Happy Retirement Ms. Pat! 💜👑

After 28 years of dedicated service to Archbishop Damiano School, we are celebrating the retirement of a truly special educator.

Known for her kindness, patience, creativity, and love of music, Ms. Pat has touched the lives of countless students, families, and colleagues throughout her remarkable career. Her warm smile and gentle spirit have made a lasting impact on our school community, and her presence will be deeply missed.

Our Sunshine Committee organized a surprise retirement parade, giving students and staff the opportunity to celebrate her, share their appreciation, and wish her well as she begins this exciting new chapter.

🥪❤️ Making a difference, one sandwich at a time!

Our final monthly collection of the school year was dedicated to sandwich making for our friends at The Unforgotten Haven. We are incredibly proud of our students for using the skills they practice every day to give back to others in a meaningful way.

Through teamwork, responsibility, and compassion, our students helped prepare PB&J sandwiches that will be distributed to individuals and families in need throughout the community.

Thank you to The Unforgotten Haven for your partnership and for providing our students with the opportunity to learn the importance of service, kindness, and helping others.

✨ A dream five years in the making is now a reality✨

Yesterday, we proudly celebrated the ribbon cutting of The Gaudreau Brothers’ Wings of Hope and The Chrysalis Corner Adaptive Playground — a space created to ensure that all of our students have the opportunity to play, learn, explore, and grow together.

This incredible project was made possible through the unwavering generosity of our donors, dedicated volunteers, and valued community partners. Your support helped transform a vision of inclusion and accessibility into a reality that will positively impact students for years to come.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the celebration and helped mark this special milestone. Together, we have created more than a playground — we have created a place where every child can belong, thrive, and make lasting memories.

✂️🎀 What a day! Our Playground Ribbon Cutting Celebration was a huge success filled with smiles, excitement, and laughter as we officially honored this incredible new space for our students.

Let the Music Shine ☀️🎶

ADS Field Day 2026 was filled with music, laughter, and excitement as students enjoyed a day packed with music-themed indoor and outdoor sensory activities, rides, delicious treats, visits with animals at the petting zoo, and special mini concerts that kept the celebration going all day long.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who helped make this event such a success. We are especially grateful to our dedicated Field Day Committee for their thoughtful planning and coordination, our amazing staff for ensuring a fun and safe experience for all, our Kindness Kitchen for preparing and serving lunch to everyone with help from our students in the work program, along with Skelly's Amusements and Farm Friends LLC for their continued partnership providing rides and the petting zoo for this event.

We also extend our sincere appreciation to our volunteer friends from Gloucester Catholic for generously sharing their time and energy, and to our talented musical performers whose performances brought this year’s theme to life and added so much joy to the celebration.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to making this year’s Music-Themed Field Day a truly unforgettable experience! 🎵💙🦋
