Principal Newsletter
From the Desk of Mrs. Riley
May 2, 2019
Dear Parents,
As we kick off the month of May, I am awestruck at how quickly this year has passed! Our final month of school is filled with action packed days. Please join us tomorrow as we honor our Blessed Mother with our May Procession. The procession will begin at 10:15 and Mass at 10:30.
Thank you to all those families who participated in our Event Survey which was sent out a few weeks ago. This coming Monday, a special Event Survey newsletter will be sent out to our school families. This survey requests additional information before final decisions are made for next year. Please take the time to complete the survey as your input is most important as we look to move forward. This survey will be open for one week. Final results and decisions made for next year will be released prior to the closing of school.
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
