I am a past student from long ago, when I was enrolled in St.Peters Indian Mission School I was a lost and confussed lil teenage girl. With the care and love of Sister Martha and all of the other sister I graduated there 8th grade program recieved a scholarship to Seton High in Chandler AZ. Unfortunatley I ending up getting my G.E.D later in life. I took the love and belief they had in me everywhere with me.To this day they are in my heart.
