International Festival
A beloved annual tradition: each child studies a country, then the whole school comes together to celebrate cultures, food, and performances from around the world.
International Day of Peace
Students dress in white, carry world flags, and walk our labyrinth singing songs of peace — honoring Dr. Montessori's belief that lasting peace is the work of education.
The Elementary Garden
Three days a week with our Master Gardener, students plant, tend, harvest, and cook what they grow — earth science, math, and practical life, rooted in real life.
Summer Camp
Themed weeks — Space Week, Ocean Week, and more — with guest visitors, hands-on science, music, and plenty of joyful discovery all summer long.
Honoring military families
As a Purple Star School, we celebrate our military-connected families with recognition luncheons, a "Purple Up" tribute, and Month of the Military Child events.
Fall Festival & more
From the Fall Festival to our debut in the Christmas in the Park Parade, our parent volunteers help create the moments that make St. Peter's feel like family.
