Extra-Curricular Activities
Along with excellent academic programs which focus on the basics, St. Peter School offers students many unique opportunities to gain experience in leadership, public speaking, music, athletics, and creative academic learning.
Leadership/service projects/public speaking
Mass participation and
planning - Because of regular opportunities to read in church, speaking
before others becomes "second nature" for many
children. They may work together as a class to plan parts of a special Mass.
The first grade prepares for and takes part in their first planned mass in
February. the second grade plans and participates in the All Saints Day
Mass, and the fifth grade plans their graduation Mass. Children in the 3rd
through 5th grades may also become mass servers for the weekly all-school
Mass.
Student Council - This active group meets during the lunch hour and
plans activities that promote school spirit and a spirit of service to
others. They
have planned school spirit days, including "Red/White/Blue Day" and "Green
Bay Packers Day". Their service projects have included organizing a
contribution to the Afghan Children's Fund, The Teddy Bear Drive, and the
Giving Tree-all to benefit those less fortunate than us.
All-school service projects -
In preparation for Christmas, the children get together in their
classrooms to organize and manage small-scale treat
sales and raffles to raise money for the school's "adopted family". They may
also choose to save their pennies for the Holy Childhood Association
during the Easter season and may participate in a "Mathathon" to benefit St.
Jude's hospital.
5th Grade - Through the Kindergarten buddy system, helping with younger children on the playground and during all-school activities, 5th graders build leadership skills, and show compassion for younger children.
Announcements/Prayer -
As each school day ends, announcements and a closing prayer are read
over the intercom system. Children enjoy taking
turns with this responsibility.
