Because the school is a religous school - I disagree with the class room parties for Valentine's day, and the 'harvest' parties for Halloween as these are not Christian holidays. Halloween is a pagan holiday. St. Valentines's Day celebrates a saint, rather a martyr - a Catholic concept.

There are many oppertunities for extra curricular activities. Choir is a requirement of the school, requiring mandatory church attendence. Read less

I am completely dissatisfied with St. Peter Lutheran School.
