHS recognizes middle school students for their talent and dedication in visual arts, encouraging artistic growth, community involvement, and leadership. Membership is based on artistic achievement, academic standing, and positive character. Members participate in art activities, projects, and service opportunities to further develop their skills and connect with other young artists. Last year, they created and installed a beautiful subway tile mural inside Hardy Hall.
>Design Exhibition Students addressed the UN Sustainable Development Goal #12 and regenerative agriculture, connecting with the Barrington Farm School. The students showcased their innovative design prototypes for members of our community in an interactive exhibition.

DaCosta Family “St. Andrew’s has truly been a transformative place for our family. When our daughter joined last year, we all started a journey with uncertainty and self-doubt. From day one, the supportive and nurturing environment at St. Andrew’s helped Jessica grow into a confident, curious, and joyful learner. The teachers and staff don’t just educate her—they believe in her. Watching her thrive has been one of our greatest gifts. We’re proud to give our time and resources to St. Andrew’s because we have seen firsthand the power of our Saints community. Supporting the school means investing in a place where children are truly empowered!” The DaCosta Family resides in Bristol. Elizabeth is a Mathematics Professor at the Community College of Rhode Island and an avid pickleball player whose energy carries from the classroom to the court. Carla serves the Town of Bristol as Deputy Town Clerk. She actively contributes her time as a St. Andrew’s Parent Grade Representative and Gala Committee Member, while also volunteering with the Bristol Elks and the Bristol Fourth of July Committee. Their daughter Jessica is in seventh grade. When not in school, she participates in Girl Scouts, piano lessons, gymnastics, dance, and the occasional junior triathlon! Their two energetic pups, Evie and Rhody, help keep their household full of mischief and joy. 22 | ST. ANDREW’S SCHOOL REPORT OF GIVING 2024–2025

THANK YOU FOR
THE GOOD COMPANY AND GENEROUS SUPPORT!
The Saints Gala: Around the World with Pam and Sue was truly a night of community and celebration. We were proud to celebrate Pam Farmer and Sue McGann and their extraordinary 75 years of combined service to St. Andrew’s. Surrounded by friends, family, and alumni, we reflected on their remarkable impact as mentors and pioneers of global travel programming.
In recognition of their leadership, we announced that our international travel program will now be named the Pam Farmer and Sue McGann International Travel Program. The evening culminated in a transformative moment: Pam Farmer shared her intention to make a $1 million gift to endow the program— ensuring generations of students will benefit from life-changing travel experiences. What an amazing legacy!
A SINCERE THANK YOU TO ALL OF OUR SPONSORS, UNDERWRITERS, SUPPORTERS, AND GUESTS FOR MAKING IT SO SPECIAL!

2024-2025 Experiential Learning Through Travel Programs 1 RENAISSANCE FLORENCE: December 2024
Created and developed by Sue McGann, Renaissance Florence “RenFlo” is an immersive honors art course that takes grade 12 students deep into the world of Renaissance Florence, uncovering the historical, social, and artistic forces that shaped this extraordinary era. The experience culminates in an unforgettable week in Florence, Italy, where students stand before masterpieces at the Uffizi, marvel at the Duomo, and engage with history firsthand. Last year was Sue McGann’s 20th and final trip as the course leader, with Amy Tinagero taking over this year. In addition to exploring the sights and sounds of Florence, the students made authentic Italian food dishes with renowned cook Judy Witts-Francini of Divina Cucina.
2 MÁLAGA SPANISH IMMERSION: March 2025
Students studied at Málaga Institute over March Break in a Spanish immersion program led by faculty chaperones Nadya Rivera and Jorge Escandon, immersing themselves fully in the Spanish language and culture. They embraced new experiences, practiced their Spanish, and got a taste of life in Spain, including authentic cuisine like a delicious paella at the school’s restaurant. Trip highlights included students touring Old Málaga, visiting Picasso’s home, exploring the breathtaking cathedral and the beauty of La Alcazaba, an incredible Moorish fortress that dates back to the 11th century that sits high above the city.
3 AMERICA’S NATIONAL PARKS: April 2025
Taught by faculty Annie Hughes and Charley Pelissier, America’s National Parks is an evening course offering an interdisciplinary exploration of the history, environmental science, Indigenous cultures, and preservation efforts within the U.S. National Park system, culminating in an immersive travel experience. Through case studies, scientific inquiry, and historical analysis, students gain a deeper appreciation of the parks’ ecological and cultural significance. Last spring, students explored Yosemite National Park, took in the vistas of the Tuolumne Meadows, hiked the Lower Yosemite Falls, saw the breathtaking giant sequoias, and ended with a visit to Monterey Bay and a tour of Alcatraz in San Francisco.

Remembering Jane Waters Jane Waters, a lifelong friend of the school and devoted wife of former St. Andrew’s Headmaster Stephen Waters, passed away peacefully on December 11, 2024. Jane and Steve lived on St. Andrew’s campus in the Rectory with their two children from 1970-1991 while Steve served as headmaster. Their family played an integral role in the community, opening St. Andrew’s doors to female students and sharing wonderful memories with the students, faculty, and staff. Jane was a gracious hostess and her kitchen parties and infamous chutney dip are still fondly remembered. Jane, a talented pianist and singer, made beautiful music with St. Andrew’s students. What started as an informal group

singing around a piano in Chapin Chapel grew into a choir and eventually musical productions. She recounted that her most special performance came at the end of her twenty-one year tenure at St. Andrew’s, when she was invited to sing with the RI Philharmonic for the Gala Celebration in 1991. In 2021, St. Andrew’s was so pleased to honor Jane’s service to the school at the Saints Gala alongside her friends Sheila Martin and Dotty McCulloch. Later that year, St. Andrew’s dedicated a bench near the newly constructed Robert L. Wolf Squash Center honoring both her and Steve and their commitment to the school. Besides her active musical career, Jane enjoyed sewing, knitting, wallpapering, gardening, antiques, traveling, entertaining, concerts, opera, and art museums. She was married to Steve for 54 years before his passing, and they were blessed with a son and daughter, John and Carrie, and three lovely grandchildren. Jane and Steve have left St. Andrew’s a legacy of love, warmth, and music, and they are deeply missed.

Tom Manson ’66 “Each year I send something to St. Andrew’s that I consider to be a family repayment. Family because that is what St. Andrew’s has been to me. I arrived at St. Andrew’s in 1957 a kid off the streets of Providence with next to nothing. Nine years later I graduated with an education that I would not realize until many years later, did more than prepare me for the world. It put me on a path to a successful and satisfying life far beyond anything I could have ever imagined. St. Andrew’s remains home to me as well as many of the other boys of the 50s-60s. We are a family because of St. Andrew’s. We gather each year to remember not only those that have passed on but, much like a Thanksgiving gathering, to step back and remember our time together, the faculty that aided us during our youth, and visit St. Andrew’s.” After graduating in 1966, Tom joined the United States Marine Corps and then attended Johns Hopkins University and UMBC. He worked for UPS for 35 years with special assignments all over the U.S. Tom retired in 2004 to begin his own company, Santos Graphics, which he ran for 20 years. Tom has two children, three grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren. His family sees the boys he grew up with as his and their family—a full life that would never have happened but for the grace of St. Andrew’s and all that they provided Tom during his formative years.

Robert “ Razz ” Driscoll Ellison ’ 88 “I am a member of St. Andrew’s Circle of Saints and 1893 Society, and a proud member of the Class of 1988. I give to St. Andrew’s as a way to honor my parents George and Clare Ellison, in memory of my classmate James Robinson Wengler-Scalzo ’88, and to invest in future generations of Saints. My parents instilled in me and my nine siblings the importance of a quality education and giving to your alma mater. My family made daily sacrifices to provide me with the support, confidence, and the necessary learning resources to help me grow and overcome my learning disability. My family and I made a pivotal decision to transfer to St. Andrew’s after my freshman year. The final decision was difficult, but looking back more than 35 years later, it was one of the most rewarding and wise decisions we made. At St. Andrew’s, my love for learning began to flourish. St. Andrew’s was the right educational environment for me and fully prepared me for a successful college career and a wonderful and rewarding career in the financial services. Giving to St. Andrew’s is an important mission that allows individuals to contribute to the future success of students and the school community as a whole. It leads to better academic outcomes, increased student well-being, and a more positive school culture. It’s a great day to be a Saint!” After graduating from St. Andrew’s, Razz obtained his undergraduate degree in Sociology with a concentration in Human Behavior from Salem State College (now Salem State University). He has also earned three professional designations from the American College in Bryn Mawr, PA. Razz has worked in the Financial Service Industry for the past 36 years and is currently an Independent Investment Advisor and a member of the Wealth Management Team at Axial Financial Group. He specializes in wealth management and retirement planning with an integrated approach to serve the needs of his clients and their trusted professionals.

Pam Farmer “I made an estate planning commitment to join the 1893 Society because my heart is here at St. Andrew’s. I have seen countless students walk through these halls and leave to become success stories. Their success is directly linked to what they have learned and been exposed to at St. Andrew’s. When I am gone, I know that a part of me will remain here to give students opportunities to travel and stretch their horizons to make the world a better place through their exposure to different cultures and countries. They will see firsthand the similarities and the differences in different countries and approach their life with a better vision.” Pam Farmer began working at St. Andrew’s in 1980 as the school’s first Spanish language teacher. She was an on-campus dorm parent for six years, as well as the Language Department Head and the first Director of Student Life. Pam’s passion for travel sparked St. Andrew’s travel program in 1982 when she took eight Middle and Upper School students to Spain. More than 40 years later, she continues this work as a Global Ambassador for EF Tours, taking St. Andrew’s alumni and their families around the world. She is currently St. Andrew’s Assistant Director of Development for Alumni Engagement.
