"Inspiring students to love God, their Catholic faith and learning"
 

Thank you to the Morrow Family of Rhymers Ridge for the beautiful fall decorations!

Visit on Mondays for 20% off.

From the Office

Please have your child(ren) check the Lost & Found. There is a shelf located in the hallway outside of the cafeteria/ASC desk and a blue cabinet across the hallway from the 4th grade classrooms. Be sure to label your items including water bottles, fleeces, and crewnecks.

This year the Art Classroom is inviting families to participate in Artsonia. This is a free, private, parent/teacher controlled Online Art Portfolio for students. Artsonia makes our Art program accessible to our St. Peter Catholic School community through sharing Artwork digitally. Please be on the lookout for an email from Ms. Thurman inviting you to connect with your students' Art portfolio once their first project is uploaded. 

Monday, October 3rd- Thursday, October 6th all students are allowed to wear Spirit Wear with uniform bottoms. Friday, October 7th will be a dress down day for all in celebration of completing testing week! Please avoid scheduling appointments during testing week.

Flu Shot Reminder: Friday, October 14th!

Those who chose to sign their child(ren) up for the Cole County Flu Clinic will receive their flu vaccine on Friday, October 14. Please be sure to use age appropriate reminders and be honest with your child(ren) about what to expect when receiving a shot.

If you missed the opportunity to get your child(ren) signed up, flu vaccines are offered at doctor's offices, pharmacies, or the health department. The first and most important step in preventing flu is to get a flu vaccine each year!


Athletics

Athletic registration deadline for Basketball, Archery, and Cheer is October 3rd. Please make sure to register your child(ren) if they wish to participate in any of these St. Peter activities. Please make sure your child has a current physical on file.

Honor Flight Spirit Wear

The Central Missouri Honor Flight is a non-profit organization created solely to honor America’s veterans for all of their sacrifices. The group transports our heroes from throughout Central Missouri to Washington D.C., to visit and reflect at their memorials at no cost to them. The Central Missouri Honor Flight is funded by donations from individuals, organizations and businesses. 

St. Peter Catholic School will be raising funds to help send veterans on the next Honor Flight with the purchase of a special spirit wear shirt. A portion of each shirt sold will be donated to the Central Missouri Honor Flight on Veterans Day. This spirit wear shirt is not just for St. Peter Catholic School families; please feel free to share the link with friends and family. The order deadline is October 21st in hopes that shirts will be available to wear for Veterans Day, November 11th.

Scrip/Fundraising

Scrip News:

Remember to have all orders in by 10:30 AM on Mondays to insure delivery for the week. Any orders received after that time will be filled if I have them in stock. If I have to order any items, it may be the next Monday before I order again. 


Save-A-Lot cards will be available first come, first served. Since they are closing, I will not be re-ordering cards for them. If you do need some, I have some in stock that I would love for them to be used.

 

Sub Shop has closed temporarily, so I will not be reordering cards until they re-open.
