SPS Summer Family Newsletter
August 14, 2026
This week, we mailed out about 900 invitations for our 125th celebration on Sunday, September 27th. If you don't receive an invitation this week and you would like one, please reach out to sps125@saint-peter-school.org or click the link below. We hope that you'll join us for mass, complimentary lunch by Chef Doug, and games on September 27th! Come join us in celebrating our 125th anniversary of serving Cambridge!
Parent Directory Emailed from FACTS
Today I sent out the Parent Directory to all members of our school community currently registered. We don't share that directory in this newsletter for privacy reasons.
If you notice any mistakes or issues in the Directory (I'm just one man!), please reach out to ekristiansen@saint-peter-school.org and I will correct it. I'm likely to come out with a new version as early as next week Wednesday, so please don't hesitate to send in your corrections!
I hope that the Directory is a useful resource and that it helps you in your efforts to form community in your classes!
125th Celebration Starts with the RedSox
As you know, at the start of this year Saint Peter School will have been in continual operation since its founding in 1901. We are celebrating 125 years this year! This year we will celebrate St. Peter School in many ways, including a celebratory Mass on the 27th of September (please register with the link below), a 5K fun-run, a special version of the SPS Gala, and much more!
Our very first celebratory event will happen in about 5 weeks. We have worked with the Red Sox Foundation to get a section of tickets for SPS students and Families at a great rate. The cost is $33 per person, and after the game, the kids get to run the bases on the field!
Join us in celebrating the school and the Red Sox (by the way, the team started playing in 1901 as the Boston Americans, so they're turning 125 this year as well!). Scan the code to learn more, or click the button below.
