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. I have attached a Google calendar to sign up for times during fall festival.   CALENDAR
 
Pancakes With Santa
We are excited to announce that on Sunday, December 15th from 7:00 a.m.- 12 p.m. St. Peters's will be hosting a winter wonderland pancake breakfast in the cafe. We understand that it's early to be thinking of Christmas already, but December calendars fill fast!. Our goal is to make this a community wide event that extends beyond the school, so the more people that are informed the better. But, we need your help spreading the word! All we ask is that you visit the Facebook event that has been created on St. Peter's Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/events/374108270194569/ and share it to YOUR Facebook page. With your help of drumming up excitement and informing others, we are hoping to make this a huge success, as money raised from the pancake breakfast will go directly to funding technology at our school.
 
Frank's Piggly Wiggly Receipts
Receipts from Frank's Piggly Wiggly are coming due for 3rd quarter (July, August, and September). Any and all receipts from 3rd quarter need to be turned in at the back of church or school by September 30th so we can collect, count, and submit them to Frank's. This fundraiser raised over $1600 in 2018 and we would like to keep it going strong. Thank you for your support!
