From the Principal's Desk
Dear FJVD Families,
Thank you to everyone who was able to join us yesterday evening for our Live Auction Kick-Off! We had lots of fun, and we are so grateful for all of the volunteers, sponsors, and donors who have made this year's auction possible. Don't forget bidding closes Friday, May 29th at 8:00pm. You can view the items and place your bids by visiting our Accelevents Event Page! Good luck, and thank you for your support!
As the last few weeks of the year approach, there's lots to accomplish and celebrate at Fr. Doyle - even if it is from a distance. Here's a breakdown of some if the information included in Issue 3 of The Savvy Saint published earlier this week:
Virtual Awards Nights
All students and families in grades three through eight are invited to a Virtual Awards Night to be held on Tuesday, June 2nd beginning at 7:00pm. The evening will feature presentations of awards across grades 3-8 levels. Information regarding how to "tune in" to awards night will be available next week. Stay tuned!
#FJVDStrong Virtual Field Day
Even though we won't be together in person, we couldn't let our yearly Field Day pass us by! This year's Field Day will be Thursday, June 4th.There will be no academic assignments that day, just activities designed to provide a little end-of-year joy and excitement! Activities will range from shooting hoops, to designing paper airplanes, drawing with sidewalk chalk, and even just taking a walk! Participation is entirely voluntary, but we hope you’ll join us. More details to come in next week's newsletter, including an introductory video on how to participate. Stay tuned for more info!
Pick Up and Drop Off Days
Many families have items they need to drop off at the school, as well as items left at the school that need to be returned home. In order to accommodate this in a way that ensures the safety of all involved, we have been working with the Rhode Island Department of Health to develop appropriate plans. Pick up and drop off days will run on the following schedule:
Friday, June 5th 9am-11am OR 2pm-4pm
- All 8th grade students (will receive graduation items at pick-up)
Thursday, June 11th 8am-11am OR 2:30pm-4:30pm
- PK-7th Grade Students, Last Names A-L
Friday, June 12th, 8am-11am OR 2:30pm-4:30pm
- PK-7th Grade Students, Last Names M-Z
Please note that alphabetization was modified slightly from initial publication to create better equity between the drop-off days. Detailed instructions for attending pick-up and drop-off will be emailed to families soon.
End of School Mass
Traditionally, we would hold a school-wide Mass on the last day of school. While it may not be possible to hold this Mass in person, we are still planning on holding our End-of-Year Mass on Friday, June 12th at 1pm. The Mass will be livestreamed on Facebook. We hope to "see" you there!
Also, don't forget to order your Yearbook for what has certainly been a memorable year! Visit the Lifetouch website: YBPay.Lifetouch.com and enter our Yearbook ID code 1866620 to order! Please note that all 8th grade students will receive a complimentary yearbook. No need to order!
Speaking of Yearbooks, we would like to include a few pages that capture our distance learning journey over these past few months. Would you be willing to send along a few of your favorite distance learning moments to be included in our Yearbook and other end of year online celebrations? Please email your photos to jennmarra@fjvd.org.
Have a great three-day weekend everyone! Enjoy the beautiful weather, and don't forget to thank, honor, and celebrate our veterans and those currently serving in our nation's military in recognition of Memorial Day.
God bless and Go Saints!
Sincerely,
Mr. Peloquin

This program is a great way to reduce the cost of your tuition while supporting FJVDl!
The Process:

- You purchase the cards from the school, paying face value and spending the same dollars you would have paid to the stores directly
- The school earns a percentage discount offered by participating stores.
For each $50.00 you spend, you get a stamp on your Tuition Discount Card. Fill the entire card and redeem it for a $75.00 check!
Cards currently available include:

Bottle Cap Drive
We’re excited to share that our school is part of the Coca-Cola Give program. This provides new funding opportunities to help improve learning environments for students. The best part? Donations don’t come out of your own pocket. When you make Coca-Cola purchases, you simply send in bottle caps or product codes from boxes of beverages and our school receives a donation.
All caps and codes should be sent to Mr. Godin. Codes will be entered on one account to gain larger and quicker donations.
Thank you!
