Follow the Pope live

Just like the General Audience, the recitation of the Lord’s Prayer will take place from the Library of the Apostolic Palace. Pope Francis has been live streaming his events from the Library since the pandemic breakout.  You can follow the recitation of the Lord’s Prayer on the Vatican News website: www.vaticannews.va.

Parents,
Begin your jouney by reflecting on Pope Francis' message:
 "In this Lent of 2020, I would like to share with every Christian what I wrote to young people in the Apostolic Exhortation Christus Vivit: “Keep your eyes fixed on the outstretched arms of Christ crucified, let yourself be saved over and over again. And when you go to confess your sins, believe firmly in his mercy which frees you of your guilt. Contemplate his blood poured out with such great love, and let yourself be cleansed by it. In this way, you can be reborn ever anew” (No. 123). Jesus’ Pasch is not a past event; rather, through the power of the Holy Spirit it is ever present, enabling us to see and touch with faith the flesh of Christ in those who suffer."

Third Grade Students made rainbows ! Thank you!!!!!

Pope Francis wrote an encyclical titled "Laudato si" where he is urging individuals, families, local communitites, nations, etc to an "ecological conversation" and asking us to "change direction" by taking care of our planet.  Each class in union with our spiritual theme "Witnessing Christ through Love and Action" are taking on an action to help our home-planet Earth.

6th Grade Bake Sale - Tree Keepers

So proud of all the hard work and dedication shown by the 6th grade class in raising money for Pope Francis' Green Initiative. These students have worked diligently in fundraising/raising money to plant a tree a Kennedy Park. We have not only hit our goal but have surpassed it, raising $409.74. The students needed $250 for the tree but also wanted to raise funds for a plaque to go with it. In addition, any left over money will be donated to teamtrees.org (for every dollar received they will plant a tree). Thank you to everyone who helped and contributed to this worthy cause.

OLV School uses MAP Assessment, a computer-adaptive test, for K-8 students. MAP Growth K-2, NWEA MAP 3-8 supports our efforts to maximize student learnng.
