Picture of the week: Mrs. Adams (right) learning about cell phone radiation from Andreas (Left, Grade 6) during the science fair. Thank you to all of the parents that came to support our students and to learn about a great many things!

The bucket line (cancelled due to weather during Catholic Schools Week) is scheduled for Thursday,
April 2nd (Holy Thursday). We will pass all our gifts to the Harvard Square Churches Meals Program right after our 8:00 am morning, Stations of the Cross service in the church. All students will line up along Concord Ave from SPS to Christ Churst, Zero Garden Street.

We need volunteers to chaperone our bucket line. (Please reach out to your child’s home room teacher to sign up as a chaperone.) All volunteers must be CORI’d and Virtus trained.

We would like to collect information from parents about their interest in enrolling their children in our SPS summer program. This year our Director of After School, Izzie Rose, is hoping to create programming that is more tailored to the students that wish to attend. She has shared ideas with me that include visiting the museum of science, partnerships with MA Audobon, and many more!

If you are interested, please fill out this form to indicate your interest. If you are unsure of your plans, please fill out that week anyway so that we can have a good sense for who might be interested.

The cost of the program will be similar to previous years, but may fluctuate depending on the activities each week. Cost Structure:

• Week-long Program session – 5 days/9:00 am to 3:00 pm: $525/week
• Extended day before program – 7:30 am to 9:00 am: $25/day
• Extended day after program – 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm: $40/day

Depending on the responses that we collect from families, we may be able to offer shorter sessions (for example, to older students) that will have a different cost structure. If you have suggestions, please provide them in the suggestion box at the end of the form!

Saint Peter School has had students enter the contest and win. Please encourage your student to enter.
