| PRAYERS & SUPPORT FOR UKRAINE
To continue to support the people of Ukraine, we would like for all ADW schools to unite in prayer this Friday, May 13th, the Feast of Our Lady of Fatima.
The Blessed Mother asked during her appearance at Fatima for the consecration of Russia to her Immaculate Heart, which our archdiocese united with Pope Francis, did on March 25, but we would also like to use an abbreviated form of that prayer across all of ADW schools on Friday (prayer attached here).
This Friday will also be a free dress day (blue and yellow for Ukraine) in support for the Ukrainian people.
A letter for parents inviting their families to join in the prayer at home and/or donate to support the refugees will follow from the Archdiocese.

| ANNUAL FUND DONOR THANK YOU

| FIELD DAY- FRIDAY, MAY 27TH
On Friday, May 27th, the entire school will participate in Field Day on the campus of Our Lady of Victory. Lunch will be provided. PK3 will be dismissed at 12:45pm. Grades PreK-4-8th will be dismissed from school at 1:00pm.
NO EXTENDED DAY WILL BE HELD ON FIELD DAY.
Students who will be leaving Field Day on their own must have a written, signed note from a parent or permission on file in the school office to leave the premises.
A water bottle will be provided to all students on Field Day. Please remember to apply sunscreen at home. Students should wear blue or white reflecting their team and also wear sneakers.
PLEASE NOTE: While pizza lunch will be provided, OLV recognizes that some of its students face a variety of dietary preferences or restrictions (e.g. diabetes, vegan, celiac disease, food color allergies, egg allergies, dairy allergies, other nut allergies, etc.). However, due to the variety and complexity of dietary preferences in our community, it is impossible to accommodate every child by ensuring every food product available at school events is acceptable for every child. Therefore, parents with children who have dietary preferences or restrictions are encouraged to provide food that meets their child’s specific needs that day.
