A little bit about myself: I am married to my husband, Lynn.  We have three children, Ryan, Tim, and Caitlin, who all attended St. Peter School and Helias.   With kids living in different states, my favorite hobby is traveling to visit them.  I also enjoy spending time with my friends and coworkers outside of school.

I love teaching at St. Peter School because it allows me to share my love of Math and Science with my students.  I want Math and Science to not only be fun for the students but also for them to see how both impact their everyday lives. 

Please consider supporting Boxes of Joy this Christmas Season! Box of Joy gifts are Christmas gifts sent to children in developing countries like Haiti, Malawi, and the Dominican Republic. These gifts represent Christ's love and are filled with toys, clothing, school supplies, a rosary,

and The Story of Jesus.

Your donation will demonstrate Christ’s compassion to a child who may have never before received a Christmas gift.

Please have all donations turned in by Nov. 11th. 

Thank you!

Holy Moment Prompts

Holy Moments

Holy Moments Created Last Week by St. Peter Families and Students:



***One Family's Holy Moment this month was kids taking care of their grandparents' house while they were on a trip.****

WWJD?? He would create a Holy Moment!! Jesus would create Holy Moments through love, forgiveness, prayer, blessings, caring for the sick, feeding the hungry, seeking God, fleeing from temptation, reading the Bible, and going to Church.

What is a Holy Moment? A Holy Moment is a single moment in which you open yourself to God. You make yourself available to Him. You set aside personal preference and self-interest, and for one moment you do what you prayerfully believe God is calling you to do.

How can families participate?  

1. Parents and guardians, talk to your children about Holy Moments and why you think that Holy Moments are important.
2. Brainstorm and write down as many ideas for Holy Moments as you can think of to do as a family or individuals at school or work.
3. Try your best to perform a Holy Moment everyday.
4. Talk about your Holy Moment as a family.
5. Share your individual or family Holy Moments with Mrs. Garner through email: sgarner@stpeterjc.org.
6. Holy Moments shared with Mrs. Garner will be posted in the School Newsletter. This can be anonymous if the family/student chooses.
7. Those families/students who share their Holy Moments will receive a choice item from the Holy Moments treasure box that includes small fun items/snacks.  
8. Each month a family will be drawn who submitted a Holy Moment and that family will receive a $25 script card of their choice.

Final week special price! See the registration link for details!
