Dear Parents,
Tomorrow, we celebrate Veterans’ Day! Let us remember our veterans who have given their lives and their lifetimes to serving our country at home and abroad, so that people may enjoy their freedom. Here at school, we recognize our very own Mr. Frank Gonzalez, an army veteran, and all of your loved ones who are veterans as well. Although our country and the world have a long way to go so that all are treated with equal respect and freedoms, we wouldn’t be where we are today without the struggle and commitment of our veterans. God bless our veterans and their families!
Let us offer this prayer in thanksgiving to our Veterans and our government leaders:
Lord God, Almighty Father,creator of mankind and author of peace,as we are ever mindful of the cost paid for the liberty we possess,we ask you to bless our government officials and the members of our armed forces. Give them courage, hope and strength. May they ever experience your firm support, gentle love and compassionate healing. Be their power and protector, leading them from darkness to light. To you be all glory, honor and praise, now and forever. Amen.
(from usccb.org)
--Mrs. Sandra Jimenez

BVCC AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAM
BVCC is accepting applications for their after-school program. Financial Aid is available, and applications are in the school office.
If your child is part of a St. Peter’s Sports team and has a later practice start time after school, please register your child in the BVCC after-school program if he/she will be waiting on campus before the sports practice begins. This is to help ensure proper safety and supervision as students wait for their coach to arrive and practice to begin.
If you have any questions, please contact our BVCC Program Directors: Judy (415-283-5545) or Rochelle (415-713-0625).
VENMO PAYMENTS
We have noticed that on some of the Venmo payments made to the school, the full amount due is not coming through. Some examples:
- Lunch paid on Venmo @StPeters-Lunch $3.00. St. Peter’s Cafeteria received $2.85
- Tuition paid on Venmo @SPeters-School $470.00. St Peter’s School received $468.82
When submitting a Venmo payment, please be sure that the full amount due is coming through to the school.
If you have any questions, please contact the school office. Thank you for your cooperation!
