Reading Program a HUGE success

For the past 10 years, our media center has sponsored a reading incentive program. This year's program is turning out to be the biggest and best yet! At least 1/3 of all middle school students met the criteria for end-of-the-quarter recognition. 46 middle school students read 1,250 pages or more during the 1st semester of the school year. I will get back to you on Monday with the grand total of pages read by our students. Way to go!

Hey! I'd love to hear what our students are reading! Please send back your comments about good books that you've read this year.

Welcome to the the official blog of St. Peter Middle School!

Welcome! I hope this blog will be a great way to communicate about all the great things that are happening in the halls and classrooms of St. Peter Middle School. As I write, we are one week into the 2nd semester. Those 7th graders who were just hoping to remember their locker combinations in September, feel like old pros now! On Monday evening our 8th graders and their parents met in the theater for 9th grade orientation. While January may seem to drag on and on, the school year keeps flying by.

Please check back soon. I'll keep you posted on Snow Week activities for our middle schoolers. Rumor has it that the middle school student council and their advisor, Mrs. Doose, have been working on fun plans.
