Saint Peter School - PreK-8th Grade Elementary | Established 1927

Monday Morning Magic January 12, 2026! We started with announcements: Saints of Service will be making sandwiches for Cathedral Kitchen this week -- grades SIX, SEVEN this week (Oh, okay FINE, Mrs. O let them all say it 🙄🤷🏽‍♀️) Next week the whole school will be participating in a service project to honor Martin Luther King, Jr.! Virtue Awards: Mrs. Roseboro recognized Leah M in first grade for PRUDENCE - asking to finish her work before starting playtime. And Miss M honored Jackson for his FAITH for saying the Lord’s Prayer loudly and proudly at Mass this week. Saints Circles: Jesus was a Priest, Prophet and King for all people. How can we act as priests, prophets and kings in our lives? Priests bring people close to God. How can we bring others closest to God? - Invite others to church with you - Praying with others - Love people even if they aren’t always nice to you - Following along with Mass - Never be afraid to talk about Jesus! Prophets speak God’s truth and speak it boldly! How can we speak up for God in the face of so much in our world working against him? - Singing in church! - Encouraging people to pray more - Being responsible and doing what is expected of you Kings serve and lead others. How can we do the same? - Small acts of kindness - Talking to people you don’t know - Helping people they don’t know - Including others in games and conversations And with that we're off to another great week, Saints! #SouthJerseyCatholicSchools #Virtues

St. Peter students had a great surprise this week--a visit with Shevin McCullough from Studio 3:16! Studio 3:16 is the religion program for grades 4, 5, and 6--even our 8th graders were so excited to meet the "silly guy" from their elementary school Religion videos! Studio 3:16 lessons focus on a video centered on a Catholic teaching, followed by discussion, prayer, and challenges from the Gospels for students to take into their own lives. Beginning in January, St. Peter will be participating in a pilot program for families with Studio 3:16--so be on the lookout for some take home challenges! Shevin greeted students after school on Monday, then came back for a quick assembly and Q&A with students. He signed lots of autographs and students were thrilled to get high fives and selfies! #SouthJerseyCatholicSchools #DiscoverCatholocSchoolsWeek

St. Peter Rising Stars Present: Matilda, Jr! Enjoy these rehearsal photos...and join us this weekend for the full play! Matilda has astonishing wit, intelligence... and special powers! She's unloved by her cruel parents but impresses her schoolteacher, the highly loveable Miss Honey. Matilda's school life isn't completely smooth sailing, however – the school's mean headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, hates children and just loves thinking up new punishments for those who don't abide by her rules. But Matilda has courage and cleverness in equal amounts, and could be the school pupils' saving grace! St. Peter Rising Stars is the performing arts program for grades 3-5 at St. Peter School. Directed by Mrs. Sarah Duvall Pearson Thursday, November 20, 7 PM Friday, November 21, 7 PM Saturday, November 22, 1 PM Tickets available here: https://forms.diamondmindinc.com/stpeterschool/matilda-tickets-2025 Tickets also available at the door; cash-only.
