If you haven’t heard yet, Mrs. Amy Flaherty, our 3rd grade teacher for 35 years, will retire in June. We will celebrate the huge impact she has made on all of our lives with cake on the playground on the last day of school. Anyone and everyone is invited to come to the playground on May 31 between 11:00-noon to wish Mrs. Flaherty well in her newfound freedom. As a bonus to us, she has agreed to be a tutor at the school for next year. Sister Lee, our long time teacher and more recently tutor, playground monitor and extended day supervisor, will finish her time at the school in June after 36 years of service. She, too, will be on the playground for all to visit on May 31.

The beautiful One Block Wonder quilt made by former student Bernadette (Smith) Haggerty will be raffled at the St. Peter School festival on June 9. SPS Challenge Grant I am always amazed at people’s generosity. In response to a recent mailing to our out-of-town alumni in which we updated them on the current happenings at St. Peter School, I received a phone call from a former student, Dave Logsdon, who wanted to speak further about how best to help our school. In our conversation, he decided to set up a “challenge grant” in memory of his mother, Carol C. Logsdon and in honor of his father, Maury Logsdon. The Logsdon Family Foundation will match up to $10,000 in support for our school, such as: school library, audio-visual equipment, technology, teaching and learning resources, and the gift that keeps on giving, the School Endowment Fund. If you would like to take part in this challenge, please mark your donation: SPS Challenge Grant. We thank Maury Logsdon and his family for supporting our efforts here at St. Peter School. Each gift is a blessing to our students, families and staff. The SPS Challenge Grant has brought in $1,950.00 so far. Up to $10,000 will be matched by the Logsdon Family Foundation! If you would like to take part in this cause, place your donation in an envelope marked “SPS Challenge Grant” and send it to school. Thank you for your support!
