"Inspiring students to love God, their Catholic faith and learning"
From the Office
We have made changes to our website. Please use this link: St. Peter JC to access our webpage for the future. We will no longer use the St. Peter Interparish google site. Please save this link in your browser.
We are in need of reams of paper to make it through the rest of the school year. Please consider donating some! You may bring them directly to the school office. Thank you in advance!!
Wednesday was Sketch Day for the Jefferson City Diocese. St Peter had 8 students compete in two different categories. They were graphite pencil and oil pastel. The students spent 3.5 hours creating their artwork while enjoying the beautiful Capital grounds and Missouri sunshine. 
Congratulations to all who participated, and to Nik Hull who received 2nd place for his oil pastel artwork. 
Check out below for photos of our day!

Grandfather Clock
ONLY 10 DAYS LEFT BEFORE THIS ONE OF A KIND CLOCK IS GONE! GET YOUR RAFFLE TICKETS INTO THE SCHOOL OFFICE ASAP!

This beautiful Grandfather Clock was handmade by Fred Lueckenhoff. He donated this clock, and a few others, to St. Peter Big Bucks several years ago. Larry Herzing won this particular clock during a Big Bucks Live Auction and has since donated it to St. Peter Catholic School. The clock workings are from Germany and there is a brass engraved name tag on the inside with Fred's name on it. Mr. Lueckenhoff's time and talents have always been a real treasure to St. Peter!
To help raise money for our St. Peter Scholarship fund, we are raffling off this gem! The St. Peter Scholarship fund helps to pay school fees for our families that can not afford it on their own. Raffle tickets are $2 each or 6 for $10. You can print those from here and turn them into the school office with your payment. The drawing will be held on May 9, 2022. If you would like to see the clock in person, it is located just outside of the school office. Please help support this cause and take home this breathtaking piece of craftsmanship!

Spring Band Concert
The Spring Band Concert is May 2, at 7:00 PM at the Miller Performing Arts Center. Come support your classmates in the their performance!
Welcome To Our New 5th Grade Teacher!
Hello, my name is Alyssa Moore. I am recently married and have been a part of St. Peter’s church my whole life. I grew up on the outskirts of Jefferson City with my parents and three siblings. I have an older brother and two younger sisters. I went to Cole R-V in Eugene for elementary and high school. From there, I attended school at State Fair Community College in Sedalia, graduated with my Associates degree and moved on to the University of Central Missouri or UCM for my Bachelors in Elementary education. This will be my second year teaching at a Catholic school and as a fifth grade teacher. I am so excited to be able to work at St. Peter. It has been a dream to work here since I knew I wanted to be a teacher. I am very blessed to be able to start this new chapter in my life with the St. Peter’s community.
