This is a reminder of our school's policy concerning Mass attendance. The Mass is the center of our day and the core of who we are as a community. For this reason, it is expected that students are present and on time for Mass each day. Below are the guidelines found in our handbook:

"Our school day includes the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, which is the source and summit of the Catholic faith. Our Lady of Victory sees the daily participation at Mass as much a part of our curriculum as mathematics, history, science, or drama. Please refer to Appendix A for Mass guidelines and expectations... Due to the centrality of the Eucharist in our school day and faith-life, any student who arrives late to Mass will receive a demerit."

Students are expected to be on time to school so that they can participate fully and reverently in the Mass. Students who arrive late will receive a demerit, and five demerits result in a detention. Thank you for your continued support in upholding the spiritual and academic standards of our school. Together, we can help our students grow in faith, responsibility, and reverence.

The Yearbook Design Contest has begun! This year’s theme is “Our Lady of Victory: The Battle of Lepanto.” Students are invited to submit an original cover design that reflects this theme.

Design guidelines:

• Must be 8.5 x 11 (Either digital or hard copy)

• No color restrictions

• The official OLV logo must be included on the front (Logos will be given to all contestants. Please reach out to Ms. Wofford!)

• Please stay within the chosen theme (creative freedom encouraged!)

Prizes will be awarded to our top three designers:
🥇 1st Place – 5 tickets
🥈 2nd Place – 3 tickets
🥉 3rd Place – 1 ticket

All submissions will be featured in the yearbook, even if they are not selected as the cover.

Submissions are due by Wednesday, April 1st.

We can’t wait to see your creativity on display!

Please reach out to Ms. Wofford at madelyn.wofford@ourladyofvictorydenver.com with any questions and for the school logo files.

As many of you know, we recently went under contract to purchase the property of Mackintosh Academy in Littleton, CO. Our ability to successfully raise significant funds in the next 45 days to close on the property will require the active participation of everyone in our community.

Most immediately, we need to understand your ability and willingness to contribute to this important effort in the life of our school.

Please complete this brief survey today to indicate whether you plan to contribute, and at what level, within the next 45 days. This is not a formal pledge, but your candid response will help us plan wisely and advance the fundraising effort with both clarity and speed.

Thank you in advance for your consideration and support of our mission!

Dear Families,

We have cycled through offering a Mass for every family in the school, and we would like to open up our Mass intentions to the community now. You can email me (receptionist@ourladyofvictorydenver.com) with an intention (and if it's for a specific day or open to any day). We ask that families limit to 1 intention for the remainder of the year.

It is a joy getting to celebrate Mass as a community and praying together!

In Christ,
Emma Barham
Office Administrator

Come join the OLV movie club for the last get-together of the year at the Hadro home on Tues, March 24th to watch Cinderella Man (2005), the true story of an Irish-American boxer during the Great Depression who overcame incredible odds to save his family. As always, we'll have popcorn & a lively discussion of this portrait of courage led by Grant Reinicke. Space is limited, so please RSVP to hadroelizabeth@gmail.com.

Note: As always, parents should make their own prudential judgment about the appropriateness of the film for their students. (See here for the IMDB Parent Guide to this month's selection). All movies are selected in conjunction with Grant Reinicke and approved by the Headmaster.

You are invited to join our Headmaster, Randy Aust, for an evening where you will taste the riches of the great books our students read every year. Each gathering offers a guided reflection on a classic text, along with a lively look at why it has endured, what a busy parent might profit from knowing, and how it can spark conversations that bring truth and wonder into your home. This night’s chosen text will be Homer’s Odyssey. No preparation needed; just bring your curiosity.

Bourbon, wine, and hors d'oeuvres will be served.
