Easter Weekend School Days
I’m sure you know there is no school tomorrow in remembrance of Good Friday. Thus, Pieces of the Rock comes to you a day early. Another reminder: we will have school this Monday, April 22, to make up for a winter weather day.
Call Declined
With disappointment, we bring you the sad news: our principal-elect, Mrs. Lacey Hoogland, has returned our call to St. Peter’s. Our principal call committee is back in action, researching names of other potential candidates, with the intent of placing another call yet this spring. We’ll keep you updated as we pray the Lord will place the right person in the principal’s chair.
Gr. 3 & 4 ILEARN
We wish God’s blessings on our third and fourth graders as they initiate the ILEARN testing at St. Peter’s this coming week. Fifth and sixth are the next week followed the seventh and eighth graders the third week. We pray for healthy, rested and alert kids, ready to do their best!
Calendar Check
With the last month of the school year looming, we’re entering prime field trip and special events season. You can find a complete list as we now have it at the end of this newsletter. Please add appropriate events to your calendar and watch for weekly updates!
Ronald McDonald Bags
At the beginning of the week, the box of Ronald McDonald care bags in the main hall was full. Now there is only one. Many thanks to all who are providing encouragement to children receiving treatment at PRMC. Remember, your filled bags should be returned to school by Tuesday, April 23. Actually, more bags are being added to the box today, if you’re still interested. Questions? E-mail sixth grader Brennen West at kids.in.action.fw@gmail.com . Thanks, Brennen, for your leadership on this very important project!

Uniform Swap
Do you have the spring cleaning bug? Are you're kids outgrowing their uniforms? The PTL is going to try the uniform swap a little differently for next year. Starting in May, you can bring into school your gently used and washed uniforms and Friday shirts. Then, starting in June, anyone who needs a different size uniform for next year can come to the school and "shop". Lost and Found items from this school year will also be laid out if anyone is missing any items.
PTL Board
Do you have any interest in the PTL? The current PTL board will stay on for one more year, but we would like anyone that maybe interested being on the board to join us for next year so we can show you the "ropes" and be mentors for you before taking over.

One Team. One God. One Goal. One Sports Reporter.
By: Brynn Campbell, Grade 6
The Wildcat’s spring sports are now in full swing! The Track team’s season opener last Thursday evening included Emmanuel St. Michael, St. Paul, and Concordia. We had 3 new record breakers: Tori Crozier (5 th grade) Shot Put, Karsten Enustun (8 th grade) Hurdles, and Mallory Weller (5 th grade) 800m. The Wildcat Track team took 1 st place for JV boys, 2 nd place for Varsity boys, 2 nd place for JV girls, and Varsity girls finished in 4 th place. The Varsity girls Soccer team lost to Central (3-0) on Wednesday night. Although the record reflects the loss, coaches Hartman and Moher are optimistic about the rest of the season.
