Highlights from the Principal Chats - Part 1

I thank everyone who was able to attend the Principal Chat last night. I am aware of parents who wanted to attend but were unable. Over the course of the next few weeks I will be sharing some of the information presented at the Principal Chat. I am also willing to share the presentation with anyone interested. Just contact me for a “private” viewing. You do not need to wait for the next Principal Chat to share your comments. The teachers, The Board of Christian Education and I welcome the opportunity to hear both your joys and concerns at any time.

Goals/Strategic Plan 2018-2019 - #1 and #2 There are a total of 5 goals for the school year. Here are the first two. The others will be shared in future Tiger Prints.

I am very interested in any ideas you have on how to reach these

goals. What is your prefered way to receive information? Handouts sent home, Email, Fast Direct, Facebook, others? Crustable: The lunch program offers a Peanut Butter & Jelly Crustable to students who prefer a different choice from the main entree. We assume this is acceptable to you as the parents. Please send a signed note with the name and grade of your child stating your desire and we will not offer that option to your child.

LEGOS Club

Our first meeting was held on September 13. A total of 35 students attended. Space is being created in the trophy area to display some of the projects being created.

Ministry in Motions are examples of students and staff putting their faith into "motion." Ministry in Motions will not show up on a test score, but they are at the core of what St. Peter's ministry is all about. I share these as examples of how Christ's light is shining at St. Peter's. To God be the glory!

A former student email to say how much he appreciated his teachers and what

he learned while at St. Peter’s.
