Saints Update 9/11/26

September 11, 2026 View this email in your browser

We’ve accomplished something really impressive at St. Peter over the last two days...a number of you played a critical role in that accomplishment. Are you ready? We ate 29 dozen donuts by the completion of Friday’s Mornings with Mom event. That’s 348 donuts! Moms, grandmas, aunties, I hope you enjoyed the breakfast time with your special Saints and their classmates. We enjoyed hosting you and pray you found some natural opportunities to connect with new and familiar faces. Dads, don’t worry! Your turn is coming up in October…speaking of dads, I’d like to send a shout out to the 12 dads that assisted our lead volunteers to ensure the events ran smoothly and the moms had an unhurried opportunity to enjoy their morning. Take some time to appreciate the photo collage below.

Enjoy your weekend!
~Mr. Goffron

YOUR VOICE MATTERS AT ST. PETER!
At St. Peter, we’re always looking for ways to make our school an even better place for our students and families. Your perspective as a parent is an important part of that process. That’s why we’ve partnered with ParentPulse, a company that specializes in gathering meaningful feedback from school families. Every few months, parents will receive a short survey by email or text. Surveys will be staggered, so families may receive invitations at different times throughout the year. We ask that you take a few moments to share your thoughts and experiences. By gathering feedback through shorter surveys at multiple points during the year, we can better understand what’s working, where we can improve, and how the needs of our families are evolving. Please keep an eye out for a message from ParentPulse. The subject line will clearly identify St. Peter. The information you provide will be collected solely for St. Peter’s analysis. ParentPulse will not use or share your personal contact information. Thank you for taking the time to share your voice and for partnering with us in your student’s education!
