St. Peter Parent Teacher League

The parent and teacher organization for St. Peter Lutheran School. Think of us as the school's booster club — we raise funds, run community events, and put parent energy and expertise to work on behalf of our kids.

Next meeting

Tuesday, September 8 at 6:00 PM

School Library, with a Google Meet option. The link is shared in the day-of text from the school and is on the school Google Calendar.

Our mission

Every St. Peter parent and guardian is already a member. If your child is enrolled, you're in.

Our mission, from our bylaws, is to help parents and teachers live by example in our faith and love of Jesus, and to enable students to be the best possible stewards of the talents and skills God has given them.

Our goals this year

How you can help

Helping the PTL doesn't have to mean stacking folding chairs, though we love that too. The most valuable thing you can bring is whatever you're already good at.

With a large group, small contributions of time and talent add up — and a better-funded, more vibrant school is the one your children walk into every morning.

Meetings

We meet for one hour on the second Tuesday of every month at 6:00 PM in the School Library — the same day as Two Can Tuesday. Join in person, or on Google Meet if getting to campus is hard that night.

At each meeting, school administration gives a campus update, we review the PTL budget, vote as a group on staff funding requests, coordinate upcoming events, and leave open time for new ideas. This year we're starting each meeting with quick introductions, so it's one of the easiest ways to meet other parents, guardians, and teachers.

Meeting minutes

Notes are posted here after each meeting, so you can catch up on anything you miss. The first set of the year goes up after our September meeting.

Board, 2026–2027

The board keeps the PTL running — setting the agenda, managing the money, coordinating with the school, and making sure events happen. Officers are elected by the membership.

Get connected

The single best next step is to come to a meeting. It's one hour, and you'll hear the admin update, meet other families, and find the way you want to get involved.

The PTL isn't someone else doing things for the school — it's us. Parents, guardians, teachers, and staff, working together to make St. Peter Lutheran School the best it can be for our kids.
