From the Principal's Desk
Dear Father Doyle Families,
What a week for walking! Thank you so much to everyone who contributed to our annual Father John V. Doyle School Walk-a-thon. This year, we are thrilled to have raised $15,654, more than doubling our initial $7,000 goal! Proceeds will support academic programs and classroom furniture. More information regarding specific projects related to Walk-a-thon funds raised will be coming soon! Lastly, in celebration of this year's Walk-a-Thon success, Friday, October 29th will be a FREE dress down day for all students!
We're also excited for the Parish Snowflake Bazaar this weekend! Join us for fun, food, shopping, and more! See the flyer here for more details.
In addition, join us next weekend for our Annual Spooktacular on Saturday, October 30th. Stop by for trunk-or-treat, our annual pumpkin decorating contest, and more! If you signed up to decorate a trunk, the PTO will send you an email with additional information by Monday. Stay tuned!

The November Lunch Menu is currently available on the FACTS Family Portal. Please submit order no later than 8am on Monday, October 25th. Thank you!
Fall Picture Day - Tuesday, November 2nd
Lifetouch photographers will be here on Tuesday, November 2nd for fall school pictures. A reminder that this is a non-uniform day. For more information, see the flyer here.
Update on School Uniforms
A focus group met earlier this week to discuss school uniform concerns. We are currently in the process of reviewing feedback and determining the next best steps for a convenient, consistent, and affordable uniform option for the future. Stay tuned!
In the meantime, are you looking for gently used uniforms for your child(ren), we have a small amount of used uniforms available for families having difficulty acquiring uniforms. If you are interested in receiving used uniforms, please complete the Google Form here: https://bit.ly/FJVDUsedUniforms. The school will contact you if we have uniforms available in your size. Please note that uniforms will be distributed based upon the order in which the form was submitted.
Pets at Pick-Up
Due to liability and safety concerns, we kindly ask that families not bring dogs to the pick-up area on the east wing of the school. If you are bringing your pet to pick-up, please ensure they can remain safely in the car during pick-up procedures. Thank you!
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend! Go Saints!
Sincerely,
Mr. Peloquin

Reduce Waste and Help our School!
Do you have used ink cartridges at home? Father Doyle School is partnering with Planet Green Recycling to recycle use ink cartridges. The best part? It's entirely hassle free - all you have to do is drop your ink used ink cartridges off in the main office. We'll package and ship them to Planet Green, who ensures cartridges are properly recycled. Ultimately, the program helps save the environment and supports the school! Find out more here.
Box Tops for Education
Keep Saving Those Box Tops!
See the newsletter attached below for information on how to upload your box tops using the new Box Top App!
Participate in the FJVD Certificate Program!
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 $50.00 check or $75.00 tuition reduction.
Cards currently available include:
Stop & Shop, Applebee's, Barnes & Noble, Dave's, Dunkin Donuts, Panera, Wal-Mart and more!
Stop by the school Monday-Friday 7:45am-8:15am, the Rectory Monday-Friday 1:45-2:15pm, or in the Parish Center after the 7:30, 9:30 and 11:30am Sunday Masses to purchase your gift cards!

Aluminum Can Tab Collection
What: Aluminum can tabs are being collected
Why: To support the Ronald McDonald House in Providence
How can you help? Save can tabs and send them in to Mr. Godin’s room.
Bottle Cap Drive
We’re excited to share that our school is part of the Coca-Cola Give program. This provides new funding opportunities to help improve learning environments for students. The best part? Donations don’t come out of your own pocket. When you make Coca-Cola purchases, you simply send in bottle caps or product codes from boxes of beverages and our school receives a donation.
All caps and codes should be sent to Mr. Godin. Codes will be entered on one account to gain larger and quicker donations.
Thank you!
