"Inspiring students to love God, their Catholic faith and learning"
From the Office
We have made changes to our website. Please use this link: St. Peter JC to access our webpage for the future. We will no longer use the St. Peter Interparish google site. Please save this link in your browser.
If you are interested in advertising in the school newsletter, please contact Carrie Hayes (CHayes@stpeterjc.org) for more information. It is an inexpensive way to reach out to potential clients and it helps to support the newsletter program. Our first opening is already our first newsletter for April!
We are in need of reams of paper to make it through the rest of the school year. Please consider donating some! You may bring them directly to the school office. Thank you in advance!!
Calendar Changes
Track and Little Olympic Pictures scheduled for Wednesday, April 6th has been changed to Wednesday, April 13th.

As mentioned in previous newsletters, the Bishop has granted us extra days off at Easter! There will be NO school April 14 thru April 20. Students will return to school Thursday, April 21, 2022.
Enrollment Deadline April 8th
2022-2023 Enrollment is Now Open for All Students! Families have received an email with directions for enrollment. EVERY student needs to enroll for next year by April 8th.

Fundraising
Scrip News:
Aris Bistro has closed, but you can use Bistro Scrip Cards at Aris.
March 31, 2022 is the last day for scrip rebates to apply to your fundraising for this year.  April 1st will start next year’s totals. Remember if you have an 8th grader, any funds you raise can be applied to Helias. So don’t let this stop you from buying scrip for the next 4 years. 
I will be sending home End of Year Statements next week. Please look them over, check where you want your money to go, sign them and return them to school ASAP. I need to have them all back no later than May 6th

Other Fundraisers: 
World's Finest Chocolate Bar money needs to be returned ASAP so we can close out the year of fundraising and get the money distributed to the appropriate places.  
 
Grandfather Clock
This beautiful Grandfather Clock was handmade by Fred Lueckenhoff. He donated this clock, and a few others, to St. Peter Big Bucks several years ago. Larry Herzing won this particular clock during a Big Bucks Live Auction and has since donated it to St. Peter Catholic School. The clock workings are from Germany and there is a brass engraved name tag on the inside with Fred's name on it. Mr. Lueckenhoff's time and talents have always been a real treasure to St. Peter!
To help raise money for our St. Peter Scholarship fund, we are raffling off this gem! The St. Peter Scholarship fund helps to pay school fees for our families that can not afford it on their own. Raffle tickets are $2 each or 6 for $10. You can print those from here and turn them in to the school office with your payment. The drawing will be held May 9, 2022. If you would like to see the clock in person, it is located just outside of the school office. Please help support this cause and take home this breath taking piece of craftsmanship!

We would like to invite you to join us on Tuesday, April 5, 2022, 6:30 PM, at the Wardsville Lion’s Club, to hear Rachel’s Story.
