Friday Note                   May 13, 2022

Y-You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.  This is the great and first commandment.  And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as your self.  Matthew 22:37-39

Great News! The office buzzer system is up and running again!  Belinda can open the door from the church office.  You do not need to call to get your child picked up or dropped off.  Please press the buzzer (at the office door) firmly, and you will be able to gain entry into the school office.  Please sign your child in or out on the green paper on the clip board in the office, and someone will greet you and send your child to class or bring your child to you to leave. Please remain in the office until someone comes in to greet you.  Please do not enter the hallway!

Messages: During the school day our teachers are focused on teaching students! That means they do not have time to check texts or e-mails. If you need to get a message to a teacher, please send that message in a note with your child and have your child deliver the note to their teacher. In emergency cases, call the office and leave a message with Mrs. Harpster. She will deliver the messages at the end of the day.

Great News! The office buzzer system is up and running again!  Belinda can open the door from the church office.  You do not need to call to get your child picked up or dropped off.  Please press the buzzer (at the office door) firmly, and you will be able to gain entry into the school office.  Please sign your child in or out on the green paper on the clip board in the office, and someone will greet you and send your child to class or bring your child to you to leave. Please remain in the office until someone comes in to greet you.  Please do not enter the hallway!

Messages: During the school day our teachers are focused on teaching students! That means they do not have time to check texts or e-mails. If you need to get a message to a teacher, please send that message in a note with your child and have your child deliver the note to their teacher. In emergency cases, call the office and leave a message with Mrs. Harpster. She will deliver the messages at the end of the day.

R-Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice.  Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplications with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.  And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.  Philippians 4:4, 6-7

Please remain in the office until someone comes in to greet you. 
Please do not enter the hallway!

Fun Fair!  A great time was had and valuable funds
were raised to help the PTL with their ongoing
support projects for our school.  Between the money
that has been donated in the box at church, and the
money from the Fun Fair, we were a little over
$20000 towards our goal for new textbooks!
Praise the Lord!  Of course, we are still working
towards our goal, so we ask the Lord to continue
blessing our efforts.  Thank you for your support!

their time and dedication.  Also, thank you to the

 Yearbook Order Forms for the 2022 yearbooks have been sent home.  The deadline for ordering yearbooks is March 7.  Extra forms are available in the school office.  Yearbooks are $12.00 each, and checks need to be made payable to Children’s Fund.
 
Ash Wednesday: Wednesday, March 2 is Ash Wednesday, the beginning of the season of Lent.  One tradition many Christians observe is receiving an ash cross on Ash Wednesday.
You are dust, and to dust you shall return.
                                                --Genesis 3:19b
     In the Bible, ashes are a sign of repentance and sorrow (Esther 4:1, 3; Job 42:6, Daniel 9:3; Johan 3:6; Matthew 11:21). The day “Ash Wednesday” gets its name from ancient Christian custom of putting ashes on the foreheads of worshippers to symbolize sorrow over sin and repentance.
     Imposition of ashes is both a sign of our mortality and as a sign of our repentance.  The traditional words, “Remember, you are dust, and to dust you shall return” paraphrases the words of God in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3:19).  By receiving the ashes we acknowledge that God’s judgment against our sin is right and just.  However, the ashes are also made in the sign of the cross where Jesus suffered that same judgement for our sin, in our place.  The cross of ashes reminds us that we are sinners and that Jesus died for us sinners.
     Later in the day, when we wash the ashes off of our foreheads, we remember how Jesus washed us in our Baptisms, cleansing us from sin and making us His own.  We are forgiven.
     Any student who wishes to receive ashes on their forehead may do so during chapel on Ash Wednesday, March 2.  Receiving ashes is not required.  Any student that does not wish to receive ashes does not have to do so.

Illinois state guidelines state that we can go outside for recess anytime the wind chill is 20 degrees or above. While we may not go outside on every day the law allows, the fresh air helps to keep germs at bay and strengthens kid’s lungs and hearts. Additionally, sunshine helps in the production of vitamin D. Please make sure that your child has sufficient warm weather attire, including jackets or coats, hats, gloves or mittens, and appropriate footwear.

M-Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the earth!  Serve the LORD with gladness!  Come into his presence with singing!  Know that the LORD, he is God!  It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.  Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise!  Give thanks to him; bless his name!  For the LORD is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations.  Psalm 100
Beginning January 10 and continuing until January 28, we will be conducting a food drive for the Farina Food Pantry.  Our goal is for each classroom to bring in at least 150 items.  Please have your child bring their items to their teacher for counting before placing them in the collection shopping carts.

As has been publicized, the 150th School Anniversary Committee is planning a commemorative cookbook.  The deadline for recipes is January 31st.  Recipe forms are available in the church narthex and the offices of the church and school. The form is also available on the school website. They may be turned in at the church or school office, or email them to Beth Reynolds at preynolds@frontiernet.net.  A note of clarification: You do not need to have attended SPLS in order to submit recipes.  You are asked to fill in the last year of attendance only if you did attend SPLS.  Wouldn’t it be great if every current SPLS and Little Saints Preschool family would turn in a recipe?

​Dear SPLS Parents,
This year’s funfair has been rescheduled.  As you know, this is our biggest fundraiser with a yearend goal of $40,000 to purchase new textbooks at each grade level.
new date: Saturday February 26th.  Games start 3:30 and live auction at 6 pm.
What we need from you:
Families with a children Pre-school – 2nd grade           2 -- 2 liter bottles of soda
Families with children 3rd-8th grade           a dessert for the cake walk
All families bring an item for the live auction and a dessert for the dessert table  
Attached you will find the work schedule for all families.  It is crucial that all families help.  If you cannot help, please find a replacement for your time slot.
 
Addition help Saturday February 26 starting at 10 am would be greatly appreciated as we set-up the gym and start prepping the food.  Auction and food items can be dropped off at that time.
 
We will be doing an auction for a Blackstone griddle and a kid’s guessing game for a jar of candy.  Tickets to both can be purchased at the door.  Nothing will be sent home.  The previous raffle was drawn and can be viewed on Facebook.  Any old tickets are no longer needed.
 
Thank you for all your continued support.  Together we can continue to give our children a quality Christian education.

Friday Note                                                               January 21, 2022

L- Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.  Psalm 19:4.
Beginning January 10 and continuing until January 28, we will be conducting a food drive for the Farina Food Pantry.  Our goal is for each classroom to bring in at least 150 items.  Please have your child bring their items to their teacher for counting before placing them in the collection shopping carts.
Great News! The office buzzer system is up and running again!  Belinda can open the door from the church office.  You do not need to call to get your child picked up or dropped off.  Please press the buzzer (at the office door) firmly, and you will be able to gain entry into the school office.  Please sign your child in or out on the green paper on the clip board in the office, and someone will greet you and send your child to class or bring your child to you to leave. Please remain in the office until someone comes in to greet you.
Messages: During the school day our teachers are focused on teaching students! That means they do not have time to check texts or e-mails. If you need to get a message to a teacher, please send that message in a note with your child and have your child deliver the note to their teacher. In emergency cases, call the office and leave a message with Mrs. Harpster. She will deliver the messages at the end of the day.

Students who are going to be absent or late – Our handbook states that you must phone the school office.  Please do not text or message school staff.  You may leave a message on the machine if necessary.
 
Prescription Medication: State guidelines try to minimize medication given at school. If your child must have prescription medication, it MUST stay in the office, be in the original bottle from the pharmacy, and authorization to give the medication to the child, as well as instructions, must be in the office.
 
Cough Drops: Illinois law considers cough drops as medication. Students may NOT have cough drops in their possession. If you wish your child to have cough drops, they must stay in the office, and a note of authorization and instruction on frequency, etc. must be in the office.
Bring a coat! As the weather gets colder, lease keep in mind that students will be going outside for recess when possible. Illinois state guidelines state that we can go outside for recess anytime the wind chill is 20 degrees or above. While we may not go outside on every day the law allows, the fresh air helps to keep germs at bay and strengthens kid’s lungs and hearts. Additionally, sunshine helps in the production of vitamin D. Please make sure that your child has sufficient warm weather attire, including jackets or coats, hats, gloves or mittens, and appropriate footwear.
 
 
St. Peter’s Lutheran School 150th Anniversary Committee is seeking contact information for anyone who attended St. Peter’s School.  Please send your address, e-mail address, and the year you graduated from 8th Grade to splsalum@yahoo.com or provide your information on the sheet located in the church narthex or in the school office.  Sheets will also be available at the admission table at basketball games and volleyball matches.  Please help us by notifying all of your family and friends who attended SPLS to send us their information.  Thank you!
 
As has been publicized, the 150th School Anniversary Committee is planning a commemorative cookbook.  The deadline for recipes is January 31st.  Recipe forms are available in the church narthex and the offices of the church and school. The form is also available on the school website. They may be turned in at the church or school office, or email them to Beth Reynolds at preynolds@frontiernet.net.  A note of clarification: You do not need to have attended SPLS in order to submit recipes.  You are asked to fill in the last year of attendance only if you did attend SPLS.  Wouldn’t it be great if every current SPLS and Little Saints Preschool family would turn in a recipe?
 
Commemorative Calendars are available for purchase in the church narthex following both the Sunday morning worship services this weekend.  The cost is $10.  Checks should be made payable to St. Peter’s Lutheran School.  They will also be available next Sunday as well as at the Fun Fair.  Further availability is still to be determined.  If anyone would like to have a calendar mailed to a friend or relative, please contact Lydia Middleton at (618) 553-8820 or email at lmiddleton21@gmail.com.
  
National Lutheran Schools Week: We are ready to begin our celebration of National Lutheran Schools Week!  All students in Preschool through grade eight are asked to sing this Sunday, January 23 in the 9 a.m. service.  Students are asked to wear their chapel family (or color) t-shirt and meet in the basement at 8:45 a.m.  Students will sing at the beginning of the service and then will join their parents in the pews for the remainder of the service.
Please see the attached flyer for information on our celebration of National Lutheran Schools Week.
 
The PTL Fun Fair has been postponed due to the high numbers of stomach flu and COVID in our area.  We are working on rescheduling this for the last weekend of February (26-27).  We will be sending updated information as we have it.
 
The raffle portion of the Fun Fair will STILL take place this Sunday afternoon.  We plan to Livestream it on our Facebook page.  Watch our Facebook page for more information!
 
The next SCRIP gift card order will be placed on Tues. Feb. 8.  Orders are due no later than Mon. Feb. 7.  Order forms have been placed in the church narthex as well as in the offices of the church, school & preschool.  You may also place an order by contacting Larry Urban at 618-267-3235 or email at urbansix@frontiernet.net. Please note that many of the $5 and $10 gift cards that were found on the previous order form before Christmas are no longer available.
 
Sanctity of Life Sunday is being observed at this Sunday’s worship service.  A door offering to help support the work of Lutheran’s for Life will be taken.

Friday Note                                               January 7, 2022

K- (And we) Know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.  Romans 8:28
Happy New Year and God’s blessings!  Welcome back to school for 2022.  We pray that God will continue to bless and protect us in 2022.  Please continue to be careful with the increasing Covid-10 situation.  If your child exhibits symptoms, please keep them home!  Remember that children running a fever must be fever free without medication for 24 hours before returning to school.
As we begin a new year, it is a good time to evaluate ourselves in a number of areas.  Report cards will be sent home today, January 7.  In addition to evaluating your child’s progress for the second quarter, take this opportunity to evaluate your commitment to worship.  God works to strengthen our faith through hearing His Word.  In addition, in worship we receive forgiveness of sins and encourage other Christians in our faith.  Our faith is fed and strengthened by being present in worship.  We wouldn’t think of not eating on the weekend, why would we not feed our faith on the weekend?  I encourage you to be faithful in attendance at worship, Sunday School, and Bible class.  It’s good for you!
In our last Friday Note before the Christmas break, we asked for a baby picture and a family picture for each child. As we prepare for National Lutheran Schools Week, we ask that you send in those pictures by Friday, January 14.  Thank you!
Beginning January 10 and continuing until January 28, we will be conducting a food drive for the Farina Food Pantry.  Our goal is for each classroom to bring in at least 150 items.  Please have your child bring their items to their teacher for counting before placing them in the collection shopping carts.

K-Know then in your heart that, as a man disciplines his son, the LORD your God disciplines you.  Deuteronomy 8:5
Great News! The office buzzer system is up and running again!  Belinda can open the door from the church office.  You do not need to call to get your child picked up or dropped off.  Please press the buzzer (at the office door) firmly, and you will be able to gain entry into the school office.  Please sign your child in or out on the green paper on the clip board in the office, and someone will greet you and send your child to class or bring your child to you to leave.
Messages: During the school day our teachers are focused on teaching students! That means they do not have time to check texts or e-mails. If you need to get a message to a teacher, please send that message in a note with your child and have your child deliver the note to their teacher. In emergency cases, call the office and leave a message with Mrs. Harpster. She will deliver the messages at the end of the day.

Prescription Medication: State guidelines try to minimize medication given at school. If your child must have prescription medication, it MUST stay in the office, be in the original bottle from the pharmacy, and authorization to give the medication to the child, as well as instructions, must be in the office.
Cough Drops: Illinois law considers cough drops as medication. Students may NOT have cough drops in their possession. If you wish your child to have cough drops, they must stay in the office, and a note of authorization and instruction on frequency, etc. must be in the office.
Daycare: Little Saints Daycare will be open on Tuesday, December 21 and Wednesday, December 22.  We will be closed December 23, 24, 27, 28, 29, 30, & 31. We will re-open on Monday, January 3. School will resume on Tuesday, January 4.
 
Bring a coat! As the weather gets colder, lease keep in mind that students will be going outside for recess when possible. Illinois state guidelines state that we can go outside for recess anytime the wind chill is 20 degrees or above. While we may not go outside on every day the law allows, the fresh air helps to keep germs at bay and strengthens kid’s lungs and hearts. Additionally, sunshine helps in the production of vitamin D. Please make sure that your child has sufficient warm weather attire, including jackets or coats, hats, gloves or mittens, and appropriate footwear.
 
 
St. Peter’s will be observing National Lutheran Schools Week on January 23-28.  We will kick off the week with the students singing in church on January 23 (and wearing their school theme shirt).  The PTL will be hosting the annual Fun Fair beginning early in the day.  As part of the observance, we are asking each child to bring in two things: a baby picture, and a family picture.  The pictures will be lightly taped to construction paper and displayed around the school.  We will return the pictures after we are done.  If you do not have a current family picture, please take one over the Christmas break and send in both pictures in January.  Thank you for helping us make this year’s (our 150th) National Lutheran Schools Week extra special!
 
The teachers and staff of St. Peter’s Lutheran School wish you and your family a blessed celebration of our Lord’s birth. 
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Christmas Program Information:
Classrooms have begun work on our annual Christmas Program.  This is exciting!  The Christmas Program will be presented on Sunday, December 19 at 6:00 p.m.  This is a wonderful time for our students to exercise their faith by sharing their Christmas message with friends, family, and the members of St. Peter’s.  Feel free to invite friends and family to this program.  Did you know that the cost for each of our students to attend St. Peter’s Lutheran School is over $8,000 per year?  No family pays even half that amount.  That makes the Christmas Program even more exciting because this is an opportunity to thank the members of St. Peter’s for their support of our school and to demonstrate what the students are learning, thanks to the faithfulness of the St. Peter’s members.  The program has been designed around the participation of all of our students.  Watch for more information about how you can help your child learn their part, as well as important details like where to meet and what to wear on the 19th of December!

Christmas Program Information:
Classrooms have begun work on our annual Christmas Program.  This is exciting!  The Christmas Program will be presented on Sunday, December 19 at 6:00 p.m.  This is a wonderful time for our students to exercise their faith by sharing their Christmas message with friends, family, and the members of St. Peter’s.  Feel free to invite friends and family to this program.  Did you know that the cost for each of our students to attend St. Peter’s Lutheran School is over $8,000 per year?  No family pays even half that amount.  That makes the Christmas Program even more exciting because this is an opportunity to thank the members of St. Peter’s for their support of our school and to demonstrate what the students are learning, thanks to the faithfulness of the St. Peter’s members.  The program has been designed around the participation of all of our students.  Watch for more information about how you can help your child learn their part, as well as important details like where to meet and what to wear on the 19th of December!

Thanksgiving Break: In observance of Thanksgiving Day, there will be no school Wednesday, November 24 through Friday, November 26. Please take the opportunity to attend church and thank God for the many blessings He has given, and continues to give. St. Peter’s Lutheran Church will have Thanksgiving Service on Wednesday evening, November 23 at 6:30 pm. School will resume on Monday, November 29. Happy Thanksgiving!
Bring a coat! As the weather gets colder, lease keep in mind that students will be going outside for recess when possible. Illinois state guidelines state that we can go outside for recess anytime the wind chill is 20 degrees or above. While we may not go outside on every day the law allows, the fresh air helps to keep germs at bay and strengthens kid’s lungs and hearts. Additionally, sunshine helps in the production of vitamin D. Please make sure that your child has sufficient warm weather attire, including jackets or coats, hats, gloves or mittens, and appropriate footwear.
Medication Information: St. Peter’s Lutheran School is not allowed to give out any medication, including over the counter medications, unless there is an authorization form on file in the office. If you do not have a form on file, we can not give out pain relievers, etc.  A form is attached to today’s Friday Note.  If you need additional forms, contact the office.
Prescription Medication: State guidelines try to minimize medication given at school. If your child must have prescription medication, it MUST stay in the office, be in the original bottle from the pharmacy, and authorization to give the medication to the child, as well as instructions, must be in the office.
 
 
Cough Drops: Illinois law considers cough drops as medication. Students may NOT have cough drops in their possession. If you wish your child to have cough drops, they must stay in the office, and a note of authorization and instruction on frequency, etc. must be in the office.

150th Anniversary: Did you know that St. Peter’s Lutheran School began in 1872?  That means that our current school year is the 150th anniversary of St. Peter’s Lutheran School.  Whow!  What an amazing blessing!  Watch for information and activities this school year as we continue to thank and praise God for 150 years of blessings!  For 150 we have counted on God’s promise in Proverbs 22:6: Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.

The Lady Saints will be traveling to Springfield for the Lutheran State Volleyball Tournament on Friday, November 5th!  They play their first pool play match at 11:30 at Trinity Lutheran School.  Girls need to arrive at the gym by 10:45.  Their 2nd pool play match is at 4:00 at 8th Street Gym.  Good luck Lady Saints!  (Prayers for safe travels)!
 
Friday, November 5 the Lady Saints will be heading to Springfield for a volleyball tournament.  Because this is a regularly scheduled school day, and to meet legal requirements, the students must check in with their teachers prior to leaving for the tournament.  In order to make this as easy as possible, parents are asked to meet in the school parking lot at 8 am.  Please park on the east or north side of the church.  Dr. Wooster and Mrs. Ponzel will be available for the students to check in and then Pastor Meyer will offer a prayer and a blessing for the students and drivers.  Please notify the teachers in writing if any siblings will be traveling to the tournament.  The siblings may check in with Dr. Wooster on Friday morning.

F-For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.  Romans 6:23.
School Doors: In order that students be safe and supervised, the school doors will remain locked until 7:45 am. Students who arrive before that time will need to report to Day Care. Bus students will not be charged for this. Thank you for your understanding! Our goal is to keep your child safe!
Messages: During the school day our teachers are focused on teaching students! That means they do not have time to check texts or e-mails. If you need to get a message to a teacher, please send that message in a note with your child and have your child deliver the note to their teacher.

Our new morning Walking Club is working well.  However, in order not to run over our 8:20 tardy bell, the west door will be locked and not monitored after about 8:11 a.m.  If your child arrives after that time, they are not late, but will need to come to the gym door or the office door.  Students who are not in their seats, ready to go at 8:20 are considered tardy.  If you have any questions, email Dr. Wooster at LWooster.spls@gmail.com.

Red Ribbon Week 2021
More than 100,000 schools celebrate Red Ribbon Week each October.  Together, as a school, community and within our families we can teach our children the importance of a healthy, drug-free life.  The red ribbon is symbolic of the pledge to lead a drug free life made by students. Students, preschool through 8th grades at St. Peter’s Lutheran School will celebrate Red Ribbon Week October 25-28.  During Red Ribbon Week, we will focus on what we CAN Be.  Since we are God’s creation and we are HIS children, we strive to live a healthy life and BE drug free.  We can BE readers, teachers, dancers, writers, actors, athletes, managers, bakers, doctors, janitors, veterinarians…
In addition to the week’s special activities, the classrooms will have penny wars.  The money raised will be used to purchase a wishlist item for the classroom that collects the most money.  Each classroom will brainstorm a wishlist item (a game, a puzzle, books, new markers, special party, etc.).  All change/coins brought in will be added towards the class’s total.  Any dollars deposited will be subtracted from the class’s total.  Anyone from any grade can deposit change or dollars in any classroom container.  However, this must be done in the gym, before walking club is finished.  Each classroom’s total will be announced on Monday, November 1.
Listed below are the week’s special activities.  Everyone is encouraged to participate.
Monday, October 25: Wear RED
Tuesday, October 26: “Enjoy life NOT drugs” Wear pajamas to school.  Each class will enjoy an age appropriate movie, popcorn and drink with their class.
Wednesday, October 27: “In all things Jesus Christ is found”.  We focus on Jesus and a healthy life.  Wear your chapel family tshirt.  We will take a school picture after chapel.
Thursday, October 28: “Don’t FALL for drugs”.  Fall parties following lunch.  Dismiss at 2pm.  Students are kindly asked to bring their costumes to school.  We will change into costumes following lunch.  Please keep in mind we are a Christian school when choosing costumes.

First Volleyball Game: Monday, September 27 will be our first Volleyball game.  Students are encouraged to wear Saints shirts of any kind on Monday to support our volleyball team!  The team will have another game on Tuesday, and so we encourage Saints shirts on that day as well!  Also, as a reminder, our governor has mandated wearing masks in every building in Illinois.  Masks will be available for those who need them, as will hand sanitizer.  Go Saints!

Friday Note                 September 17, 2021

C-Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.  Cast me not away from your presence, and take not your Holy Spirit from me.  Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit.  Psalm 51:28-30.
School Doors: In order that students be safe and supervised, the school doors will remain locked until 7:45 am. Students who arrive before that time will need to report to Day Care. Bus students will not be charged for this. Thank you for your understanding! Our goal is to keep your child safe!
Messages: During the school day our teachers are focused on teaching students! That means they do not have time to check texts or e-mails. If you need to get a message to a teacher, please send that message in a note with your child and have your child deliver the note to their teacher. In emergency cases, call the office and leave a message with Mrs. Harpster. She will deliver the messages at the end of the day.

Friday Note                         September 10, 2021

C-Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.  Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.  For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.  Matthew 11:28-30.

What Are Chapel Families?
Chapel Families are groups of St. Peter’s students who sit together for chapel and will periodically do other activities (games, social events, reading together, etc.). Each family has students from each classroom in our school. The seventh or eighth grader serves as the family leader and is assisted by the fifth or sixth grader. These families serve to build relationships among the students, teach the younger students how to worship in chapel, and teach the older students leadership skills. It is a win for everyone!
 
Spirit Wear: A Spirit Wear online shop is opening today for those who wish to purchase other St. Peter’s shirts, sweatshirts, etc.  Items will be available for the next couple weeks and include T-shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies, and even polo shirts!  We are trying to encourage students to “Wear your best on Wednesday” for chapel.  The polo shirts might be a good way to do that, although none of the spirit wear is required.  The link for the online shop is:
https://stpetersfall2021.itemorder.com/sale
We also plan to post the link on our Facebook page.
 
Basketball Player/Parent Meeting
There will be a basketball player/parent meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 14 in the gym at 5:30 p.m.  Anyone planning on playing basketball this year should attend.  We will be discussing the upcoming season.

In order that students be safe and supervised, the school doors will remain locked until 7:45 am. Students who arrive before that time will need to report to Day Care. Bus students will not be charged for this. Thank you for your understanding! Our goal is to keep your child safe!
During the school day our teachers are focused on teaching students! That means they do not have time to check texts or e-mails. If you need to get a message to a teacher, please send that message in a note with your child and have your child deliver the note to their teacher. In emergency cases, call the office and leave a message with Mrs. Harpster. She will deliver the messages at the end of the day.
Students who need to be picked up during the school day will need to sign out. Please come to the school office, press the button to be “buzzed in,” and sign out your child. We will get the child to meet you in the school office.
Our Chapel project for August and September is Unity Lutheran School in East St. Louis. We can share God’s love, as well as say thanks for the blessings He has given us, by sharing the gifts He has given to us!
  
The next SCRIP card order will be placed on Tuesday, September 7.  Order forms are due no later than Monday, September 6.  Forms are available in the church narthex as well the the offices of the church, school, and Little Saints. Please consider using SCRIP for special occasion needs or just for personal use.  The school retains a percentage of every card that is purchased.  If you have any questions please contact Larry Urban at 618-267-3235 or email at urbansix@frontiernet.net.   You may also contact him to place an order.  Thank you to all who have placed orders in the past.
 
Little Saints Daycare has a sign-up sheet for parents that will need daycare on September 3, due to early school dismissal at 11:45.  At least 3 children must be signed up for the center to remain open. Little Saints Daycare will be closed on Labor Day.  You may also call Belinda to sign up if you cannot get down to the daycare to sign up.
 
When students arrive in the morning, they will participate in our new Walking Club. Walking Club is students walking around the gym floor. This allows the walkers to visit with each other while working off a little energy and preparing for the day. Students who eat breakfast will finish their breakfast first.

Friday Note                                             May 14, 2021

We are starting our last week of the 2020-2021 school year.  This year has flown by and I am proud of how hard everyone worked through new obstacles and challenges put forth to them.
 
ABC Verse
This year we are going to be taking a look at the names and descriptions of Jesus found in the scriptures.
Proverbs 4:26 “Ponder the path of your feet; then all your ways will be sure.”
 
Picking Your Child Up Early
If you are picking up your child early for an appointment, please let your classroom teacher know as soon as possible.  Also, when you arrive to pick them up, or bring them back, Call the office (349-8888) and come to the office door and a teacher will meet you to get your child. 
 
Pre-Registration
If you have not yet returned the orange Pre-Registration Form, and wish to have your students attend SPLS next school year, please contact the school office if you are in need of another form.  Planning for next school year has already begun.  It is very helpful to know an approximate number of students per grade while ordering classroom supplies.
Word of mouth is the best advertising tool for our school.  If you know a family looking to provide a Christian Education for their children, please tell them about SPLS and the good work we do here.  Invite them to call or email the school office.  We would love to set up a time to talk with them.
 
 
Illness Policies
There are a number of viruses that go through schools, including COVID-19, strep, pink-eye, influenza A&B, and stomach viruses with and without fevers.  If your child gets a diagnosis while they are out, the school office should be notified.  Please be sure your child is fever free, without medication, for 24 hours before they return to school.  This is for their own safety and wellness, and the safety and wellness of everyone else.

We will still be having daycare available on Friday, May 21st.  If you plan on using the daycare this day, please contact Ms. Angie.

High School & Jr. High students.
This June, Pastor Mohr and youth group from Holy Cross, Vandalia will be attending a Higher Things youth conference in Fargo, North Dakota, visiting Mt. Rushmore in South Dakota, and Concordia University in Seward, Nebraska.  Extra spots are available for any high school or jr. high student from St. Peter who wishes to join them!  They will depart on June 25 and return home July 3.  Cost is $500 for registration and money for meals during the Mt. Rushmore part of the trip.
What is Higher Things? Higher Things offers an incredible, multi-day experience to registrants who attend one of the many events each summer.  We do this because we are convinced that youth need solid teaching and experiences that will nurture lasting Christian faith.  A lot of time at events is devoted to solid biblical teaching in both plenary and breakaway sessions on topics of catechetical interest to youth by speakers skilled at connecting with them.  And there is always a healthy mix of fun, fellowship activity for teens too.  If you are interested or for more information, contact Pastor Meyer, 349-8321 or RevRMeyer@gmail.com

Friday Note                                                    March 31, 2021

Our Lord loved us so much that he sent his Son to die for us.  We are so loved beyond all comprehension.  God defeated sin, death, and the devil through the resurrection of Jesus our Savior.  The victory is won! “Christ is risen!  He is risen indeed!  Alleluia!  A blessed Easter to all of you and your family.
 
ABC Verse

Friday Note                                           March 26, 2021

​Spring is on the way!  As we see the cold of winter give way to the warming and rebirth of spring, it’s obvious to see our Lord’s great care for us.  Warmer weather also reminds us of Easter where we see death turning to life.  Take the time this week to pause and reflect on the Resurrection of our Lord and Savior.  We wish you the blessings of Our Risen Lord!
 
ABC Verse
This year we are going to be taking a look at the names and descriptions of Jesus found in the scriptures.

Thank You
As our sports seasons are wrapping up, I would like to thank everyone for their support of our teams.  Thank you to all those who helped with concessions, taking the money at the door, running the scoreboard, helping with keeping the books, and with cleaning up after the games.  It’s a team effort and we couldn’t have done it without you. 
I would also like to thank Coach Harmeier, Mrs. Kraemer, and all of those who assisted them with coaching our students this year.  We appreciate you very much.

Dr. Seuss Week and Read Across America

During the month of March SPLS students will be Reading Across America and each class will have goals to meet.  Please encourage your child to be reading each night, so they all can help their class meet their goal.
 
Picking Your Child Up Early
If you are picking up your child early for an appointment, please let your classroom teacher know as soon as possible.  Also, when you arrive to pick them up, or bring them back, Call the office (349-8888) and come to the office door and a teacher will meet you to get your child.  We are not using the door buzz-in system at this time.
 
Illness Policies Reminder
There are a number of viruses making the rounds right now, including COVID-19, strep, pink eye, influenza A&B, and stomach viruses with and without fevers.  Please be sure your child is fever free, without medication for 24 hours before they return to school. This is for their own safety and wellness, and the safety and wellness of everyone else.  If your child gets a diagnosis while they are out, the school office should be notified.
  
Water Bottles 
Please remember to send your child with a water bottle everyday.  It’s a good idea to put their name on their water bottle in case it gets misplaced somewhere at school.  The drinking fountains are closed throughout the school and the students need to stay hydrated, especially since sports practices have started.

Sports News
The Saints Volleyball and Basketball teams have been given the OK to start playing games in February.  The Volleyball season this year will run the month of February with Regionals planned for the first week of March.  The Basketball season will run the month of February through the first week of March with Regionals planned for the second week of March.  At this time, they are not planning on a State Tournament in either sport.
With that all said, the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) has released guidelines that must be followed.  The biggest thing that will be different, is that the IDPH has limited spectators to 50.  At this time, we have decided that each player’s family will be allowed 2 parents plus brothers and sisters to attend games.  If a parent can’t attend a game, they can decide who they want to take their place.  Spectators will also be required to wear masks and social distance as much as possible.
We understand that is not an ideal situation, but at least the kids get to play.  For those of you that normally attend games to support the Saints, but aren’t allowed this year, we look forward to hopefully having you back next year.
Thank you all for your understanding and support.

Happy New Year!  On behalf of the faculty and staff here at SPLS, I want to thank you for your patience, dedication, and sacrifice during this school year as we’ve all partnered together so that our children can be at school in person during the ongoing pandemic.  We’ve been so blessed by God to have made it this far into the school year with very few disruptions.  We started the academic year with a solid plan, and it has taken the work of many devoted people to support this shared effort.  Thank you for your diligence and care for one another and for our school!

Congratulations to Mrs. Kraemer!
Thank you for all of your hard work and dedication to Lutheran education.  We are truly blessed to have you with us. 
Mrs. Kristi Kraemer will be commissioned as an officially rostered Missouri Synod school teacher and installed Sunday morning at the 10:15 service. In 2019 and 2020, while already teaching full time at here St. Peter, Mrs. Kraemer completed all the coursework for the Synod’s colloquy process to become an official LCMS rostered teacher. The colloquy process involves a series of intensive classes and coursework involving Lutheran doctrine as well as how to integrate faith and teaching.   
To celebrate, there will be a "walk through" reception after the 10:15 Sunday. Please enter through the school's west door and observe social distancing down the hallway. Mrs. Kraemer will be in the playroom. There will also be a basket for cards, as well as a beverage and cake "to go." Please exit through the main school front doors. We hope to see you there!  
 
Auction Item The SPLS students and teachers are putting together a Fun Fair auction item.  Each child is kindly asked to bring a monetary donation towards this K-8th grade auction item.  Please send your child’s monetary donation to school on/by Wed. Jan. 13.  Each teacher will collect their class’s money.  If everyone participates, this will be a very nice auction item!  We thank you in advance, for you contribution and your continued support of SPLS!  If you have any questions, please contact your child’s teacher.

Friday Note                                 December 18, 2020

Two thousand years ago a child was born, but this was no ordinary child – this child was special.  From the Gospel of Luke 2:10-11, “The angel said to them, ‘Do not be afraid.  I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people.  Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.”
Like the shepherds, we rejoice in this wonderful news praising and thanking God for the most wonderful gift of a Savior.  Even though this Christmas and advent season has been different, especially with no school program, we still rejoice with the birth of our Lord and Savior.
This Christmas season I encourage you to take time to worship and thank God for all the blessings he has given us, especially our Savior.
On behalf of the faculty and staff of SPLS we want to wish you a Merry Christmas and a blessed New year!
                                                            Mr. Mann

As we reflect on the many things for which we are thankful, I want to take this opportunity to share just a few of them with you: We are thankful for our students who come to school every day ready to learn – they give us all a daily reminder of what is important and why we are here.  We are thankful for the support of the parents in creating an outstanding partnership for our students.  We are thankful for the wonderful staff at SPLS who really care about student achievement and have the best interest of our students at heart.  We are also thankful for all of those who enthusiastically contribute so much to our school.
In these most difficult and changing times, we see dedicated and tireless individuals going above and beyond to make sure that great things happen in our school.  They do make a difference, and the children, in their own individual ways, benefit for those efforts.
Most importantly, we are thankful for our Lord and Savior who suffered, died, and rose in victory for us.  As we celebrate this Thanksgiving, we know that we have much to be thankful for.  I would like to wish all of you and your families a happy, healthy and relaxing Thanksgiving!

 October Reading Winners
Students in Kindergarten-8th grades have been reading, reading, reading and reading some more!  During the month of October, when a student finished reading a book, passed an Accelerated Reader test on their book or met their monthly reading goal, they were entered in a drawing for a treat and a free book through Scholastic Book Clubs. 
Congratulations to the October winners:
Lauren Jenne, JoHanna Bergmann, Moriah Logsdon, Kolby Kraemer, Trinity Knott, Aiden Strobel, Zoey Kraemer, Annie Ruholl.
 
Red Ribbon Week
October 26-30 students in Kindergarten-8th grades observed Red Ribbon Week.  The younger students focused on making healthy choices to care for the body that God has given each of us.  The older students learned what a drug is, the harmful effects of drugs on the body and the 5th/6th graders worked on a skit for the week. 
The 1st/2nd grade classroom had 100% participation in the week’s activities!  Therefore, they earned their wish list item.  Way to go!  Mrs. White’s class decided their wish list item was Magnatiles.  The money raised through the coin wars for the week was used to purchase their Magnatiles.  A huge thank you to everyone who contributed to the coin wars in any way!  $517.81 was brought in during the week!  As a THANK YOU/GREAT JOB, all other classrooms will receive soon (or did this week) a special treat.  The remaining money will be used to purchase various materials for the classrooms.  The following were the students that were drawn as Red Ribbon winners.  In order to qualify, the student must be wearing his/her red ribbon when their name is drawn.
Congratulations to the following students:
Emmie Ruholl, Annie Ruholl, Gabriel Sarchet, Brylee Phillips, Bailey Wodtka.
 
 
Classroom Color Drawing
Each Classroom Color day, we have held a drawing.  Any student, K-8th grades, that wears their classroom color, gets their name put into the drawing.  At lunch, one name is drawn.  That winner gets put into the drawing held at the end of the month for a $5.00 Subway gift gard.  During the month of October, we had 3 Classroom Color days.  The winners were:
Rubin Roberts, Brylee Phillips and Ellie Baylis.  Those 3 students were then entered in the drawing for the Subway gift card.  Congratulations goes to Brylee Phillips!  She received her Subway gift card last week.  Another drawing will be held each Classroom Color Day (11-6, 11-13, 11-19) for November, with the final Subway card drawing on Tuesday, November 24.
*The Subway gift cards are purchased through the fund that SPLS teachers contribute to each quarter, in order to have the privilege to wear jeans on Mondays.
 
Sports Update
The SIJHSAA Board of Control met on November 5 to discuss the basketball season.
“A motion was made to postpone all SIJHSAA sports until approved IDPH Return to Play Guidelines are agreed upon and made available to the association.  Thus, at this point girls and boys basketball practices set to start on November 16 and contests to start on November 30 are presently postponed.  Basketball Contacts (Open Gyms) may occur with no-contact drills only.”  With that said, we don’t really know when or if we will have basketball.  With the high number of cases in the state at this time, we will not be having open gyms.  Watch the Friday Note for more news as it becomes available.

RED RIBBON WEEK
     More than 100,000 schools celebrate Red Ribbon Week each October.  Together as a school, community, and within our families we can teach our children the importance of a healthy, drug-free life.
     The red ribbon is symbolic of the pledge to lead a drug free life made by students.  Students, preschool through 8th grade at St. Peter’s Lutheran School, will celebrate Red Ribbon Week October 26-October 30.
     During Red Ribbon Week, we will focus on what we CAN BE.  Since we are God’s creation and we are HIS children, we strive to live a healthy life and BE drug free.  We can BE readers, teachers, dancers, writers, actors, athletes, managers, bakers, doctors, janitors, bankers, veterinarians….
     In addition to the week’s special activities, the classrooms will have penny wars.  Each classroom is to brainstorm a wish list item (a game, puzzle books, new markers, special pens, fancy pencils, special party day…)  The money raised will be used to purchase a wish list item for the classroom that has had the most participation for Red Ribbon Week.
     All change/coins brought in will be added towards the class’s total.  Any dollars deposited will be subtracted from the class’s total.  Anyone from any grade can deposit change or collars in any classroom container.  However, this must be done before the second bell rings each morning.  Each classroom’s total collected will be announced on Monday, November.
   Each day, the teachers will keep a log of participation in each day’s activity.  At the end of the week, the classroom that had the most participants in the week’s activities will receive their wish list item.
 
The following is a list of the week’s planned activities (K-8th grade).
 
Mon. Oct. 26-“Respect Yourself. Love Yourself”-Wear red.
Tues. Oct. 27-“Sock it to Drugs”-Wear Crazy Socks.
Wed. Oct. 28-“Be All You Can Be.”-Wear Camo.
Thurs. Oct. 29-“SPLS is too Bright for Drugs”-Wear Classroom Color
Fri. Oct. 30-“Don’t Fall for Drugs”-Fall Party Day. Bring Halloween Costume to change into after lunch.

Basketball Sign Up
If you are planning on playing JV or Varsity basketball this year and haven’t signed the sign-up sheet on the bulletin board in the all across from the office, please do so next week so we know where we stand.  This is for any boy or girl in 4th through 8th grade.  The last time I checked the sheet, we don’t have many signed up.  Please consider playing, even if you haven’t played in the past.  If we don’t get enough signed up, we will lose a long-standing tradition at St. Peter Lutheran.  We have had basketball for many years, and I would hate to see us lose this tradition!

God is greater than the ups and downs! What an appropriate concept to remember this year.  Your children are a joy and we are thankful to have the opportunity to teach them in person.  We will continue to pray for the health and safety of all our families and ask that you continue to pray for our staff as well!  Remember that nothing can separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus, our Lord (Romans 8:39)!  Keep the faith!

I am thankful for an amazing staff of teachers who showed great resilience to changes as we work to keep everyone safe and healthy while still effectively teaching.
 
I hope you can take a minute or two to say a prayer of thanks for all your blessings.  It sure helps keeps me in better state of mind in the midst of a trying time!  Have a great weekend.

All students are strongly encouraged to bring a water bottle to school every day.  Having water bottles in the classroom will keep the kids hydrated throughout the school day.  Our water fountains are not being utilized at this time.
 
SCRIP Order
A SCRIP order will be placed in September.  Orders are due by Tuesday, September 15.  Order blanks are available in the church office, church narthex, school office, and the office of Little Saints.  If you have any questions, please contact Larry Urban at 618-267-3235.
 
Family Accounts (ShopWithScrip.com or RaiseRight.com)
Families are encouraged to set up a family account.  Go to ShopWithScrip.com to set up your online account.  With the account, you will be able to purchase eGift cards, reload cards and physical gift cards.  The eGift cards and reloads will be available at your fingertips.  Online physical gift card orders will be held by SCRIP until SPLS places a bulk gift card order.  This is due to the fact that there is a shipping charge on physical cards.  You will always be notified when a bulk order will be placed.  When placing an online order, you will need to use our school code for us to receive credit.  The code is 758A98A226947.

FREE LUNCH & BREAKFASTS!
In September, our school was offered the opportunity to participate in the SFSP Program, sponsored by the State of Illinois. 
This program provides a free breakfast, lunch, and milk for every student in our school through December!  (Your child may still need to purchase a milk ticket for their afternoon snack).  Let Belinda know if you would like a refund for lunches that you have paid for, or if you would like a credit for after December when lunches will need to be paid for again.
Please consider having your child eat at school – the lunch fund will be re-imbursed for EVERY child who eats!
This is a great opportunity for our students and our Lunch Program!
Our monthly menu can be found on our website at www.stpeterstpeter.com

Saints Sentinel                                      December 20, 2019   

Two thousand years ago a child was born, but this was no ordinary child – this child was special.  From Luke 2:10-11, “The angel said to them, ‘Do not be afraid.  I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people.  Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.’”
     Like the shepherds, we rejoice at this wonderful news praising and thanking God for the gift of a Savior.  I would encourage all of our SPLS families to take time out of their busy Christmas schedule to worship and thankGod for this wondrous gift we have received.
     On behalf of the faculty and staff of St. Peter’s Lutheran School we want to wish all of our school and church families a Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year!
 
Have a Blessed Christmas!                        
Mr. Mann

     As we wrap up the month of November, we begin to prepare for the birth of our Savior who came to take away all of our sins.  We will be assigning parts for the Christmas program.  The program is on Sunday, December 22nd.

Have a Blessed weekend!                                                                                       Mr. Mann
