Congratulations to the Class of 2020 from Merchantville School and St. Peter School. Merchantville School celebrated the occasion by sharing a bi-lingual eighth grade graduation video and "babies video" for everyone's enjoyment. Their graduation video begins with a heartwarming message from class keynote speaker, Katherine Santos, who entered 6th grade as a non-English speaking student, and credits student and staff equality, companionship, kindness and tolerance for their success. On June 14th, the SPS Class of 2020 Virtual Graduation went live on facebook and youtube where congratulatory comments could be left by friends and relatives. This is the 90th graduating class of St. Peter School who can proudly call this school their "alma mater".

On March 14th Merchantville School closed to help stem the spread of coronavirus. Monday, March 16th, will be a teacher in-service day and students will not report to the building and starting Tuesday, March 17th, through Friday, March 27th, remote learning will take place. All activities are canceled during this time period. Breakfast and lunch will be provided to Merchantville students during this closure. St. Peter School posted a message to their school community announcing a temporary closure effective March 16th. Parents can expect St. Peter's to be closed for at least 2 weeks and were directed to review a special statement by Bishop Sullivan concerning the closure of all Diocesan schools and communications sent by the principal concerning remote instruction and assessment. Haddon Heights High School alerted Merchantville parents that remote learning would be instituted from March 16th - March 27th. This schedule is subject to change and may be extended based on future consultations with the Camden County Department of Health.
