St. Andrew's Episcopal Church Amarillo is ready to continue in the 2026-2027 school year to support and encourage the amazing staff of our community partner schools: Hamlet Elementary and Sam Houston Middle School (Amarillo ISD). Last week, leaders met with principals Justin Ruiz (Hamlet, pictured below) and Brad Phillips (Houston) to make sure we're on the same page.

Here are two photos not yet posted from Hamlet, with cupcakes in April provided by Barbara Whitton and a full meal in May provided by the wonderful ladies of the Altar Guild. Sorry, no photos received from Houston in April and May. Cascarones and colorful pens in April provided by Mia Forrester and a full meal in May provided by Daddios on Patios.

Treats like these are so uplifting and help these dedicated educators continue in their demanding work!

St. Andrew's Episcopal Church Amarillo had a great time Saturday, June 20, connecting with our friends in the North Heights celebrating Juneteenth. Some distributed water to the parade participants as they lined up. Some marched in the parade. Participants called the event "uplifting" and "awesome."

How about joining in next year?

St. Andrew's Episcopal Church Amarillo, here's a great volunteer opportunity with Refugee Language Project. No teaching experience needed.

Can you give one hour a week this summer? Our classes pause for the season, but our students' growth doesn't have to. Summer English Tutoring is a simple, flexible way to practice conversation, build connection, and be part of our mission — no teaching experience needed. We'll provide a short training and match you with a student based on your availability. With nearly 200 students counting on us, we'd love to have you on board.
