Way to go St. Peter School! Raising just as much as BMS for such a wonderful cause with far less students to collect monies!!!

Both schools are to be commended on working so hard to raise money for this cause!

Thanks so much!

Awesome job St. Peter students! You really do set an example for many others. I'm so proud to be an alumni and a St.Peter parent. Keep up all the good work!
