Principal's Message:
Dear St. Peter Family,
I want to thank all of you who took the time to complete the parent survey last week. We had a tremendous response! I can't tell you how helpful this is for us as we prepare for our accreditation through the State of Ohio and as we make goals for improvement. I want to assure you that I read each response, and I truly appreciate both the compliments and the constructive criticism. We need to hear both in order for St. Peter School to continue to provide an outstanding Catholic education. Thank you again for your time! We are launching our annual pizza sale today! The funds raised are spent directly on our students, enhancing their experience here at school. Speaking of which, in a combined effort between our PTO and St. Peter School, we are getting five new water fountains to replace the old, outdated ones! Each water fountain will have a water bottle refill station as well. Those will be installed beginning Monday. Thank you, PTO! SOCKtober update: the students brought in 4,105 pairs of socks in October...a new St. Peter record! Thank you to everyone who donated to this great cause. It will make a big difference for many people this winter. Don't forget the students are out of school on Monday and Tuesday next week. We hope you enjoy a nice, long, and relaxing weekend! Hope to see you at conferences!
St. Peter, Friend of Jesus,
PRAY FOR US!
Mrs. Kadel

Our 6th grade classes participated in the annual saint essay contest sponsored by the Knights of Columbus. Students were asked to write about their favorite saints. Congratulations to Breyana King who won first place for her essay on St. Dymphna and Olivia Litz who took second place for her essay on St. Gemma Galgani. Outstanding work, ladies! | Great Opportunity for Service Hours! | The annual St. Peter Christmas Bazaar will be held on Saturday and Sunday, November 12th and 13th. The Christmas Bazaar Team needs LOTS of help from our 6th, 7th, and 8th graders to make this event happen! On Friday, November 11th, help is needed in setting up the cafeteria. On Saturday and Sunday, the 12th and 13th, students can help by taking and delivering food orders to our vendors. Parents, if you'd like to get involved, we could definitely use your help too!

Our choir will be singing that night as well! I also need some volunteers from students in grades 5-8 who might be interested in doing a reading.
