Dear Parents and Friends of SS Peter and Paul School,

Once again, SS Peter and Paul School is pleased and proud to join with Catholic Schools throughout the Allentown Diocese and across the nation in observance of “Catholic Schools' Week"! A time of great celebration in our school, we take time to recognize all that is good about our school, and time to celebrate all that makes our school such a special place. Our theme this year is "CATHOLIC SCHOOLS: FAITH. ACADEMICS. SERVICE."

Our faculty, staff, students and I are preparing for a wonderful celebration and we wish to invite you to join us for the following events:

Sunday, January 29^th: Please join us as we kick off Catholic Schools' Week with our School Family Mass, Open House, and Academic Fair. Mass begins at 11:00am in SS Peter and Paul Church followed by our Open House, Academic Fair, refreshments and school tours. All students are expected to attend (in uniform) as we gather together as a school community and reaffirm to one another how important our school is to all of us, and how meaningful the lessons learned here are in the lives of our children. Students should meet their teacher in church by 10:45am and sit with their class. Seats will be reserved for classes.

This is also a time when I ask each of you to invite along another family who might be interested in our school to join us for our mass, Open House and a tour. Our school needs you. You are our best advocate. You can help to ensure your child's education here at SS Peter and Paul will continue for years to come by helping our enrollment to grow. Each of us must do our part to keep our school strong.

Tuesday, January 31^st: Please join us as we welcome the Marian Rock Music Ministry for a 10am Mass in SSPP Church.

Thursday, February 2^nd: 8am Family Mass, All families are welcome to attend.

Friday, February 3^rd: TALENT SHOW! 12:30 at the Borough Annex. All families are welcome to attend. Student Council will once again be selling baked goodies!

You are an important part of our school community and are encouraged to join us whenever you can. Invite grandparents, friends, and neighbors to come along, too, because we are very proud of our school, our teachers, our students, their work and their accomplishments.

We continue to thank God for the many blessings He has bestowed on our school and we thank you for the confidence you have shown by choosing SS Peter and Paul Catholic School for your child's education.

I hope to see you during our Catholic Schools' Week celebration!

God Bless, Mrs. Sernak
