Severe Weather This is just a reminder that in the event of severe weather (flood, ice, etc.) St. Peter s School follows Kerrville ISD school closings. If there is severe weather, please tune to the local radio stations and listen for information regarding KISD school closings. Whatever KISD does, St. Peter s School will follow (if they close schools, we will too. If they delay school opening, we will follow). Growing Foods Strong bodies for strong minds When it is your turn to send snacks... Please send nutritional snacks. Here are a few examples kids usually like: Cheese sticks, yogurt, apple sauce, carrots and dip, cheese and crackers, raisins and if you send fresh fruits... The teachers will be glad to cut it up.
