Transform Lives This Giving Tuesday: Make known the Power of Many
Dear Friends,
Every Giving Tuesday, your email inbox probably looks just like mine: full of requests from countless worthy charities and nonprofits asking for your support. On Giving Tuesday, I am always reminded of the impact that collective generosity has on the world. Today, I will simply ask that you consider the students of Saint Peter School in your giving.
We have a spectacular opportunity to enable more students to attend SPS and receive an exceptional academic and faith-based education that your children are receiving here. Imagine that transformation happening for more children, thanks to your support! Through the generosity of an anonymous donor, every gift made to the Power of Many (POM) campaign for financial aid will be doubled—meaning your contribution will have twice the impact on the resources available for families in need. Your generosity can help transform lives.
Please join the many who believe in the importance of participation and demonstrate your support of Saint Peter School today, no matter your ability to give. Together, we can ensure that every family who wishes to join our community can do so!
Click now to donate and double your impact! Every dollar brings us closer to our goal, and one dollar closer to changing lives—one student, one family, and one future at a time.
Thank you for your generosity,
Dr. Kristiansen

Philanthropy in Action
Your children gave 72 lbs of their Halloween candy to be given out at Christmas to the guests of the Harvard Square Churches Meal Program. A huge thank you to everyone who participated! This beats our previous record of 70lbs. As you can see in the headlining image, our students are rightly proud of their achievement, and so glad to be able to help those in need.
Stay tuned for more information about the Toy Drive, organized by Grade 3! Lots of classes have participated in this charitable initiative.

Explaining this newsletter
Why are you getting an SPS email in your inbox on a Tuesday? Don't these usually come on Friday? Yes, they do! We have so many things going on at Saint Peter School that they won't all fit in the same newsletter! This newsletter is meant to convey information specifically about the Institutional Advancement efforts that SPS and our Advancement office (headed up by Douglas Lovell) are undertaking. We will do our best not to crowd your inbox (no more than once or twice a month!).
We hope you will enjoy hearing more about our school, and perhaps consider joining us in realizing our vision of progress for our school!
