The marigolds in the Mary Garden are thriving! 🌼Again, thank you to the M&T Green shirt volunteers and our 7th grade students for planting these flowers.

The sign look so good!

What a lovely piece of art, created by our OLV Elementary school students!

The Best Effort Award is presented to one student per class in grades 1-8 who consistently demonstrates responsibility, strives to reach their potential, perseveres through obstacles, and shows notable progress and improvement.

Our 7th graders painted these lovely rocks to be placed in the school's Mary garden!

The Citizenship Award is presented to one student per class in grades 1-8. These students demonstrate an exceptional commitment to service beyond the classroom, consistently showing a positive attitude towards classmates, school, and the community. They display a strong understanding and appreciation of civic responsibility, possess strength of character, and have the courage to do what is right.

This national holiday celebrated on June 19 commemorates the emancipation of enslaved people in the US. The holiday was first celebrated in Texas, where on that date in 1865, in the aftermath of the Civil War, enslaved people were declared free under the terms of the 1862 Emancipation Proclamation.

We are blessed to have many of our graduates honored with scholarships and awards!

Congratulations to the Class of 2024! We are so very proud of you!

Behind the scenes at 8th grade graduation!

From Coach Diamond:

On 6/14/2024, Business Owner Katherine Gress purchased and donated an Easy Goal Basketball net for Our Lady of Victory School. Easy Goals provides the ability to lower basketball nets to various heights allowing students, especially in grades K-2, the ability to participate, practice and develop their basketball skills. Katherine Gress continues to support the OLV athletic program by providing equipment needed to help our student-athletes learn, grow, and succeed in elementary athletics and beyond. OLV would like to thank Katherine Gress for her continued support. Thank you!

Each Tuesday during the Summer months we will post a Tuesday Tip to try with your tots!
Tip #1 - Go on a picnic. Lunch is more fun when it’s outside. Encourage kids to help prepare picnic-friendly foods, then spread out a blanket and enjoy.

How do you prefer to read: by holding a physical book or using a Kindle?

From Mr. Patti -
The 8th Grade class project has been hung in the Tech window with care,
In hopes that everyone will remember what great things they did while here!
We will miss you, 8th grade, but look forward to your visits in the future!
Mr. Patti

Help us congratulate our 8th grade students! We're so proud of you and everything you've accomplished. Wishing you the best in high school and beyond. Keep following your dreams, we know you can do great things!

At our awards ceremony, we honored all our 8th grade athletes, celebrating their achievements and wishing them success as they move on to high school and beyond. Tonight marks an exciting milestone for these young OLV Valiants as they graduate from 8th grade.

At our awards ceremony, special area teachers honored two students from each grade level who demonstrated skill, enthusiasm, cooperation, leadership, and enjoyment in their respective subjects.

The next step in our mural are the flowers! "Every child is a different kind of flower, and all together make this world a beautiful garden.”
What do you think of the front of the building?

A kindergarten graduation is such a special moment in the life of a child. Once again, help us congratulate our little graduates!

Lord, thank you for my dad. Thank you not because he was perfect, but because he was present and always tried to do his best. Help me to learn from him and take the lessons he tried to teach me to help me be a better person, and the one you called me to be.
Amen.
Happy Father's Day.

Happy Father's Day.
