 WINTER CONCERT CHANGE OF DATE - GRADES 2, 3 & 4

MARCH 7, 2024 at 7:00PM

The date of the winter concert for students in grades 2, 3 & 4 has been changed to Thurs., Mar. 7. With so many days off and shortened schedules,

 it became apparent that we would not have enough time to adequately prepare the students and their special parts for the winter concert.  

Hello! My name is Brenda Raymer and I am one of the 4th grade teachers here at St. Peter. This is my 32nd year teaching and 25 of those have been at St. Peter. I earned my bachelor’s degree from (Southwest) Missouri State University and my masters degree from Lincoln University. I have been an active member of St. Peter Parish since my husband, Tim, and I moved to town in 1992. We have 2 children: Nathan and Matthew. Nathan, 27, graduated from the University of Missouri with a mechanical engineering degree and is currently working at the Callaway Nuclear Plant. This summer he married the girl of his dreams, Annie Donovan. Annie works in the parish office here at St. Peter, so now there are two “Mrs. Raymers” on campus. Matthew, 23, graduated from Missouri State University with a degree in acting. He often performs in shows for Capital City Productions and, during the day, he works at Samuel’s Fine Menswear. We also have 2 cats, Siren and Apollo, and one dog, Carly. In my spare time I love to watch the Chiefs and am usually very disappointed when football season is over. I enjoy going to garage sales to buy things for my school kids' CBG exchanges. I greatly enjoy baking and have made many wedding cakes, even my son’s. Most of all, I love spending time with family and friends.
