When Plain Local Schools are closed either for a two (2) hour delay or all day for weather-related reasons, Our Lady of Peace School is automatically closed for the entire day.

Structure and Order
The Social Doctrine o
f the Catholic Church will guide the shared human experience of our students, their families, the school community, and the neighborhood. The principles of the Dignity of the Human Person, Solidarity among all God’s people and the Common Good support the rationale for the intellectual, human, social and spiritual components of our school.
At Our Lady of Peace School, students learn to respect one another and our world. Students are taught a curriculum of self-control. This proactive approach enables the resolution of minor issues, and provide the occasion for individual and group feedback that may serve to deescalated a situation or concern, and afford the young person to make better choices.
| The Rainbow Fish - A Lesson in Friendship
From learningtogive.org: The Rainbow Fish by Marcus Pfister is the story of a beautiful fish that is unique because he has silver scales all over his body. The other fish are impressed by his beauty and want one of his scales. He does not want to share and consequently the fish do not play with him. Confused, he seeks a solution from the other ocean life. The advice was, "Give a glittering scale to each of the other fish, then you will discover how to be happy." While he was reluctant at first, he discovered that the advice was correct.
In November, at Our Lady of Peace School, all students participated in this lesson of friendship. Kindergarten and seventh grade students put on the play of the Rainbow fish for the entire student body. Then older students were paired with younger students for a rainbow fish art project, during which they had time to socialize and become friends. |
