Saints Update 11/21/25

November 21, 2025 View this email in your browser

Parent Appreciation Week has escorted us smoothly into the start of Thanksgiving Break. Our gratitude for you is not contained to just these five school days in November; we are thankful for you all year long! We place a high value on teaching your students the regular practice of giving thanks and praise to our Lord Jesus Christ for blessing us with parents and guardians that care for us and show us love in wide-ranging ways. We hope you enjoyed the treat on Wednesday, some of the student projects, and the personalized postcards from your teachers. Here’s a fun video we crafted to close the week with some thoughts from your kids.
Have a blessed Thanksgiving with your friends and family.

~Principal Goffron

NOTES FROM THE SCHOOL OFFICE
We have felt the shift into cold and flu season. Please remember that the school policies outline that students must be 24 hours fever free (unmedicated) and 24 hours after the last vomit/diarrhea episode before they may return to school. If you seek professional medical care for your child for an illness, please provide a copy of the doctor’s “return to school” guidelines to the school office. We appreciate you helping us keep our classrooms healthy!

ENJOY A WELL-DESERVED NIGHT OUT — THERE’S STILL TIME TO SIGN UP!

Parents, you deserve a break! Whether you need an evening to shop, wrap gifts, or simply enjoy some quiet time, we’ve got you covered. Drop your kids off with our responsible 8th-grade students and their parents—we’ll keep them busy with games, movies, and supervised fun while you recharge.

Join us Sunday, December 7th from 3:00–6:00 PM in the St. Peter Gym (Bartz Hall Entrance). Open to children ages 3–12 who are potty-trained.

All proceeds support the 8th Grade Washington, D.C. Trip, helping our students experience history firsthand.
Suggested minimum offering: $45 per child.

Take a night out—you’ve earned it! And there’s still plenty of time to sign up.

🎄 SPIRIT WEAR JUST IN TIME FOR CHRISTMAS! 🎁
Our Spirit Wear Store is officially open! Place your order now and receive your items in time for Christmas. All orders will be shipped to St. Peter for pickup.

Shopping for a surprise? Email Mary Staehlin, and we’ll keep your items in the front office so they don’t go home with your student.

Click the link above to shop today! The store closes December 2—don’t miss it!

BOXTOPS FOR EDUCATION
With grocery shopping for Thanksgiving and for Christmas next month, we have lots of opportunities to earn money for St. Peter. Think Pillsbury biscuits, Chex mix, Cheerios, etc. - they all earn money. You can scan a receipt up to 2 weeks after the purchase to qualify. So pull out those receipts and keep track of the ones for the holidays and start scanning!

This school year has started off strong with our Box Tops program as we near $200 earned since the beginning of the school year! We have new people signing up to participate nearly every month, so the program is growing. Of course, the more the merrier, so if you haven't already done so, please help St. Peter and enroll in this very worthwhile program. It costs you nothing, but based on what you purchase for your family, you can earn money for St. Peter. Download the Box Tops for Education app, being sure to include our unique Referral Code of RKJ22BC8 when prompted to generate a bonus for the school. Then scan all of your receipts and the app will determine if you have purchased a participating product.

LUNCH ORDERS!
