ZACHARY ZAUTKE Honored at Archery Tournament

Eighth grade Archer, Zachary Zautke, was recently honored at an archery tournament. The article written about Zach was an entire page in the tournament program handed out at the Fort Atkinson Tournament. Zach has been shooting archery for St. Peter's since the program began 3 years ago. He is consistently one of our top archers and has even scored a 260/300 at state competition last year. Congratulations Zach!

LADY TIGERS FINSIH THE SEASON WITH A WIN!! The St. Peters 'A' team girls’ basketball season finished their season with a giant Tiger ROAR last week beating St. Joe's, Baraboo by two points in a back and forth hard-fought battle. This year's team finished with a strong 3-5 record overall, and in those five losses the team only lost by an average of five points each game. This is a team of young ladies who are blessed with determination and hard work. They came together as a team and had a lot of fun learning the game of basketball. We also bid farewell to our two fantastic 8th grader leaders, Madeline Corbin and Abby VanCoulter. We look forward to hitting the court again next season! Go Lady Tigers!
