Just a reminder to families about the God's Portion Day baskets! Items can be brought into the office by May 5th. You are welcome to even ship items directly to school (1115 Young St., Nauvoo, IL 62354) if you are an online shopper! The themes are as follows: Splish Splash in the Sun, Down on the Farm, and Lego Lovers. Thank you for your support!
Due to the timing of the projected forecast, SPPS is closing at 12:30. We are erring on the side of caution because our students are from all over Hancock County and our bus drives very far. We apologize for the inconvenience but wanted to get the word out as soon as possible. There will be NO public bus service due to this decision. Thank you!
Congratulations to the 1st and 2nd grade classes for winning week two of Penny Wars! You have a pajama day on Monday, March 20th! Congratulations and thank you for supporting Sts. Peter and Paul School!
Congratulations to the Preschool and Kindergarten classes for winning week one of Penny Wars! You can wear out of dress code on TUESDAY, MARCH 14th. Out of dress code can be pajamas!

SPPS uniform and spirit shirts that were ordered before Christmas break are going home today IF they have been paid for. Students may show off our new SPIRIT shirts tomorrow! If they did not order one, they can also wear the old spirit shirts as well. If you have neither, students can wear uniforms.
We still have a lot of Cash Dash tickets to sell (approximately 30)! If your family has sold their Cash Dash ticket, they will get an out of dress code day this Thursday, December 8th. If you have any tickets out and are not going to sell them, PLEASE turn them back into the office. We have several tickets out and unsold. We do not have an abundance of extra tickets printed so please either sell them or turn them back in. Thank you for your support of SPPS!
Tomorrow is our monthly GPD dress code day. Typically we collect a dollar from students that is then donated to the GPD auction at the end of the year. This month we would like to do something a little different. As many of you know, we have been praying for Simon Bentzinger, a family member of one of our SPPS families that is fighting cancer. His golden birthday is coming up next month (13 on December 13th) Instead of donating to God’s Portion Day for an out of dress for day on Tuesday, we will be donating this money to get Simon a birthday gift from SPPS to hopefully brighten his days. Please bring one dollar or more on Tuesday for Simon and dress casual. We will be utilizing this money to purchase a gift card. If you would like to write a check, please make it out to SPPS and we will add it to the gift card total. Thank you for always supporting our SPPS families.
Please join us for tomorrow’s Veterans Day program if you can. It starts at 10:30 in the SPPS gym. The kids have put in so much time and effort to make tomorrow special! We hope to see you all there!
