Traditionally, the St Peter 8th graders head to Chicago for a special trip with Father Jack. This year, due to COVID, they had to cancel it. Instead they took a trip locally.
They started on a bus from school and headed to Old St. Charles to a shrine and did some site seeing. From there they crossed the ferry and went to Pere Marquette. Following their time there, they headed over to Grafton to do some zip lining. When zip lining was over it was time to head back to St. Louis. They had dinner and stayed the night in North County at a retreat center.
The next morning, they woke up, had breakfast, and headed off to Union Station. During their day at Union Station, they got to to "all the things." From there they went to Ted Drews and got some ice cream. They then hopped on the Amtrak and headed back to Kirkwood.
The kids all came back smiling and happy! I think they had a great time.....it might not have been Chicago, but they had fun and they were able to spend some time with Father Jack.
