Principal's Message:
Dear St. Peter Family,
Excitement is building every day around this wonderful school as we approach the end of another successful year! Although we are celebrating many accomplishments and looking forward to end-of-year activities and celebrations, I can honestly tell you that learning is still top priority! Walking through the halls, you'd never know it's almost summer based on the hard work and conversations happening within the classrooms. That is a credit to both our top-notch teachers and our outstanding students. A few things to mention...Father Kyle has challenged us all to one last fundraiser for the school year. We are collecting money to help the Elizabeth New Life Center, but we have a lot of work to do before we reach our goal! See the article below for more details! Summer Skills workbooks have arrived for those who ordered them. They will be sent home next week with your child. I ordered just a few extras per grade, so if you did not order but would like a book, just let me know! Last, but not least, very special and HUGE thanks goes out to Miss Kruse, Mrs. Funke, Mr. Patterson, and Ms. VonSossan for the countless hours of hard work given for our production of Cinderella. The students performed beautifully. There is nothing better than seeing our talented teachers and students shine, and shine they did! Just when I think I can't possibly be prouder of our school than I already am, something else amazing happens and I know that St. Peter is an extraordinary and awesome school. What an honor to be a part of something so amazing! Have a wonderful weekend and enjoy the beautiful weather!
St. Peter, friend of Jesus,
PRAY FOR US!
Mrs. Kadel

Our Lady of Fatima
On May 13, 1917, the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to three shepherd children as they were grazing their sheep in Fatima, Portugal. Their names were Lucia, Francisco, and Jacinta. She appeared "brighter than the sun, shedding rays of light clearer and stronger than a crystal goblet filled with the most sparkling water and pierced by the burning rays of the sun." Mary identified herself as Our Lady of the Rosary. She taught the children to recite the rosary daily, to pray for the conversion of sinners, to make small sacrifices as penance in reparation for sin, and to honor her Immaculate Heart. Our Lady appeared at Fatima on the 13th day of the month from May to October of that year. The final apparition was the well-documented celestial phenomena of the "Miracle of the Sun" witnessed by tens of thousands of people, believers and unbelievers alike. After investigation, the apparition at Fatima was declared worthy of belief by the Catholic Church. The feast of Our Lady of Fatima is May 13th.
| St. Peter Junior High Presents: Cinderella! | Bravo to our very talented junior high students who have put together a fantastic production of Roger and Hammerstein's Cinderella. With help on vocals from our 4th and 5th graders, the musical was a delight! The show has been such a success that tonight's performance is sold-out! A million thanks to Miss Kruse, Mrs. Funke, Mr. Patterson, and Ms. VonSossan, as well as to the entire cast for their hours of practice and hard work. Very well done! | On Tuesday, the 4th grade students took a field trip to Carillon Park. They were able to see many Dayton innovations and different types of transportation and communication advances over time. It was a great day for a trip, with lots of sunshine and fun! | Violence Prevention Winners | St. Peter School had several students recognized in this year's Violence Protection contest sponsored by Montgomery County Prosecutor, Mat Heck. In the poster division, Josh Fowler won first prize, Isabelle Mahl took second place, and Eliana Egbert came in third. Honorable Mentions were given to Anna Duncan, Jordyn Hagen, Angel Irakoze, Jackson Liette, Cara McCormick, Jaydon Smith, and Kelly Stewart. Congratulations to our awesome students! |  |  |
