Principal's Message:
Dear St. Peter Family,
Who can believe we are about to begin our last month of what has been an amazing and joyful school year? As you will be able to see from this week's news, our many Spring events are beginning to pop up all over! Please look over the weekly news carefully the next few weeks for information about the many fun and exciting events that will be happening here at school! Next week, we have May Crowning on Wednesday, a walk to Dairy Queen for our top flower sellers on Thursday, and a day off for rest on Friday. Please note that Thursday is the last day to turn in orders for the Summer Skills books, if you are interested. Looking ahead, we have the Junior High musical and some field trips, in addition to finishing out lessons and tests before summer! It's going to be a busy four weeks for us, but of course, we will get through it together with prayer, love, and joy. Have a wonderful weekend!
St. Peter, friend of Jesus,
PRAY FOR US!
Mrs. Kadel

May Crowning
At its simplest, May Crowning is a ritual celebrated in the month of May where an image or statue of Mary is crowned with a wreath of flowers and honored as the Queen of Heaven and the Mother of God. But this simple ceremony carries deep meaning for the Catholic faith.
The Ceremony
Unlike most holidays, May Crowning doesn’t have a set date and can be celebrated at any time during the month of May. There is also no set ritual, but traditionally May Crownings are celebrated during Mass after a procession, and a crown of flowers is placed on the head of a statue of Mary.
The Meaning of May Crowning
While Mary the Mother of God is revered and celebrated all year long, May is a special month to celebrate the “Queen of Heaven.” There are many reasons Mary is considered the “Queen of Heaven.” She was a perfect follower of Christ and so is considered the crown of creation. She is also the Mother of the Son of God, Jesus, who is the King of the Universe. And, of course, she is the most important woman of our faith and our spiritual mother.
Please join us next Wednesday at our 9:00 AM School Mass for May Crowning! Students in grades K-7 will need to bring a flower to school for Mary!
| Blessings for Miss Josefovsky | On Wednesday, during our school Mass, Father Kyle blessed Miss Josefovsky who will be married this weekend! We have been praying for Miss J all week and wish her and her husband years of love and laughter. We can't wait to welcome Mrs. Russell back to St. Peter next week! | St. Peter Family STEM Night | What an amazing night of Science and fun as Mrs. Myers and Mr. Patterson hosted a Family STEM Night on Thursday evening. Led by our amazing junior high students, tables of experiments and activities were all around to get minds thinking and problem-solving. Thank you to Mrs. Myers and Mr. Patterson for all their hard work and to our students who made the stations exciting and fun! Most of all, thank you to all the families who joined us for a great evening. Don't forget to sign up for Camp Invention June 6-10 right here at St. Peter! | First Graders Journey to Africa! | Mrs. Gabriel's first graders have been studying Africa, and each student chose a focus animal they learned about. With help from amazing seventh grade buddies, the first graders researched their focus animal, made 3-D masks of their animals, and are making posters using different writing styles they have learned about like poetry, fantasy, fact, and opinion. Great work! | Congratulations Graduates! | Today, our fifth graders graduated from the COPS Program with the help of some friends from the Huber Heights Police Department! COPS stands for Concentrating On Positive Stuff. Since January, Officer Tammy Shoemaker has visited weekly, teaching our fifth graders about making good choices and doing the right things for themselves and others. Special thanks to Officer Shoemaker, Miss Espy, and Mrs. Henneman for all your hard work and dedication to helping our fifth graders grow. | |
