Mrs. Porting's class had the highest mass participation
with 73% week one.
Week two Mr. Rockers class took the
top spot with 76%.
To encourage Mass participation during Advent we have placed slips of paper with a small prayer on them in the back of St. Peter and St. Andrew Church. When students and their families attend Mass each weekend of Advent they can pick up a slip of paper at church.
On Monday of each week students will bring in the slip of paper and add it to the advent prayer chain in school.
If your family is not Catholic, or attends another place of worship, or attends another Catholic church they can bring in their bulletin and receive a slip of paper on Monday at the office. The Mass schedule for St. Peter is Saturday evening at 5:15, 7:00 p.m. and Sunday at 7:00. 8:30, 10:00, 11:30 a.m. and 1:00pm in Spanish. St. Andrew. Masses are Saturday at 5:30 p.m. & Sunday at 9:30 a.m.

We would like to continue a tradition started in 2004 at St. Peter Interparish School. In order to reinforce the true meaning of Christmas, we encourage as many children as possible to present baby gifts to the altar during the last school Mass before Christmas on Wednesday, December 21st at 1:45p.m. Students will be presenting their gift in honor of the birth of Jesus. This is strictly on a voluntary basis. The baby items will be taken to Birthright to be distributed to mothers in need. The items do not need to be fancy or new. No large bulky items please. Clean used items in good condition are welcomed. Some items of need are blankets, sleepers, tee shirts, socks, baby wipes, toys, clothing for children up to size 2 and formula. There is no need to spend a lot of money. If you choose to participate, please have the gift ready to present at the last Mass of the year on Dec. 21st. The gifts do not need to be wrapped.

Parochial Schools & Heroes Night

Excused & Unexcused Tardy Policy
|
|
Students are considered tardy, unexcused, if they are not in the building by 7:50 AM.
On days where there are obvious traffic or weather issues, the administration will waive this policy, making the student's absence an excused tardy.
Parents need to sign the tardy slip, for both an excused and unexcused tardy. This lets the school know that the parent is aware the child was tardy and not in our care at 7:50 AM.
If you still have questions, please call the school office.
|
|
School cancellations due to weather will be sent 1st by text. So if you are not signed up you can do so by visiting our school web page and looking under the parent information tab.
We will then post it on the school website & Facebook. The television and radio stations will be contacted.
Email is not our preferred way of notification, unless we are already at school and will be dismissing early.
Please do not call the school to see if we are cancelling early. When a decision is made the parents are the first to know!
|
A lot of lost & found has been turned in. We have a cabinet full! It will be put out on a table outside the office for the next week, then it will all be donated.

Now that the cold weather is upon us, please have your child(ren) dress appropriately for the weather.

Playground Fundraising Update
|
As we near the end of 2016, I would like to update everyone on our continued playground fundraising! I am happy to share the images of our intended preschool structure, which will be safety rated for ages 2-5. This structure will be located next to the current structure, which is intended for ages 5-12.
We have currently raised approximately $43,760.00!!!! That is really awesome, considering we just started fundraising at this time last year!!! Some of the fundraising we have done so far includes:
- Spirit Wear Fundraiser (100% of sales are donated to us from this fundraiser)
- SPIS H&S Committee Donation
- Catholic Schools Week Activities
- Big Bucks Game of Chance
- Big Bucks Fund-A-Need Auction Donations
- Knights of Columbus Fish Fry
- Dollar Dress Down Days
- Summer Blast Off Day BBQ
- Cinnamon Rolls
- Chick-Fil-A Mornings
- Individual Private Donations
Our entire project will cost approximately $180,000!
Historically, prices increase somewhere between 3-5% each year so it is most beneficial that we reach our goal as quickly as possible! If you have any suggestions for fundraising or would like to make a tax deductible donation to this cause before the end of the calendar year, please contact Lacy Ralston at 573-636-8922 ext. 329. The perseverance, generosity and continued support of our parish and school families is so greatly appreciated!!!
