St. Peter Central Catholic Elementary School Parent Association

 

Welcome Parents,


The new school year has finally arrived. The children appear to be happy and excited to be back in school. They are getting reacquainted with old friends whom they haven’t seen for a few months, looking forward to new projects in their classes and meeting new friends.

This is just how your new Parent Association officers feel. We are looking forward to working with those parents who have historically given to the school their talents, efforts, and their time (a very precious commodity to every parent).

We are also looking forward to the many projects and activities planned for the coming school year. These functions and activities are fun, pull our community (parents, children, teachers, and administrators) together, and are a lot of work to organize and run! The following few pages highlight these activities and how people can become involved and contribute to their success. These are challenging projects, but by pulling together for our children, wonderful and lasting relationships with other parents are formed.

What is most exciting though is the opportunity to meet new parents and welcome them to the Parent Association. Not only do we refer to first year parents when we say “new parents” but also to those parents who have had children in the school in previous years but have not been actively involved with the Parent Association. It is our goal this year to provide an atmosphere that will encourage all our parents to feel welcome and come together with other parents to enhance their children’s educational experience.

In conclusion, we feel that the success of any organization depends upon its ability to focus on a clear and concise purpose for its existence. Let the following mission statement stand as our public commitment to provide a quality experience for our school, our fellow parents, and - most importantly - our children.

 

Mission Statement

Our mission is to coordinate the many talents and skills of our parents to enhance our children’s educational experience. While celebrating the vast diversity of cultures and backgrounds our school blends together, we recognize the common thread we all share - the willingness to make personal sacrifices so that our children may have the best educational experience possible. May Jesus Christ bless our community and let us unite around this value we all share and thereby strengthen our community and provide that experience our children so richly deserve.
