Home & School Association
All Saint Peter's Catholic School families are members of the Home & School Association. As members, they are expected to participate in some way to support the efforts which benefit our children.
Volunteer Opportunities
At Saint Peter's Catholic School, we recognize the important role parents play in their child's education. The parent volunteer community is critical in running many vital school programs. From helping in the classroom and chaperoning class trips, to helping with key fundraisers and staffing special events, we ask every family to contribute in some way. We also understand the time constraints of many families, so please complete the Volunteer Form and let us know how best to connect with you and partner in your child's education.

Volunteers, please note -
In compliance with recent Archdiocesan recommendations for volunteers, drivers, chaperones, etc., background checks are required. VIRTUS Training, driver information forms and waiver of liability forms for chaperones also are required. VIRTUS training registration and the required forms are available by contacting the school office at 651-982-2215.
Fundraising Events and Programs
As an independent school, St. Peter's School does not receive tax dollars to support its' programs. An excellent education requires funding beyond what tuition provides, so St. Peter's School relies on contributions and the following fundraising events and programs to meet operating expenses.
Scrip
Scrip is prepaid gift cards from national and local retailers that can be used just like cash. You can use scrip to purchase everyday items and as a result, generate revenue for our school and earn credit towards your child's tuition.

On-Going Fundraisers
Campbell's Soup labels, Kemps milk caps and ink cartridges are a few of the products that are collected and the school receives reimbursement.
Cars With Heart Vehicle Donation Program
Donate cars, trucks, motor homes, motorcycles, snowmobiles, personal watercrafts, and recreational vehicles. The proceeds from your tax deductible donation support the educational programs of St. Peter's School.
