Principal Newsletter
From the Desk of Mrs. Riley
December 17, 2020
Dear Parents,
The Christmas spirit comes in many forms but the source of our Christmas joy remains the same...the birth of our Savior. As I walked around the building on this last day before Christmas break, it was very easy to become filled with feelings of comfort and joy. From seeing our faculty and students donning "ugly" sweaters, the beautifully lit OLGC family Christmas tree, the nativity scene set up in the gym and Corby Claus visiting students, the wonder and excitement of this season fills our school. It is time for a break and time to celebrate with our families the wonders of Jesus' love. On behalf of Father Suskey and the faculty and staff of Our Lady of Good Counsel School may you and your families have a very Merry Christmas and may the love and peace of the birth of our Savior bring you much happiness and many blessings in the New Year!
School will reopen on Monday, January 4, 2021. I continue to ask that you be cautious with social distancing and following COVID safety guidelines in social situations, as well as the travel guidelines. The safe environment of our school is directly linked to safe practices followed at home. It is because of how well our families have done in these areas over the past four months, that we have had so much success!
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
