great cause. Students at St. Peter set aside a portion of their Halloween haul last week to send to local Armed Forces units who are fighting overseas. The kids collected more than 115 pounds of candy – from candy bars to suckers and other sugary treats, the kids brought their candy into school to be boxed up and shipped directly overseas. Kids also collected non-sugary items as well, including tooth paste, dental floss and other personal items. “We couldn’t be more proud of our students,” said Linda Smith, St. Peter School principal. “One of the core values that we teach the students here at St. Peter is caring for others and sharing. The fact that the entire school participated in this and was able to

donate a record amount of candy is truly a testament to wonderful kids, parents and educators we have here at St. Peter.” Event coordinator Angie Edwards partnered with the Toledo-based Heroes in Action to help determine how and where to ship the 115 plus pounds of candy and other items. “We appreciate the participation and efforts of the families at St Peter in collecting candy and items for the care packages sent to our service members overseas,” said Dawn Heisler with Heroes in Action. “The holidays are a very difficult time for those servicemen and servicewomen to be away from home and their loved ones. They are so appreciative of all those at home that help honor our troops serving our country and in return, thanking them with a care package.” St. Peter School is a member of the Diocese of Toledo that strives to offer a strong academic education in a Christ-centered community that emphasizes Christian moral values.
