The annual St. Peter’s Walk-A-Thon is a favorite year-end event for the students. There are variety of activities that are both fun and engaging for students. Besides their walk, students are able to Participate in outdoor activities like the water balloon fight as well as spin art, face paint, dancing, and temporary tattoos, just to name a few.
Preparing for the May Crowning procession each spring at St. Mary, Mother of Jesus church is a monumental and joyful task. “Immaculate Mary” was sung as the 2nd Grade class of Saint Peter’s processed in to crown Mary. Each student brought a flower to place at Mary’s feet. May Crowning marks a new spiritual season.
Directed by Mrs. Redden the Kindergarten prepared a song to sing at the May Crowning.
The month of May is dedicated to the Blessed Mother and is celebrated with the crowning of Mary with a floral crown by the 2nd Grade.
