It is important that the entire school community participate in the process. Throughout the process, we collect and analyze data in order to produce a picture of the school which will lead us toward new Catholic Identity and student achievement goals. Parents, that’s where you come in… Tomorrow we will be sending parents an online survey about your perceptions of St. Peter School. Please take the time to answer the questions and submit your response by Friday, October 7. Teachers and students will also take a similar survey. So… Check your e-mail and take the survey. Help us self-evaluate!

Did you know… The St. Peter’s Discount Cards will be arriving soon so sales can begin for our first fundraiser of the year. The second of our 3 fundraisers, the Spaghetti Dinner, is just around the corner on November 6. We will be asking families to volunteer their time and to donate a raffle prize for this event. This year we decided to try a theme-based raffle: Home and Family Fun. Movie night baskets, snack baskets, games, and crafty items for the home are just some of the ideas for raffle prizes. Your creativity is the limit! Our third fundraiser of the year will be a new one: St. Peter’s 1st Annual Benefit Auction. It will be an adult-night-out event on March 18 with food, beverages, live and silent auctions, and a whole lot of fun! Thank you for supporting St. Peter School with your time, talents, and treasure!

The buses will be leaving at 8:00 and returning before the end of the day. Keep the children (and adults) in your prayers as they enjoy all God’s creatures great and small. In compliance with the Diocesan “Protecting Our Youth,” all volunteers are required to complete an online “Protecting God’s Children” training through VIRTUS. If you are on our volunteer list, you are receiving detailed information today. Please read it carefully, and if you have any questions, you may call the business office (419-294-1268). Scrip order forms are due October 3. The St. Peter’s Parent Team met yesterday and new members were welcomed. We are planning some very special family events, so keep watching for updates to mark your calendars. The next meeting will be November 13. The sixth graders will be attending Camp Y-Noah on Oct. 6-7. This overnight trip gives our preteens a chance to bond and build life skills as they participate in team building and leadership activities. |
