Dear Parents,
As we continue through the Easter Season and begin the month of May–the month of our Blessed Mother Mary–let us pray to our Blessed Mother for continued strength. We strive to keep our faith and be reminded of the joy of new life after a time of great difficulty, as we learned from the glory of Jesus’s resurrection. Together we can reflect on this prayer from Pope Francis:
O Mary,
You always shine on our path as a sign of salvation and of hope.
We entrust ourselves to you, who at the cross took part in Jesus' pain, keeping your faith firm.
You know what we need, and we are sure you will provide so that, as in Cana of Galilee, we may return to joy and to feasting after a time of trial.
Help us, Mother of Divine Love, to conform to the will of the Father and to do as we are told by Jesus, who has taken upon himself our sufferings and carried our sorrows to lead us, through the cross, to the joy of the resurrection.
Under your protection, we seek refuge, Holy Mother of God … deliver us from every danger, O glorious and blessed Virgin. Amen.
--Mrs. Sandra Jimenez

On Fridays (unless there is a church service), students may wear the optional gray Aztecs hoodie, Aztecs sweatpants, and Aztecs T-shirt.
** To purchase the gray Aztecs sweats, obtain an order form in the school office.
For more details on the school uniform, refer to the Uniform section of the Parent-Student Handbook that was distributed on the first day of school, which is also available on the school website: http://www.stpeterssf.org/parents-students
Students who are out of uniform will receive a “Uniform Notice” to be signed by a parent or guardian, as a reminder about the uniform policy, and to help us unite as a school community.
