Dear Parents,
Our 3rd Annual "Fall Fest Auction" was once again a tremendous success! I want to take this opportunity to thank all of our school families and parishioners for their support of this very important fundraiser. In particular, I want to offer a very special thank you to those parents who were instrumental in once again bringing this event to fruition! Your tireless work and commitment to Our Lady of Good Counsel School is praiseworthy! I am grateful for each and every one of you. No of this would be possible without your efforts!!! The final total raised will be released as soon as it is finalized.
Here are a few school updates:
- Our P.I.E. organization is looking for new members for the Auction Team! If you are interested, please send an email to olgcpie@olgc.org.
- School pictures are being sent home today.
- Wednesday, November 24th will be a half day for students. Dismissal will take place at 11:45 AM. There will be NO PM CARES. There will be bus transportation. School will be closed on Thursday, November 25th, Friday, November 26th and Monday, November 29th. School will reopen on Tuesday, November 30th.
Finally, on behalf of Father Suskey and the faculty and staff of Our Lady of Good Counsel School may the beauty and blessings of Thanksgiving bring warmth and peace to you and your families!
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

Earn Tuition Dollars - Buy Holiday Scrip Gift Cards
Consider our Scrip (gift card) Program for all your upcoming holiday shopping needs and earn tuition dollars as well! Did you know that many of our families earn on average of about $300 - $400 a year towards their tuition by purchasing scrip (gift cards) through our Scrip Tuition Savings Program?!? There is no cost to participate in the program. For every gift card purchase you earn a percentage of the sale towards a tuition credit for the same value.
We have one of the largest selection of gift cards available on hand to many of your favorite retailers with the ability to pre-order gift cards for Disney, Southwest and other travel, hotel and airline retailers. There is also an extended selection of gift cards when you link your account to our online affiliated ShopwithScrip.com website.
Earn even more tuition dollars by recommending the Scrip Program to your family and friends. They are able to purchase scrip (gift cards) and apply the savings to your family account. Family members in other parishes may also purchase at their parish and defer the credits to your account.

There are three convenient ways to purchase Scrip:
- Send an order in an envelope marked "SCRIP" with your child to school and the order will be filled within 1 to 2 days.
