St. Peter Weekly News!

Principal's Message:

Dear St. Peter Family,

My daughter Kerry loves Thanksgiving and always feels badly because she believes it is the most overlooked holiday. She loves the Thanksgiving parade, being with family, and baking with my mom. Every year, she gives me a hard time for getting the Christmas lights out before Thanksgiving even though I promise not to light them until the day after. Of course, we laugh and tease each other about this, but I think my daughter has a point. I don't want to miss a good opportunity to think about everything I have and thank God. This week at school, we have been quietly thinking about all the gifts we have to be thankful for. I hope everyone has an enjoyable Thanksgiving break filled with love, laughter, family, and friends!

St. Peter, friend of Jesus, PRAY FOR US!

Mrs. Kadel

Faith Moment

A Thanksgiving Prayer

Good and gracious God, we come before You today united with all who give You thanks and praise. Fill us with gratitude for Your many blessings both physical and spiritual.

We thank You in particular this day for the gifts of food and community/family. Bless this food, Lord, that it may nourish our bodies. Bless our family, especially those who can’t be with us today. Also today, we remember those who have gone to be with You.

Grant us Your spiritual blessings and help us pray daily for the grace to serve You in response to Your abundant gifts to us. Bless all who serve You throughout the World.

We pray this in the name of Jesus, Your Son, Our Lord who gives all things freely according to our needs. Continue to bless us and give us Your peace.

Amen.

They Just Keep Winning!

It was cold and wet and the first snow of the season fell on them, but our junior high boys persevered! The boys traveled to Milford on Sunday where they won their first match of the state SAY tournament, 3-2. Parker Davidson had two goals and Gary Mills earned a sportsmanship patch from the opposing team. Our boys continue to make us proud! They will return to Milford this Saturday, November 20th for their next match at 3:30. If they win Saturday, they will advance to the semi-finals on Sunday. Please keep the boys and their families in your prayers as they travel back and forth and for their health and safety. We are so proud of you! GO PANTHERS!

The Building and Design Process

The 7th and 8th graders used the engineering and design process to create mini Mayflower Ships! They had to test their ships for speed and total capacity. The winning ship held over 500 grams and made it safely to shore...whew! Congratulations to Anna Duncan and Milah Schulker for building the winning Mayflower with a capacity 530 grams and a speed of 1.44 seconds. Well done!

Miss Deis the Great!

A big congratulations and thank you to Miss Deis who was just awarded a $500 grant from the St. Remy Institute for our school! Miss Deis applied for this grant to help us with our devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. These funds will help us purchase sacramentals in our classrooms and around our beautiful school. Well done, Miss Deis!

Congratulations Laila!

Laila Hartley, 5th grade, was the very lucky winner of a PlayStation 5! Laila was not only our top Mumkin seller at St. Peter School, but she was also one of the top sellers in the entire region! Laila's name was entered into a drawing, and she won the PlayStation 5! Thank you to Laila and her family for supporting our school! You deserve it Laila!
