Reminder: NO school on Friday, March 8th for Diocesan PD Day. Shorts allowed starting Monday, March 11th due to daylight savings.

Join us in making a profound impact on the lives of children in Uganda by supporting our initiative to build a school in this deserving community. Collaborating with local Catholic schools and the Diocesan development office, we are committed to providing access to quality education for these bright young minds. Your generous contribution will not only construct a school but will also pave the way for a brighter future, empowering children with the knowledge and opportunities they rightfully deserve. Together, let's create a place where dreams take root and flourish. Join our cause and be a part of this transformative journey towards education and empowerment in Uganda. Every donation brings us a step closer to making a lasting difference in the lives of these children. The goal to build this school is $25,000, and your support matters—let's build hope, one brick at a time. St Peter School's goal is around $5,000-$6,000. 

Thank you for your help!

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,

Hello, my name is Carrie Dunn. This is my 24th year of teaching. I have taught Kindergarten,1st, and 2nd grades. I taught for Jefferson City Public Schools for many years before joining the wonderful staff here at St. Peter’s six years ago.  I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Early Childhood Education from Missouri State University and a master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction from William Woods University. My family and I are members of St. Peter parish. My husband and I have been married for twenty-one years and have two sons. One is a senior at Helias and the other is in 8th grade here at St. Peter. I enjoy spending time with family and friends, supporting my boys in their extracurricular activities, shopping, and I love a good beach vacation!
