Beginning in October, we will now be offering an ala carte option on Tuesdays and Thursdays only.   The ala carte option will be listed on the lunch calendar, along with the ala carte price.   The ala carte option will change monthly.

There are so many exciting things happening at St. Peter's School this month!  Please make sure to check the calendar daily so you do not miss important events!   Several fun field trips, parties, and a visit from the Fire Department for Fire Safety Week too!

Fall Fest is fast approaching! It is on Oct 6th from 11-5pm and has many exciting events for the whole family! There will be games, a cake walk, rummage sale, and of course an amazing chicken dinner!  We hope to see everyone there!

We are still in need of a few more soup cans for our project that we are working on for fall fest. If you are able to please bring in any washed out soup cans that you may have at your house. These can be turned into the school office. Thank you!

Sadly Mrs. Steven's has decided to end her time here at St. Peter's. We would like to thank her for her many years of hard work and dedication to our students! With that being said please know that we are now in search of a new band teacher for this year. If you know of anyone who may be interested in this position please reach out to the school office.

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.
