Meet Our Staff

I am Betsy Bartow, director of after school care. This is my 5th year at St. Peter's, but I went to school here and graduated a long time ago. I then graduated from Helias and received my business degree with an emphasis in accounting and management from Columbia College. In addition, I also have many years experience in child education and developement with all ages, from preschool to high school. Before working at St. Peter's I was a stay-at-home mom and homeschooled my three, now adult, children. My husband and I just celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary in January and will hopefully have many more adventures together. I love reading, watching television, cooking, taking pictures and relaxing in the great outdoors. My home parish is I.C. where my daughter Paige and I recently joined the choir. I really love my job here at St. Peter's where I get to spend time with "my kids" and get to know their parents. 

Dress Down Days!!

$1.00 Dress-Down Day for Uganda is on Monday, May 13th. Money collected will add to our ongoing connection to help build a school in Uganda.

Friday, May 17th, all students have been rewarded with a Dress-Down Day for the wonderful participation in the food drive we hosted last week. Thank you all so much for your generosity!
