Mark your calendars!!
Middle school students at SPV can choose from many exciting electives, including Dance & Its Histories.
"I chose the dancing elective because I enjoy dancing, and I want to learn more about Hispanic culture. In the dance elective, Ms. Inoa teaches us about the history of dance, and we also learn a dance to perform at Culture Night. It is a fun elective, and I would recommend it to fellow students." - Emma (7th)
-Interview conducted by middle school students in the School Marketing & Communiations elective: Cono (8th) and Edith (8th)

Mrs. Megan Feeney is new to our faculty! She is the PreK-3 teacher. Her two daughters go to St. Pius V School, and they enjoy it very much! They love the St. Pius V community, and it keeps Mrs. Feeney very busy too! When she was a student at the school, she liked the Harvest Festival with the inflatable bouncy house.

Sister Mary Amata and the Travelling Firedog visited the tomb of Saint Dominic in Bologna and made friends with a fellow visitor who looked a lot like a firedog!
The Travelling Firedog visited the Basilica of Santa Sabina, the mother church of the Order of Preachers, in Rome.
Saint Dominic, Saint Thomas Aquinas, and Pope Saint Pius V all spent time at the convent next door and prayed at Santa Sabina.
Do you recognize any of the Dominican Firedogs pictured here? Once a Firedog, always a Firedog!

Tradition states that Saint Dominic's mother was unable to have children until she made a pilgrimage to the Benedictine Abbey at Silos. After this pilgrimage, she had a dream in which a dog leapt from her womb carrying a torch in its mouth whose flames set the world on fire. Saint Dominic was the original Firedog!
