Dear Parents,
This week, we celebrate Earth Day! On Earth Day and every day, we are called to be stewards of God’s creations and to care for His gifts here on Earth. We pray that we may be models to our children while we fulfill this responsibility. Together, let us offer this Earth Day prayer from the Sisters of Mercy:
- For trees, plants, crops, and forests. Let us pray.
- For water, oceans, rivers, streams and ponds. Let us pray.
- For air, wind, climate and weather. Let us pray.
- For sun, clean energy and prevention of global warming. Let us pray.
- For animals, especially endangered species. Let us pray.
- For all humankind. Let us pray.
- For recycling and moderate personal consumption. Let us pray.
- For proper use of chemicals and disposal of toxic waste. Let us pray.
- For Earth and unity. Let us pray.
Creator God, we thank you for all of creation.We ask your forgiveness where we have failed to be just stewards. And we now ask for your guidance in restoring the face of the earth. May we learn to live in harmony, safety and just sharing of resources among all so that we achieve the kingdom of God. Peace be to this community. Peace be to this land. Peace be to all people. AMEN.
--Mrs. Sandra Jimenez

SCHOOL UNIFORMS
We live our core value to UNITE as students wear their school uniform with pride. Please remember that the complete daily uniform includes the plain white polo shirt, navy slacks or uniform skirt/jumper, green uniform sweatshirt, black or white socks, and solid black or solid white sneakers (tennis shoes).
On Fridays (unless there is a church service), students may wear the optional gray Aztecs hoodie, Aztecs sweatpants, and Aztecs T-shirt.
** To purchase the gray Aztecs sweats, obtain an order form in the school office.
For more details on the school uniform, refer to the Uniform section of the Parent-Student Handbook that was distributed on the first day of school, which is also available on the school website: http://www.stpeterssf.org/parents-students
Students who are out of uniform will receive a “Uniform Notice” to be signed by a parent or guardian, as a reminder about the uniform policy, and to help us unite as a school community.
