Saint Peter School - Cambridge, MA

Our eighth grade students have been accepted at many different area high schools such as Matignon, Arlington Catholic, B.C. High, Commonwealth, BB&N, BU Academy, Belmont Hill, Concord Academy, Mount Alvernia, Ursuline and others. They are so excited about their plans for next year!

Our second grade students are preparing for First Reconciliation and First Eucharist. The children have spent much time getting ready for these two sacraments, a most important step in their faith journey, and the whole school is praying for them and with them.

Excitement is also building for our annual class trips. Grade 8 spends a week in Washington, D.C. visiting first hand many of the places that they have studied in their American history curriculum. Grade 5 spends 3 days in Yarmouthport and grade 7 spends a week in Wakefield, Rhode Island. Both the grade 5 and the grade 7 trip are part of Nature’s Classroom, a unique educational experience that provides hands on science learning in an outdoor setting. At St. Peter School, we are committed to this experiential learning both through these trips and through day to day experiences in the classroom.

During this same week, grade 6 is also blazing a trail by piloting a new social justice program that will be an extension of our already existing social justice program. Grade 6 will be involved in special projects each day that week – projects such as an ecosystem walk, a visit to our neighboring nursing home, etc. This program is part of our commitment to have the children reach out to those in our community who are less fortunate and thus live our faith through actions.

As we go through these wonderful experiences, we are reminded each day of our commitment to help each child succeed to his/her potential.

Blessings to all,

Principal
