The Central Missouri Honor Flight is a non-profit organization created solely to honor America’s veterans for all of their sacrifices. The group transports our heroes from throughout Central Missouri to Washington D.C., to visit and reflect at their memorials at no cost to them. The Central Missouri Honor Flight is funded by donations from individuals, organizations and businesses. 

St. Peter Catholic School will be raising funds to help send veterans on the next Honor Flight with the purchase of a special spirit wear shirt. A portion of each shirt sold will be donated to the Central Missouri Honor Flight on Veterans Day. This spirit wear shirt is not just for St. Peter Catholic School families; please feel free to share the link with friends and family.  The order deadline is October 21st in hopes that shirts will be available to wear for Veterans Day, November 11th.

Being able to identify persons picking up our students at the end of the day is one of the many ways we strive to keep our students safe.  Our goal is that all vehicles entering our lot are identifiable as a St. Peter School member authorized to pick up students.  

We have ordered customized St. Peter Hang Tags to identify vehicles that are authorized to pick-up students at dismissal.  Unfortunately their arrival from the manufacturer has been delayed.  Once they arrive, we will label them with family names and distribute them to the families through the students. After they are distributed we will require ALL vehicles entering the lot at dismissal to display a hang tag.

We will provide 2 tags to each family at no cost.  If additional tags are needed they can be purchased for $2.00 per tag.  Purchasing information will be sent home when the hang tags have arrived and we are prepared to distribute them. 

An ACTIVE Parishioner:

• Is registered in the parish
• Regularly participates in Mass and the Sacraments
• Sacrificially tithing to the parish
• Is involved in parish activities and ministries as noted on the annual Parish Stewardship Commitment of Time, Talent and Treasure form

Here is a brief discription of the difference between an extra main entree and an extra side entree:

Main entree....any food providing protein for the lunch...hamburger, chicken products, grilled cheese sandwich, mozzarella cheese sticks, sausage links...etc.

Side entree...any food other than protein...soups, veggies, fruits, grains.

Also a reminder to all students...desserts are always free for all students.

A successful candidate is a practicing Catholic in good standing who can minister to students regardless of subject area or a teacher who, consistent with the Mission of St Peter School, promotes and teaches the Catholic faith as reasonably determined by the principal. Applicants should hold the appropriate Missouri teaching certification or its equivalent. All interested persons should complete the application on the Jefferson City Diocesan website and contact the Principal, Mrs. Gayle Trachsel at Gtrachsel@stpeterjc.org.
