Dear Parents,
What a wonderful Catholic Schools Week!! It was so edifying to see so many current and new families at our Open House on Sunday! We hope you enjoyed spending time with your children in class on Monday! Look for pictures of our "Wax Museum" to be posted today.
Please join us for Mass tomorrow at 9:00 AM as we conclude this year's celebration with a tribute to our faculty and staff. I am eternally grateful for the amazing group of educators we have and all the sacrifices they make for our school and your children. We are a truly blessed school community!
Here are a few school updates:
- I continue to work diligently to find a leader for our PAC (Performing Arts) Program. I am currently working with Bucks County Community College and the Bucks County Playhouse to find the right person to lead the program. If you also know anyone who may be interested, please reach out.
- I have been asked by several parents about our plans for the Superbowl. School will be open for a regular day on Monday, February 13th. However, we will make that day a Dress Down Day. Should the Eagles win the Superbowl, school will be closed on the day of the Parade.
- Thank you to so many of you who donated to our annual Day of Giving! There is still time if you have not had a chance. Please see below for more details.
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
