Dear St. Peter School Families,
I hope you and your family are enjoying a wonderful and relaxing summer! Although school is several weeks away, there has been a great deal happening at St. Peter as we prepare for another exciting school year.
We are pleased to share that all teaching positions have been filled with the exception of our Third Grade position. We continue to actively interview candidates and are confident God will provide the right teacher to join our school family.
We are also excited to welcome many new faces to our faculty this year. Several of our Preschool, Kindergarten, First-Grade, Second-Grade, and Third-Grade teachers attended the UFLI Foundations Reading Training in June as we prepare to implement a new, evidence-based reading program. This initiative will strengthen literacy instruction and provide our students with an even stronger foundation in reading.
As many of you have heard, our Diocesan Superintendent, Dr. Erin Vader, has accepted a new position and has resigned from her role with the Diocese of Jefferson City. We are grateful for her years of service and wish her God's blessings in her new endeavor. The Diocese will have an interim superintendent serving during the upcoming school year while the search for a new superintendent is conducted.
The parish and school budgets were finalized this past month, allowing us to continue planning for another successful year of Catholic education. We remain committed to providing an outstanding academic program rooted in our Catholic faith.
This past week, the parish office mailed stewardship letters to all St. Peter parishioners. I encourage you to carefully review your letter. Stewardship through prayer, service, and financial support is essential to the vitality of both our parish and our school. Your commitment allows us to continue our mission of forming students academically, spiritually, and morally while keeping Catholic education strong for future generations.
Thank you for your continued support, generosity, and prayers. We are looking forward to welcoming everyone back soon for another wonderful year at St. Peter Catholic School.
May God continue to bless you and your family throughout the remainder of your summer.
Blessings,
Dr. Gayle Trachsel
Principal
St. Peter Catholic School
