WASHINGTON — St. Peter School (SPS) families gathered on Thursday, December 15 to celebrate the holiday season in St. Peter’s Church on Capitol Hill.
Students in Pre-K through 8 th Grade sang a medley of traditional and popular Christmas favorites, with bonus performances by the St. Peter School Choir and the 8 th Grade Christmas Pageant.
At the conclusion of the event, the congregation sang My Grown-Up Christmas List —led by the St. Peter School Choir and accompanied on piano by Music Teacher and Choir Director Paul Griffin—while students presented 172 toys donated by SPS families for Shirley’s Place Day Center at Everyone Home DC.
“The advent season is a time when we reflect on the gifts we receive through Christ and how we can manifest that as a community. Being able to gather, hear the children sing, and experience this joy together has been a great gift. We hope to continue spreading hope, joy, love, and peace across Capitol Hill in the new year,” said St. Peter School Principal Karen Clay .
