Saints Update 3/20/26

March 20, 2026 View this email in your browser

This last Wednesday I had the opportunity to welcome our incoming Kindergarteners with a “college sports style” signing event. We are blessed to have 40 incoming students for our 26-27 Kindergarten class and are looking forward to a wonderful year ahead. Who knows, in 8 years or so, these Kindergarteners might be the middle school students who are heading off to the National Basketball Tournament like our current middle school girls. We are so proud of their hard work and dedication to the sport and cheered them on with a send off today complete with a police escort! Congratulations to our students who are just starting off as well as those who are quickly coming to the end of their St. Peter years!
