- Led by the Light of Hope…to a New School Year August 1, 2024
As we prepare to open our doors to a new school year, I am grateful and excited to welcome our new and returning families. This year, our theme is “Led by the Light of Hope.” which was inspired by the recent declaration by Pope Francis that the year 2025 will be a Jubilee Year with the theme “We are Pilgrims of Hope.”
In our prayers, liturgies, and classrooms, we will be guided by the belief that Christ is the true light of the world and that His love provides us with hope, inspiration, and a clear path forward during even the most challenging times. Being “led by the light of hope” means that our decisions, actions, and interactions are guided by hope and faith, which helps ...Read more - Congratulations Mrs. Grosholz August 1, 2024
This year will be Mrs. Carlye Grosholz’s 25th year of teaching at St. Peter School! She began teaching here in 2000, and hundreds of students have been blessed to have Mrs. Grosholz as their second-grade teacher. She also lovingly prepares students each year for their First Holy Communion and First Reconciliation, teaching students about these beautiful sources of grace and love in our faith lives. Students will lovingly remember their “Flat Stanley” projects, sewing felt tooth pillows and learning cursive for the first time in Mrs. Grosholz’s classroom. And everyone knows how much she loves Snoopy and the Peanuts gang! Mrs. Grosholz and her husband, Scott, have raised two daughters, Abby and Sydney, who graduated from St. Peter School and Somerset High School and are ...Read more - Rock’n Readers Continue Streak & Penny Greene Award Established August 1, 2024

The hard work and support of our PTA bless St. Peter School each year. Through their fundraising efforts, the school has been able to implement several improvements this summer that directly affect the safety and security of our school, as well as foster continued faith development and expansion of marketing efforts. Beginning in July, the school began Phase 1 of our plan to expand and improve our security cameras, software, and phone system. This involved updating the cameras on the school’s front door and adding a buzzer/camera system for the Annex entrance. This involved extensive wiring and electrical work. Phases 2 and 3 will involve a new “latch” system for the front doors to replace the current magnet system in use, as well as a ...Read more - Congratulations to St. Peter School 6th Grade!
