From its earliest beginnings, the Church has held Mary, the mother of Jesus, in great esteem. She is called the Mother of God, Mother of the Church, and our own Blessed Mother. Catholics can show their devotion to Mary by inviting her to pray with and for them. One way of doing this is by using the rosary and thinking about the events in her life and the life of her son.
Take some time to pray the Rosary with your family this month. There are many ways you can do this, in the car or at bedtime. You can find apps, videos on You Tube, or CDs.

Mr. Fruteland Jackson
This week we have had the great opportunity to meet a wonderful musician and blues educator, Fruteland Jackson. Fruteland was brought to us by the very generous group, MO Blues Assoc. He shared concerts/activities with our students of Pre-school to 4th grade. In the 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th grade classes, Fruteland shared his talents and knowledge in a smaller setting in the music room. Some of our students were challenged to create their own short, blues, vocal solo!

Spring Musical - "The show must go on!"
Mrs. Stuckenschneider is thrilled to announce that the spring musical will continue to be a fun extra-curricular activity for students in grades 6, 7 & 8! She feels we have been blessed to have volunteers step forward to lead this activity. Keith Enloe has volunteered to lead the stage direction of the musical. He will work with co-director, Marti Dupuis. She will lead the teaching of the music and the choreography. Mrs. Stuckenschneider is also very grateful to Paula Backues, Julia Hinton and Jennifer Godwin for offering their help with the administrative tasks of the musical.

Speaking of the holidays, they will be here before we know it. Remember to stock up for your purchases for Thanksgiving dinner and Black Friday shopping. Scrip will NOT be available the week of Thanksgiving as we only have two (2) days of school that week.

| Looking for Business Partnership |
We are currently seeking a business partner for the 2016-2017 school year. A partner can be involved in a variety of ways. In the past, partner employees have been guest readers in the classrooms, have given presentations to classes about their business or field, and invited our students to visit them for tours! Some partners have preferred to be involved more on a monetary donation level. From the school side we have made decorations for events such as retirement luncheons and placed our partner's logo or company name on t-shirts and our newsletter for advertising. Our music department has even provided entertainment during the holiday season! We are always open to new ideas and ways to be involved in the community! If you own or manage a business, or know someone who does, and would be interested in partnering with us this year, please contact Gayle Trachsel at
gtrachsel@stpeterjc.org St. Peter Interparish School.
