Home & School Announcements
June 2010
I would like to thank everyone that has decided to volunteer for another year on either the Executive Committee or as a Chairperson for our next academic year. It is exciting to witness all of the changes that have occurred in the past two years that my son has been at St. Peter's. I have come to love this school as much as he does and hope to inspire that in others. I have a lot of ideas for this upcoming year. I will be sharing some of those ideas in future postings. Please feel free to contact me if you have any specific requests.
From the last update I received, there are still a few positions within the H&SA that are vacant. Please consider committing some of your time and talent (two of our Stewardship "T"s!) to St. Peter's this upcoming academic year. The success of our association relies on our volunteers.
Also in that vein, I would personally like to thank Jennifer Schwalbe and the rest of the H&SA Officers and Chairs for all of the hard work for the past year or more. Thank you for all that you have done for St. Peter's!
I hope that all of our students, teachers, parents, and staff have a great summer. I look forward to seeing new as well as familiar faces at Vacation Bible School this summer!

As we come to a close, I would like to thank everyone for all of your support during the last two years. Being a part of the H&S Association has been a great experience, and I look forward to new experiences in the future. I wish everyone a great and safe summer.
Thank you and God Bless. Jennifer Schwalbe, H&SA President

I would like to thank all the parents that attended the first H&S meeting. The meeting was a great success. We would not have been able to have this great meeting if it wasn't for the parents, staff and 2nd grades students.
Mrs. Portman did a wonderful job in preparing our 2nd grade students for their musical performance. We hope to have many more student performances during our meetings throughout the year.
Congratulations to Mrs. Ducey's class for having the most parents' attendance. Don't forget the next meeting will be December 15.

Welcome back students, parents, new families, and staff. Hope everyone had a wonderful and safe summer break. The H&S Association has been busy planning a fun and exciting school year. Some of this years upcoming events are family fun nights, such as bingo, movie and reading and a raffle drawing at the last school meeting for $1500 towards next years tuition. In order for these events to be successful, we need as many parents to help in the school and with special events as possible. Please sign up if you have not already.
I would like to give a big thank you to our Used Uniform Sales coordinator, Sissy Woods. She worked very hard during the summer to make the sale a big success of $950. Also, would like to thank all parents that donated to the sale.
The open house was a great success. Thank you parents that helped with set up and the volunteer chairpersons for making the volunteer fair a wonderful night. Also, the branding committee did an outstanding job with the opening pep rally. I look forward to a wonderful year. Together, we can make a difference. GO RAMS!
