ALUMNI VISITATION DAY
Once again this past December, SPHS seniors were appreciative to have 43 SPHS alumni arrive very early in the morning for the fifth annual Alumni Visitation Day. Even though many of these alumni had just wrapped up a week of college final exams, their fatigue did not stop them from making the early morning arrival time for this event-and we thank them for that!
After a continental breakfast in the high school library, Father Tom McQuillen gave a special blessing to the alumni before they departed for Assisi Hall where they were to meet up with the senior class. And just short of their departure, Sister Bernard Marie arranged the group for this great photo!
Mr. Mulherin's coffee and hot chocolate cart, Spartan M&M treats, and good conversation among alumni and seniors made for a very great morning! A special thanks from all of us at St. Peter's to all 43 alumni for making the day so special!

December 1 was World AIDS DAY and the Junior class has made red ribbons--the global symbol for solidarity with HIV positive and

On that day, students and staff joined people around the world in prayer and solidarity
with those suffering from the disease. There are
34 million people with AIDS today, including 2.5 million children. Those people living in poor countries
are most affected, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa and in the Caribbean.
Thank you to Mrs. Chengelis for sending these photos!

ST. PETER'S BOY SCOUT TROOP 121 HEADING TO PHILMONT, NEW MEXICO IN 2012
Consecutively chartered by St. Peter's Parish since 1950, Troop 121
currently consists of 24 registered Scouts, 12 adult leaders and 21
Committee members. Fifteen Scouts and eight adult leaders will be going to
the Philmont Scout Ranch near Cimarron, New Mexico in June of 2012. The trip
will consist of riding the Amtrak train to New Mexico followed by 12 days of
backpacking over 70 miles through the 137,000 acre mountainous terrain.
The life skills these young men experience on the trail will be invaluable
throughout the rest of their lives. They will learn the importance of
teamwork, self-reliance, and perseverance. As an adult, they will be able to
draw on these experiences when times are tough and will be able to continue
when others give up.
The Scouts and Scout leaders have been working hard in preparation for their
trip both physically and financially.
Physically they have already hiked over 51 miles throughout the state of
Ohio.
Scouts have been holding various fund raising events throughout the year,
including selling popcorn, parking cars, holding bake sales, and picking up
trash.
Most recently, the Mansfield Y Running Club teamed up with St. Peter's Boy
Scout Troop 121 to host a 5K race. The Trek or Treat 5K Run/Walk took place
on October 23, 2011, through the creepy, spooky, and possibly haunted
Woodland Neighborhood of Mansfield, Ohio. Runners from all over the state
participated-215 total!
The 5K was an awesome way to benefit St. Peter's Boy Scout troop 121's 2012
contingent trip to Philmont Scout Ranch while putting focus on physical
fitness for both youth and adults all while giving back to our community.
This is another example of the strong traditions that St. Peter's Boy Scout
troop 121 is a part of today because of the generous support, great
leadership and guidance of the Scout leaders, Scout parents, parishioners
and adult committee members of St. Peter's Boy Scout Troop 121.
For more information, contact: Christopher Baldasare Sr., Scoutmaster, St. Peter's Boy Scout Troop 121,

IMPORTANT UPDATE FOR CATHOLIC SCHOOLS!
Ohio legislators have submitted proposals to expand Ohio's school voucher programs and create new ones, allowing Ohio
families to direct their children's state education funding to the school of their choice.
House Bill 136 recently passed out of the House Education Committee!
The next step is a vote in the full Ohio House
of Representatives and then in the Senate. This "Parental Choice and Taxpayer Savings" (PACT) Scholarship (House Bill136/Senate
Bill 128) is an income-based voucher program that would include prospective St. Peter's School families and would also include
families who now have students attending St. Peter's School.
If you have recently contacted your legislators in support of this bill, thank you! Your action is helping the bill make
progress! Please continue to write, call, email, or meet with your local legislators. The legislators you elected need to
hear your story about how scholarships would help your family and community.

Students meet at the school flagpole before school to lift up their friends, families,
teachers, school, and nation to God. On Wednesday, September 28, students from St. Peter's School

NATIONAL WEEK OF THE YOUNG CHILD
The Child Development students carried down their "Activity Bags" for the Day
Care families to celebrate National Week of the Young Child (April 10-16).
Goodies included an activity book, windsock craft, parent survival kits, and
blue ribbons for Child Abuse Prevention Month The theme is "Early Years are
Learning years". Thank you to Mrs. Chengelis for sending these photos.
PINWHEELS FOR CHILD ABUSE AND NEGLECT PREVENTION MONTH
(From the WMFD newsroom)
Twenty-nine hundred (2,900) Pinwheels for Prevention have been planted in front of the Mansfield Area Y. Each represents a report of child abuse or neglect last year in Richland County.
April is Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention Month, with the theme "It's Your Turn To Raise The Leaders Of Tomorrow".
Children Services Director Randy Parker said the number of pinwheels this year sets an unfortunate record, with reports of abuse and neglect rising steadily in recent years. Parker attributes that to the economy.
But he said Children Services does not just respond to reports of abuse and neglect. It works with other agencies, such as the health department, to prevent it.
Pinwheels are used because they represent a child's favorite toy, and the joy the shiny spinning wheels give a child.
The Pinwheels for Prevention were planted with the help of two dozen St. Peter's High School students. They'll be on display for 30 days.
Thank you to Mrs. Chengelis for the photos in this story.

HOUSE BILL 136
PARENTS!!! Some VERY important information for our present school
families who pay tuition at St. Peter's!
One question on the HB136 FAQ sheet is:
What about students at my school who are already paying tuition? Would they be able to receive any help?
Yes. The bill includes a phase-in of eligibility for families who already attend private schools and pay
their own tuition. During the second year of the program, private school students in grades K-4 who do
not yet receive a voucher would be eligible. In the 3rd and 4th years of the program, students in K-8
and K-12, respectively, would become eligible.

GLOBE RESEARCH
Students shown here in Mrs. Groshong's physics class are collecting surface temperature data for GLOBE research. Specifically, the data is
entered into a large database for studying the urban heat island effect. They are looking at surface temperature
differences between concrete and grassy areas. The students must also collect weather information including snow
depth, cloud formations, and contrail persistence.
From the GLOBE website (www.globe.gov)
"The Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment (GLOBE) program is a worldwide hands-on, primary
and secondary school-based science and education program. GLOBE's vision promotes and supports students, teachers
and scientists to collaborate on inquiry-based investigations of the environment and the Earth system working in
close partnership with NASA, NOAA and NSF Earth System Science Projects (ESSP's) in study and research about the
dynamics of Earth's environment."
Mrs. Groshong and fellow science teacher, Mr. Steve Bernath, attended a NASA and NOAA sponsored workshop and
St. Petes is now a GLOBE school. Mr. Bernath has his
environmental science class collecting data and performing research. Eventually, all his biology classes will take
part. Mrs. Groshong also has her Algebra II classes collecting data
which they will use for analysis and data modeling. Her chemistry class is also participating and looking at
the chemistry of the atmosphere and energy transformations.

They researched adoption in the US, options (domestic or international), foster care, and causes for
orphans, especially in underdeveloped, poor countries. AIDS is a major factor leading to children being
orphaned. So during Advent they are partnering with Food For the Poor, in raising funds to support orphans
in Haiti. (St. Peter’s has a sister parish in Haiti through Food For the Poor). Every dollar SP students give will be
matched through December by a group of benefactors.
Thank you for Mrs. Chengelis for sending the photos!
They also passed out ribbons to all students (7-12) and staff and information with current Aids statistics. For more
information visit Catholic relief Services at http://worldaidsday.crs.org.

Father Rodney Kreidler, pastor of Ashland St. Edward Parish, celebrated Mass with the high school and junior high school students and staff
on Wednesday. Throughout the school year, the staff and students of St. Peter's High School are fortunate to have
priests from the deanery visit from time to time. Of the 200 students in the high school, we enjoy the company of just over 50
of them who come to us from deanery parishes. Thank you, Father Rodney, for being with us on Wednesday.

PRINCIPAL RECEIVES DIOCESAN AWARD
Congratulations to Mrs. Tressa Reith, our junior high and high school principal, on receiving the
John A. Thomas Leadership Award at our recent Toledo Diocesan Principals' meeting in Huron. This award is

time he served the Church as a high school teacher, as a principal, as the diocesan superintendent, and as a
pastor.
The John A. Thomas Leadership Award was established in 2000 to honor
Fr. Thomas' memory by recognizing
annually one principal who leads in an exceptional way as a Catholic school administrator and one who is committed to
Catholic education in the Diocese of Toledo.

MR. NEUMANN RECEIVES GOVERNOR'S AWARD
Congratulations to Mr. Bob Neumann, science teacher here at St. Peter's and recipient of the Governor’s Award for Excellence in Youth Science Opportunities for the 2009-2010
school year from Governor Ted Strickland and the Ohio Department of Education.
The Ohio Academy of Science selected 115 Ohio schools and 418 teachers to receive the Governor’s Awards for
Excellence in Youth Science Opportunities for their accomplishments during the 2009-2010 school year. “These
schools are engaged in project-based curricula, the central element of any *STEM education program,” said Lynn Elfner,
the Academy’s CEO.
“Receiving a Governor’s Award for Excellence sends a clear signal that these schools and teachers value
student-originated, inquiry-based science education as outlined in the Ohio Science Education Standards
and in the National Science Education Standards,” said Lynn Elfner, the Academy’s CEO. “Whole new worlds
of opportunities open up to students when they complete research or technological design projects,” he continued.
To qualify for the Governor’s Award, each school conducted a local science fair with 20 or more students,
sent one or more of these students to one of the Academy’s 16 district science days and involved students
in one or more youth science opportunities beyond the classroom such as State Science Day, visits to museums,
mentorship programs and extended field trips.
The Ohio Academy of Science initiated this educational partnership program in cooperation with the Office of
the Governor and the Ohio Department of Education to recognize schools and teachers who stimulate student
scientific research and extend science education opportunities beyond traditional classroom activities.
The Technology Division of the Ohio Department of Development has supported this program since 1985 by
grants to the Ohio Academy of Science.
