Our St. Peter classrooms were blessed on Friday by Fr. Peter. We are so grateful to Father for taking the time to come and bless each classroom and all the children who were present.

Not only were our classrooms blessed, but our courtyard was blessed as well! What a beautiful way to begin our school year, surrounded by God’s love and protection.

Thank you, Fr. Peter, for sharing this special blessing with our St. Peter family! ❤️🙏

Sorry this post is a little late! Over the past three Masses, several of our students, along with a staff member, have been recognized for demonstrating the qualities of our new PRAY program:

🌟 P – Positive
❤️ R – Respectful
🙏 A – Appropriate
💛 Y – Yielding

PRAY is more than just a word—it is a reminder of how we are called to live our faith each and every day. Through our words, actions, kindness, and respect for one another, we can follow the example Jesus gave us and let His love shine through us. ✝️❤️

Our students love hearing their names called during Mass and being recognized by their school family! Each student also receives a special PRAY pin from Mr. Chromy as a reminder to continue being an example to others.

Congratulations to all of our students and staff who have been recognized! 🎉 We are so proud of you. Keep choosing kindness, showing respect, helping others, and living out your faith each day.

Keep PRAYing and keep letting your light shine! 🙏✨

I know this is a little late, but I still wanted to share! 😊

Each year during our Book Fair, we have a jar filled with candy, and students get the chance to guess how many pieces are inside. The student with the closest guess wins the whole jar!

This year, our Kindergarten through 5th Grade students made their guesses on Monday, and we have a winner…

🎉 Congratulations to Mia T.! 🎉

Mia had the winning guess and gets to take home the jar of M&M’s! 🍫🌈

Enjoy your M&M’s, Mia—but please don’t eat them all at once! 😂❤️🙏🏼

It was a pleasure to spend part of my afternoon visiting St. Peter Catholic School - DeLand to be a "mystery reader" to this class of third graders. We read "Seven Blind Mice!"

Lots of great questions about law enforcement and a good discussion about being a positive and engaged member of our community. Thanks for having me!

Dear St. Peter Catholic School Family,
It is official, as of July 1st, on behalf of our entire St. Peter community, it is with great joy and excitement that we welcome our new principal, Mr. Al Chromy, to our school family.
Mr. Chromy brings with him a wealth of knowledge, leadership, and dedication to Catholic education. We are grateful that God has guided him to St. Peter, and we look forward to the gifts, vision, and experience he will share with our students, faculty, staff, and families.
At St. Peter, we pride ourselves on being more than just a school—we are a faith-filled family committed to nurturing our students academically, spiritually, and personally. We are excited to partner with Mr. Chromy as we continue our mission of helping each child grow in faith, knowledge, and service.
Beginning a new journey is always an exciting adventure, and we hope Mr. Chromy immediately feels the warmth, kindness, and support that make St. Peter such a special place. We know that together, with God’s guidance, we will continue building upon the strong traditions of our school while embracing new opportunities for growth and excellence.
Please join us in extending a heartfelt welcome to Mr. Chromy and his family. We keep them in our prayers as they begin this new chapter, asking God to bless them with wisdom, strength, and joy.

It is with both grateful hearts and heavy hearts that we share that Sister Beata will be moving on to a new chapter in her life after five and a half wonderful years of service to St. Peter Catholic School.
Over these past years, Sister Beata has become so much more than a member of our school community—she has become family. Through her faith, kindness, compassion, and gentle spirit, she has touched the lives of our students, faculty, staff, and families in countless ways. Whether offering words of encouragement, leading us in prayer, sharing a smile, or simply being present, Sister Beata has been a true example of Christ’s love.
She has celebrated with us during joyful moments, walked beside us during difficult times, and helped guide our children to grow not only academically but also in their faith. Her dedication and love for our school have left a lasting impact that will never be forgotten.
While it is difficult to say goodbye, we know that God has wonderful plans for Sister Beata as she begins this new chapter. We are incredibly grateful for the gift of her presence in our lives and for the many blessings she has brought to St. Peter.
Sister Beata, thank you for your unwavering faith, your loving heart, and your years of devoted service. You will be deeply missed, but you will always hold a special place in the hearts of the St. Peter family.
Please join us in praying for Sister Beata as she embarks on this new journey. May God continue to bless and guide her every step of the way.
With love and gratitude, we thank you, Sister Beata. You will always be part of our St. Peter family. 💙🙏
