St. Peter Weekly News!

Principal's Message:

Dear St. Peter Family,

We have had a great week at school filled with faith and learning! As I visited classrooms this week I observed first graders reading to each other and using math manipulatives to solve subtraction problems. Our eighth graders were engaged in a competitive game of Kahoot as they prepared for their test on the American colonies. Our Kindergarteners through third graders are working every single day on building their phonemic awareness skills. As I walk through the halls I can here words and sentences being broken down and built back up again. Our 4^th graders practiced their rounding skills by remembering, “If it’s four or less let it rest. If it’s five or more raise the score.” The amount of learning that is happening every day is amazing! But as always, we never forget our faith and how we are called to live like Jesus. Please check out all the good news and acts of service that happened this week. I am so very proud of our amazing students, our outstanding teachers, and our beautiful families.

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

Mrs. Kadel

Hurricane Fund Collection

On Friday, September 3^rd, the faculty, staff, and students came together to help victims of Hurricane Ida. We filled a jar that Father Kyle will help us send to the Archdiocese of New Orleans so that the money can be used where it is needed. This collection was special because nothing was given in return for a donation. Students donated simply to help others. What great examples of our faith. Thank you to all who contributed with donations and prayers!

The Buddy Bench

Last Friday some concerned and caring students presented an idea for our playground. They proposed that we place a Buddy Bench outside under the trees. The Buddy Bench’s purpose is to end loneliness on the playground. If a student is looking for a friend or something to do, they sit on the bench.

ECC Happenings

September 22^nd is the first day of autumn. We are planning for the chilly months ahead. As we think towards the winter months we wanted to let our families know some of the changes regarding snow days. If the St. Peter Elementary School is closed; both programs the Before and After School Program (SAP) and the Early Childhood Center (ECC) will be closed. If there is a delay due to snow; both programs (SAP and ECC) will operate at regular hours; 7 am to 6 pm. Look out for a summer camp survey coming out in November.
