I wanted to share some news about next year. Our band teacher, Mrs. Melendez, has given St. Peter Interparish and St. Joseph Cathedral her notice that, at this time, her personal and family schedule does not allow her to return for next year, and the interparish band position is officially open for applications. We are so thankful for her willingness to step into such an important program when an opening occurred just before this school year. Please keep her and our schools in your prayers as we work to continue building up a strong instrumental music program for our disciples!
All other contracted staff will be returning for the 16-17 school year. We will have some moves within the building. Due to large class size in third grade, we will have three fourth grades for next year. We are closely watching third grade enrollment to determine if we will have two or three classrooms in third grade next year. Also, Rachel Ratcliff will be teaching preschool in the five year old room. Lindsey Hammann will be teaching preschool in the 4 year old room. Christa Cain will be teaching in 4th grade. We look forward to an exciting,faith filled year.

Studies show that one in four females, and one in six males, will be a victim of sexual abuse by the time they reach the age of 18. You can help prevent this from happening.
