Principal Newsletter
From the Desk of Mrs. Riley
May 30, 2019
Dear Parents,
As we celebrate the Ascension of our Lord, may we follow Him for his Ascension is our glory and our hope!
It is so hard to believe that we have come down to the last week of school! This year has flown by so quickly! What a wonderful school year it has been! We really do need to count our blessings for all the good that has come our way. This will be the final Principal Newsletter of the 2018-2019 school year. If you are returning next year, you will receive an end of school letter along with teacher assignments for the 2019-2020 school year next Friday, June 7. If you are leaving the OLGC school community, I wish you all the best and may God bless you always.
On behalf of Father Suskey and the faculty and staff of Our Lady of Good Counsel School, I would like to take this opportunity to wish each of you are very safe, fun, and relaxing summer!
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
