Playground Renovations and Updates:
SPIRIT WEAR FUNDRAISER

We are kicking off a SPIRIT WEAR fundraiser to continue raising money for improvements and renovations of our Preschool and Elementary playgrounds.  We would like to be able to remove the mulch from our playgrounds and replace it with rubber padding as well as relocate the preschool playground.  Renovations such as this will be very costly, so you will see different opportunities to contribute to this fundraiser throughout the year. 
This is a ONE TIME only order and all orders MUST be received by December 1,2016
Spirit Wear from these orders can be worn on Spirit Days only.  Please see the attached order form for this Spirit Wear order.  Samples will be available in the school office for sizing if needed. 
All orders will be returned in time to be given as Christmas gifts.  If you would like to pick your order up in the school office rather than having it sent home with your child, please be sure to note this on the order form.    
If you have questions about the playground renovations, or are interested in helping with future fundraising for these renovations, please contact Lacy Ralston@ 573-636-8922 ext. 329.

All Souls Intentions
Soon our Church calendar will turn to November 2, the Feast of All Souls. On this day and throughout November, we will remember loved ones now separated from us by death. We will pray for their everlasting happiness with God and express our hope for reunion with them. This is the promise of our faith.

The children of St. Peter Interparish School invite you to list the names of your departed loved ones on the form below so that we can remember them in their prayers during the month of November. It is our hope that the response to this letter will be great enough that each school child will have at least 5 persons to pray for at that Mass and throughout the month of November.
