Virtue awards: Mrs. Tell honored Camila for PRUDENCE, for being new to the school but jumping right in, getting involved in school activities and getting all her work done! Miss Campanell awarded Isabella and Alejandra for CHARITY for helping coach and cheer on their classmates at Saturday’s track meet.
Saints Circles: Mrs. Melchiorre from the SPS PTA came to visit, to talk about the Race for Education, and how important it is to fundraise for our school. Who is the one teacher we will have all our lives? Jesus! We here at St. Peter are so lucky to have Jesus as our teacher, to have a community that cares about our success, and our greater goal to serve God! Students in their circles talked about their favorite Bible Story, and a few groups were called upon to act them out! (We have David and Goliath, and Jesus feeding the 5,000 pictured :)
This year's Race for Education is May 23. Thank you to all our family and friends for their support! And now it's time for a blessed, and grateful, Holy Week. Let's Go Saints!

St. Peter Students praying the #StationsOfTheCross during Lent. ✝️ #SouthJerseyCatholicSchools
St. Peter Students had a wonderful virtual pilgrimage to Lourdes last week! With an interactive video, a portion of the rock from the Lourdes grotto, and holy water from the healing Lourdes spring, our students were treated to a wonderful Virtual experience. Preschoolers held up their candles to Mother Mary, elementary students learned about St. Bernadette and the appearance of Our Lady at Lourdes, and middle school students learned the story as well as the miracles of the water from the Spring, and then processed around the church and school grounds saying the Rosary.
Many thanks to Pam from Lourdes Virtual Volunteers for providing this special experience for our students!

And Mrs. Marisi overheard Casio encouraging a student who said "I can't do this." Casio said, " You can't do this YET." Mrs. Marisi gave Casio an award for his CHARITY towards another student!
Saints Circles: We all know the popular story that St. Peter got all the snakes out of Ireland. But did you know he wasn't born there? St. Peter was enslaved when he was young, and taken to Ireland. After he was freed, he became a priest, and went back to Ireland to preach the Gospel and convert souls after he had been enslaved there. What are some acts of kindness we can do in honor of St. Patrick returning to help the people of Ireland?
- Feeding the homeless
- Being kind to others
- Helping our parents around the house
- Sharing toys with my siblings
- Praying for our classmates
- Helping our classmates with homework
- Giving compliments!
And may the luck of the Irish be with us today! Happy #SaintPatricksDay, Saints! ☘️
