NEWS AND NOTES
ST. PETER'S LUTHERAN SCHOOL - NEW BEGINNINGS & BLESSED TRADITIONS
With
joy and excitement, and with great thanksgiving to God, St. Peter's
Lutheran School begins another year of sharing the
Gospel of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, to the children and
families of our congregation and community.
There
is no better school for a child to attend than a Lutheran School - a
school that is filled with God’s grace, mercy,
and love, and shared by caring, dedicated, Christ-centered teachers and
staff.
School begins on Monday, August 30. We will have an opening
worship
service beginning at 11:00 am, and school will close following that
service, at approximately 11:45am. Everyone is invited to attend that
service as we thank God for another year of His grace and
blessing.
MISSION STATEMENT
The
difference is clear. Public and charter schools cannot offer
your child a Christ-centered education. When Biblical values are at the
core of the curriculum and are modeled by certified, dedicated Lutheran
teachers, there is a measurable impact on the
spiritual, academic, social, and esthetic areas of each child.
The Mission of St. Peter's Lutheran Church and School to touch the
hearts
and lives of people through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus
Christ.
WHAT'S NEW IN 2010/2011?
- Math - Although we are continuing with the same publisher, we have new textbooks in this area.
- Confirmation instruction will be increased with our pastors teaching in 6th, 7th, and 8th grade. Both 7th and 8th grade students will be confirmed this year.
- Upgraded technology program as we continue to add new equipment and software.

First Burger King Night - September 21st - See You There!
"LET'S GET SMART" FUNDRAISER
This year we will complete our plan to go "High Tech" in all of our classrooms with the purchase of Mimio Board Technology. Last year, we were able to put Mimio in grades 8,7,2, and 1. Ask those teachers or students how mimio added to daily instruction. Mimio products make it easy to create and present engaging lessons in the classroom by turning standard whiteboards into fully interactive ones. We plan to fund this project through a Walk-a Thon which will take place on Friday, October 8th. Students will take pledges from family and friends for their walking and all the money raised will go to the purchase of Mimio Technology for the classrooms. This fundraiser will take the place of the Morley Candy Sale. More details to follow.
FAST DIRECT SYSTEM
We are excited to have the Fast Direct School Management system. This is a powerful, web-based system that gives parents the ability to access a wealth of information about your children, your financial record, assignments, and much more through the internet. Sign up is quick and easy - contact the school office if you need assistance
LABOR DAY - NO SCHOOL ON FRIDAY OR MONDAY, 9/3-9/6
