FJVD Weekly Info...

Dear FJVD Families,

Happy (belated) 4th of July! I hope you were able to spend time with family and friends. How blessed we were to have such beautiful weather!

I am excited to announce a Back to School BBQ on Friday, August 23rd. It should be a great evening of food & fun. It is so important to take time to come together as a community simply to enjoy one another's company. See below for more details - don't forget to RSVP! In addition to the BBQ, our traditional Back to School Night will be held on Monday, August 26th.

Also, we are looking for a cross country coach for the Fall 2019 season. I had an opportunity to coach middle school cross country several years ago and appreciated the unique opportunity it provided me to teach young people important skills and habits for living a healthy lifestyle. If you or someone you know may be interested in coaching the team, please let me know!

I encourage you to take some time to review the information and announcements below. Wishing you the best over these summer months! Know of my continued prayers for you and your families.

Go Saints!

Sincerely,

Mr. Peloquin

FJVD is currently looking for a cross country coach. Meets are held on Wednesday evenings and practice time can be flexible. If you are interested in the position, know someone who may be interested, or would like more information, please contact me or call the school directly at 401-821-3756. Go Saints!

If you live in Coventry and your child will be taking the bus to school for the 2019-2020 school year, bus registration forms are due to the bus company by Monday, July 15th. Please do not send your registration to the school.

Please note that the town of Coventry now utilizes Ocean State Transit as their bus provider. This is a change from First Student. We have been informed that routes, services, etc. will not be effected by the change in provider. In addition, if you have already submitted your bus registration form for the 2019-2020 school year, you do not need to re-submit the form due to the change.

The bus registration form is attached below. Please contact Ocean State Transit at 401-214-5158 if you have any questions or concerns.

Great deals abound on Amazon Prime Day - July 15-16th - and your purchases could benefit Fr. John V. Doyle School. Simply go to smile.amazon.com and utilize your normal Amazon login information, select Fr. John V. Doyle from the list of organizations, and shop away!

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

The Process:

• The school purchases shopping cards from all of your favorite stores
• 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 tuition credit!

Cards currently available include:

Stop & Shop, Applebee's, Barnes & Noble, Dave's, Dunkin Donuts Panera, Wal-Mart and more!

Stop by the school Wednesdays from 10am-12pm or in the vestibule after the 7:30, 9:30 and 11:30am Sunday Masses to purchase your gift cards!

Starting June 24th - Read, read, read!

Using the reading log attached below, keep track of how many books/pages you read over the summer. Then, turn in your reading logs at school (no later than September 5th). Your log must be signed by a parent.

You could help our school win $1,000!

Thank you for your support!

Please donate your clothing into the purple bins on the side of the Church! Father John V. Doyle School will benefit for every donation - even old sports and/or personalized items! Thank you!
