Fellow Parishioners, We hope everyone enjoyed the Wyandot County Fair this year. It was great to see how hard our students have worked outside the classroom with fair projects and showing animals. Great job all around. ● Last Wednesday, we observed a moment of silence to honor the victims of 9/11 at our Patriot Day liturgy service. The staff, students, and a few parishioners gathered around the flagpole at the rectory and received a special message and blessing from Father Conrad. ● Congratulations to our first “For the Love of Pete” winners. Our $1,000 winner was Steve Reinschell; $500 winner was Joe Aubry; $250 winner was Charles Nique. Tickets are still available so contact the school office if you would like to purchase a ticket for next month’s drawing which will take place on October 9th. ● Our St. Peter School Discount Card sale is ongoing. The cards are $10.00 each and are good for one year. Please see a St. Peter School student or staff member to buy one. ● We are continuing to collect Box Tops for Education. Each box top earns ten cents for the school. Ask your friends and neighbors to save them for us. They can be sent to school any me during the year. ● The Scholastic Book Fair will be the week of October 7th. We are looking for anyone who is willing to volunteer to work the book fair. Please let us know if you would be willing to help us out. ● We are nearing the end of our fall MAP testing season. The kids have performed really well and were rock stars throughout the process. We still have Kindergarten and 1st grade to test but I’m positive they will “knock it out of the park”. ● The St. Peter Leadership Academy had their first-class session on Tuesday. Twenty 5th and 6th graders attended. Rep. Riordan McClain will be visiting the school on Sept. 23rd at noon to eat lunch with the kids and speak to the school about leadership and faith. All are welcome to attend this event. ● 6th grade volleyball team will be in ac on this Saturday, Sept. 28th at Tiffin St. Joseph. Good Luck Lady Colts! The staff and students at St. Peter School thank you all again for your continued prayers and support. We cannot emphasize enough how proud we are of our community and of the family atmosphere we have here at school. May God continue to bless all of you. Mr. Blake England Principal
