Principal Newsletter
From the Desk of Mrs. Riley
October 3, 2019
Dear Parents,
October is here and the weather roller coaster ride continues!! I hope you are enjoying the plethora of forecasts that Mother Nature has shared with us.
We begin the month of October with the celebration of First Friday Mass tomorrow and the installation of our new Student Council for the 2019-2020 school year. Please join me in congratulating those members of our student body. We are looking forward to a year full of activities both fun filled and service oriented. Please join us for Mass tomorrow at 9:00.
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

Box Tops for Education - Program Update
Please help us to continue to earn free money for our school! Last year we received $950.00 for clipped Box Tops. Our goal this year is $1,250.00. Box Tops has redesigned the program to make earning free money for our school even easier with the Box Tops Scanning App.
*Box tops no longer need to be clipped from product packages.*
Scan your receipts through the Box Tops App on your phone or iPad to earn Box Tops electronically. After you take a picture of your receipt using the App hit the "STAR" and enter your family name. All children in the family will receive credit for the Box Top items purchased. We will receive monthly notification of your families earned Box Tops. A sample of the participating products can be found here: Box Tops Product List
However, when receipts are scanned the App will automatically identify the products, so you do not have to keep track of the items you purchase. For more information on how to earn Box Tops, please visit How to Earn - Box Tops.
Clipped Box Tops
For a limited time, paper box tops are still available. You may continue to clip and send them using a Box Tops collection sheet (such as this one Example of a Box Tops Collection Sheet) to obtain Box Tops credits for your family.
The clipped box tops will be added to your family's scanned total. Our Box Top contest for this year will be 200 Box Tops per family in order to receive a free Dress Down Day for your child(ren) at one of our Community Homerooms.
Each Box Top is worth ten cents. Thank you for supporting this very important fundraiser for our school!
