From the Principal's Desk
Dear Father Doyle Families,
I pray this newsletter finds you well and enjoying the summer months. In speaking with families stopping by the school or attending camps over the past few weeks, it seems the approach of the the school year is being met with mixed emotions. Some are eager for the school year to begin, and others are wishing for at least one more month of summer!
Alas, August is upon us in the the upcoming week, and it is good that we begin to think of returning to the halls of Father Doyle School for another school year. Below, you'll find a few reminders about our back to school events. Please note, the descriptions below are simply meant to be reminders to save the date.

Introducing the Father John V. Doyle School Partners in Education Program
When current and former parents are asked what sets Father Doyle School apart, a word that is often shared is "community." Ultimately, this community includes not only our students, families, and staff here at the school, but the greater Coventry community as well.
With this in mind, we're proud to introduce our new Partners in Education program. If your business, or a business that you know, is interested in learning more about a potential partnership with the school, I invite you to review the information here. Please contact Mrs. Jen Marra, Director of Development and Enrollment at jennmarra@fjvd.org with additional questions or for more information. Thank you!
May you continue to enjoy these summer months. Be assured of my continued prayers for you and your families.
Sincerely,
Mr. Peloquin
