Our Lady of Victories School 

May we make our homes places of relaxation,
joy, love, peace and safety.
May we be generous and considerate,
not thinking only about ourselves,
but helping others enjoy the blessings of the summertime.
Lord God, Creator of all things,
guide our steps and strengthen our hearts
during these months of summer and vacation days.
Grant us refreshment of mind and body.
May we constantly strive to make a meaningful difference
in the lives of our loved ones and in the world around us
as we enjoy the warm days of summertime.

The Second grade students created a video in honor of our Blessed Mother!

Thank you Mrs. Pawski, 6th grade teacher, and her students for planting a tree in honor of our Going Green Plan !  



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.
