FJVD Weekly Info
We Live the Word!
From the Principal's Desk
Catholic Schools Week is nearly here! We hope you're excited for all of the activities, events, and more! A full schedule of events was sent to families via email earlier this week. In addition, you should have received your child/ren's Tribe and Tribe Color via email. If you did not receive the Tribe email, please check your Spam fold and email Mr. Peloquin if you are unsure of your child/ren's Tribe.
As a reminder, we kick things off on Monday with our Tribe Opening Ceremonies (think Olympic Opening Ceremonies, but bigger) followed by Tribe Lunches. In the afternoon, we'll have our first Tribe Competition, The Amazing Race, during which Tribes will travel from classroom to classroom to complete a range of timed challenges from the Snowball Scoop to the Mission Statement Mash-Up and everything in-between.
Students are invited to wear their Tribe colors along with non-uniform bottoms on Monday. For a full breakdown of all Catholic Schools Week activities and attire, click here.
