Safegaurding Class
At back to school night everyone was given a packet that explained the expectations of becoming a volunteer/chaperone. The Archdiocese policy is that in order to participate in these activities you must first take a safeguarding class. St. Peter's is going to be hosting a class on Thursday, October 24th at 6pm in the school cafe. Please follow the instructions below to sign up for the class.

Soles 4 Souls
St. Peter's Brickbusters is hosting a shoe drive! Please bring in your gently worn shoes and place them in the designated bin that is located near the school office. Every pair of shoes helps! In your red folders you will find a letter that explains more about the organization and the wonderful things it is doing for those in need.

Calendar Raffles
 Every family was sent home with the yearly calendar raffles that are due December 20th. Many families have shown interest in the past regarding selling these after masses. This year we have created a calendar for selling. If you would like to sell calendars after an upcoming mass please notify the school office and we will add your family. There are also times available for selling at Fall Fest.
