Academic Innovations ๐
At St. Peter's, we pride ourselves on providing an academically rigorous curriculum that prepares our students for future challenges. This year, we have made significant updates to our educational programs that enhance learning and engagement:
STEM Programs ๐
Our Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) initiatives are expanding! We have introduced new robotics classes and coding clubs that encourage creativity and problem-solving skills.
<table> <tr> <th>Program</th> <th>Grade Level</th> <th>Frequency</th> </tr> <tr> <td>Robotics</td> <td>3-8</td> <td>Weekly</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Coding Club</td> <td>5-8</td> <td>Biweekly</td> </tr> </table>
The emphasis on STEM not only equips our students with essential skills but also aligns with our mission to inspire curiosity and exploration. As one of our dedicated teachers puts it, "Encouraging our students to think critically will prepare them for any challenge they face."

Spiritual Development ๐
While academics are vital, we also focus on the spiritual growth of our students. This year, our faith-based initiatives have taken on new dimensions:
Monthly Mass and Community Service ๐
Each month, we hold a school Mass to foster a sense of community and spirituality among our students and families. Additionally, we are launching a community service program that allows students to give back.
Students are encouraged to participate in various service projects such as:
- Food drives for local shelters
- Tutoring younger students
- Environmental clean-up days
These initiatives not only help those in need but also instill the values of compassion and service in our students.
