Piggly Wiggly Receipts
Please remember, third quarter receipts are coming due. Please turn in all your July/August/September receipts by October 2nd in the back of church, the rectory, or school.

We appreciate your patience and understanding throughout our soft lockdown this morning. We were updated by the District Resource Officer that they have identified the source of the threat and that all schools may resume normal daily procedures. Our soft lockdown has ended and students will be outside for lunch recess. We did not discuss this situation directly with students in any way this morning as we feel that unless necessary, that is a decision of the parents to make once at home. Thank you. Mrs. Sagat Dear Parents,
We were notified by ETSD that yesterday they received a threat of violence to students at Prairie View. We have been in contact with the District Resource Officer and at this time he does not believe there is any immediate threat to students. We have gone into a Soft Lockdown for this morning and will continue to reassess the situation. Soft Lockdown simply means that all students are to remain in the building. Morning recess will be held in the gym. Please know that we are only doing this as a precaution. Student safety is extremely important to us and we want to be sure that we are taking all necessary steps to maintain their safety. I will send a follow-up email around lunch time giving updated information on the lockdown.

Calling all families to help us on Good Friday after the 12pm Mass to assist with spring clean up on the church and school grounds. We will meet in front of church. Please bring your favorite garden tools and it would help if you have extras to bring for sharing. Some garden tools to dust off and consider bringing: rakes, garden gloves, hand-held clippers or scissors (for trimming down plants), tarps would be most helpful (for transporting leaves and debris to the compost area) and perhaps a bucket for small debris and a kneeler. Parents and students are encouraged to wear their St. Peter's apparel. Volunteering at the St. Peter's Clothing Center Our 4th and 5th grade students spent the afternoon at the St. Peter's Clothing Center assisting with organizing and cleaning after the bag sale.

Last week, St. Peter's Faith Formation families received information about Safe Environment Lessons that are going to be taking place and a few parents have reached out about whether our students take part in these lessons as well. St. Peter's School students do take part in these safe environment lessons, so I wanted to update you on when these lessons will be taking place and what the topics will be for each class.
We utilize the Circle of Grace curriculum that is approved by the Archdiocese of Milwaukee to discuss age appropriate, but sometimes sensitive topics with children that primarily revolve around personal safety. We teach these lessons in 1-2 days during the last week of May. Below are the topics that will be taught for each class. If you do not wish for your child(ren) to participate in these lessons you may opt out. I am happy to share more details of the lessons with any parents who has concerns, but I assure you that these are based on what is appropriate content for each age level. 3K/4K/5K-What is our Circle of Grace? 1st Grade-Safe/Unsafe secrets -Trusted Adults 2nd/3rd grade- What Belongs in our Circle of Grace? -Action Plan (How to respond to unsafe situations) 4th/5th Grade- Internet Safety -What role does media play in our Circle of Grace?
