We have an opening for an advertiser in the school newsletter starting December 1st and lasting through the month of March. Please contact Carrie (chayes@stpeterjc.org) if you are interested. This is a great and inexpensive way to advertise and support your school.

Scrip News

The last day to order script is going to be December 8. I will try to fill some orders on the 15th, but I will probably not be able to order from Raise right, so it will only be what I have in stock. So make sure you order all of your Christmas gift cards next week.

Also, don’t forget we have generic certificates available if you want a gift for your teacher that way they can order what they will really use.

Don’t forget all fundraiser items from Fall Gifts and Cookie Dough and The World‘s Finest Chocolate all need to be picked up in Selinger Center on Tuesday, the 9th, early out day.

After School Care

Our Aftercare Christmas party for K-8 will be Wednesday, December 17th. Mr. and Mrs. Claus will be here from 3:30-4:30. Please keep in mind when picking up that day, that we'll go in to see them by classes- youngest first. So if you have a child in 4th or above, their opportunity will be closer to 4:30.  Lots of games planned, including our ever-popular Scavenger Hunt for junior high. 

Remember to check the lost and found shelf when you come in to pick up. It will all be moved upstairs soon. 

If you need to reach ASC, please email, Betsy Bartow at bbartow@stpeterjc.org or call (573) 636-8922 ext.129.
