Next week is…drumroll, please….PARENT APPRECIATION WEEK! “Wait, what?” you say? Don’t you mean Teacher Appreciation Week? Nope! Here at St. Peter in addition to teacher appreciation week in February, we also take a week to acknowledge how much you as parents contribute to your child’s education. We know you are tirelessly assisting your kids with homework, constantly driving them to and from all their activities, and continually giving them every ounce of love and support that they need to survive. We see you and the great work you are doing in your children’s lives! So take a few minutes on Wednesday morning to catch a cup of coffee at the circle drive or Bartz Hall and snatch a grab-and-go treat as well! Additionally on Wednesday, we will be having a “Dress like your Parent” spirit day. Post your side by side pic with your kid on the St. Peter Family Facebook page or tag Stpeterah on Instagram, and be entered to win a special St. Peter prize! Finally, be on the lookout for special art projects and notes from your teachers! Thanks for choosing St. Peter!
