Principal Newsletter
From the Desk of Mrs. Riley
April 28, 2022
Dear Parents,
Is it really spring?! It certainly doesn't feel that way. However, let's hold on to this: "No winter lasts forever, no spring skips its turn." Thank you to all of our current and prospective families who attended this year's Spring Open House. It was so wonderful to welcome our new families and welcome back our current families after a trying two years! We have much to celebrate!!
Here are a few school updates:
- Tomorrow morning, our Principal for the Day, will take over my duties. If you drop your children off to school in the morning, she will be out there to greet you!
- Please keep our 7th and 8th grade students in your prayers as the head to the Shrine of Our Lady of Czestochowa in Doylestown next Wednesday for a retreat. A NET Ministries team will be leading the retreat. They consist of ten young people who have taken a year off from work or school to travel the country and spread the Gospel. We are blessed once again to have them join us.
- Our Race for Education email contest is underway. We encourage every student to obtain at least one sponsor. If every student raises $100 we will surpass this year's goal. Please keep sending in your email addresses. The contest ends on May 12th. Many thanks to all of those who have already donated!
Thank you for your constant support and prayers for our school. I encourage you to continue to support our work as we advance our mission to provide a transformative education steeped in academics and faith to our deserving students. There is no greater investment for forming our future saints than a Catholic education!
Please carefully review this week's newsletter for many reminders and updates. We thank you for entrusting your children to us and for the sacrifices you make each day to send your child(ren) to Our Lady of Good Counsel Catholic School.
God's peace,
Mrs. Barbara Riley
Principal
