A sincere thank you to all those who chaired an event,volunteered, and participated in the St Peter School 2019 Festival. We started the festival with our 5K Friday night, which had a great field of student and adult runners. We were overwhelmed with the support and volunteers who helped us that night. Saturday was also a successful day, with a great attendance and some new children’s events that were a success. We work hard to have events of various interests and think that our new additions this year allowed all ages to participate. Thanks to our sumo wrestlers, Nelson Kinley, Brock England, Keith Adams, Aaron Leightey, Marc Mays, Rep Riordan McClain, and of course our new principal who took them all on, Mr Blake England. Also, a very special thank you to Father Tony for his leadership the past two years and for allowing us to add a daily Mass to celebrate with our students. Thanks to Ardyn North, Joey Smith, Wil Leightey, Giovanna Arnold, Reese Stringfellow, Jack Niederkor, Liam North, Ellen North, Nora Leightey, Cohen England, Ellanore Parsell, Kendall England, Jamie Stringfellow, Vivian Arnold, Audrey Leightey, Reese Leightey, Landon Parsell, Oliver Stringfellow, and Ellianna Arnold for volunteering to help us lead the mass. You all did wonderful and represented the school well. A final thank you to Mr.Orians and Ms. Wetherell who literally worked around the clock setting up and cleaning up. We could not have welcomed our guests safely without the support they gave us. Congratulations to all the raffle winners. We are so blessed to have a community of support for our school mission and thank all who partake in the fellowship and festival activities. Have a safe and happy summer.

Over the summer we will be updating the computer lab with 15 new laptops, we have purchased 25 new I-pads, an updated math series and a new religion series.

Our last day of class for the RE students was May 1st. Thank you to all the volunteer Catechists. Without your dedication and hard work we would not be able to provide the wonderful RE program that we have. Thank you to all parents/grandparents who have made this a priority in the lives of their loved ones. And thank you to the students for your dedication and eagerness to learn and be faithful. May you have a safe and blessed summer vacation.
