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!

It's a lucky Monday Morning Magic on March 17! ☘️
3rd grade wins on time donuts - and well-deserved; it's been two weeks and they had the most entries!
Recap from our Read-A-Thon: 4th grade wins the most minutes read & most money raised - over $2000! Our Read-A-Thon raised over $7000 overall. Thanks to all our supporters!
Virtue Awards: Mrs. Rotondi recognized Bobby and Shawn for PRUDENCE, for stepping up to lead their groups in a group reading activity last week. And Mrs. Hall awarded the whole 4th grade for their FORTITUDE and wanting tor read their books during Read Across America week! 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! ☘️

Ash Wednesday Mass ✝️ Thank you 8th grade for your leadership of our school, and our whole church community!
"When you fast,
anoint your head and wash your face,
so that you may not appear to be fasting,
except to your Father who is hidden.
And your Father who sees what is hidden will repay you." Matthew 6:16-18

Monday Morning Magic March 3! Led by Mrs. Pearson today... It's the start of Read Across America Week. Reading gives us school spirit!
Virtue Awards: Ms. Weed honored Gavin with PRUDENCE for doing well to keep up with his work! And Mrs. Pearson awarded Layla for PRUDENCE for trying to keep everyone quiet during choir.
Saints Circles: It's Ash Wednesday this week. We're preparing for Prayer, Fasting, and Almsgiving. Our students came up with ways they can pray, fast, and care for the poor. There will now be a Rice Bowl at the Snack Shack and students may donate their change! We decorated footprints with our pledges, and we will make a pathway around the school with them.
And with that, we're off to another caring week!

#FBF to this year's #CatholicSchoolsWeek Academic Race! Led by our 8th graders, teams of mixed age groups worked together to answer some St. Peter Trivia questions as well as academic race. Teachers and 8th graders represented countries and each team had to have their passport "stamped" with a correct answer. First place teams got a dress down pass; 2nd place teams got a homework pass! Congrats to James, Mirra, Brannon, and Bianca for leading the winning teams! #SouthJerseyCatholicSchools
Congratulations to our 8th grade athletes! We celebrated their accomplishments with their families; speeches from 7th graders, and posters from younger team members. Thank you for all your encouragement and leadership throughout the years. We'll miss you next year!

Reporting from Monday Morning Magic February 24! We dedicated our morning prayers for the special intentions for the Holy Father and his good health ❤️ 6th grade wins the on time donuts drawing; and we're celebrating several weeks of birthdays!
Congratulations to our 8th grade basketball players and cheerleaders, who played their last home games last week. And good luck to our sophomore girls playing in the championship game Saturday!
Virtue Awards for the week: Mrs. Hall awarded the whole 4th grade for PRUDENCE, for working together to make their personal collages. And Mrs. Roseboro recognized Kayla in 1st grade, and Mrs. Tell awarded Victor in 6th grade with PRUDENCE; they both missed quite a few days of school and have been working hard to catch up! And Mrs. O'Callaghan honored Miss Marrazzo and Mrs. Tell for CHARITY, for helping prepare for the cheerleaders' 8th grade night, and also awarded CHARITY to Mrs. Roseboro for all her hard work coordinating both 8th grade nights!
Saints Circles: Mrs. O'Callaghan inspired us by reviewing Sunday's Gospel Reading: Love your enemies, do not judge, be compassionate (Luke 6:27-38). We created a chain of kindness to go around the school! Everyone wrote one act of kindness and we linked them all together.
And with that, we're off to the last week of February 2025! Have a great week, Saints!
