From the Principal
Greetings to one and all!
The first quarter of this school year ended on Friday, October 24. During this time we have many accomplishments to remember!
First of all, what a wonderful celebration of the 50th Anniversary of our school on Tuesday, September 2! The cake was incredible to look at and even better to eat! And how interesting it was to view the photos of the past five decades and even meet some of the first students, teachers, and principals that served our school! A great time was definitely had by all!
Our athletic accomplishments in October have certainly been memorable! Both of our Cross Country Teams qualified for the State Meet in Bloomington-Normal by each placing third at the Sectional Meet! And then they both followed up by placing first in the Conference Meet! Not to be outdone was our volleyball team! These girls placed first in the Diocesan Competition for Division III.
Recently, St. Peter School received the results of this year’s Iowa Tests of Basic Skills. I am so pleased to announce that in grades 2-8 we placed in the top 15% on National School Norms at each of these grade levels! In fact, the average percentile rank of our eighth grade on the National School Norms was 98%. Unbelievable! At parent/teacher conferences on November 24 and 25, you will be receiving a copy of your child’s Iowa test scores.
Finally, how did we do where it counts, in the eyes of Jesus? I like to think that we excelled in this area, as well. Not only did we contribute the proceeds of our “dress-down” days to the Navajo Missions and the Geneva Red Cross, but the “spare change” collection during Spirit Week netted $3893.20 for children with cleft palates. The “Smile Train” is chugging along with our help!
In conclusion, we are only 25% finished with the school year, but if first quarter is any indication, it’s going to be a GREAT year at St. Peter Catholic School. Keep up the good work!
Mrs. Roseann Feldmann, Principal
