Principal Newsletter
From the Desk of Mrs. Riley
September 24, 2020
Dear Parents,
It is hard to believe that we are completing our 4th week of school! I pray that all of us continue to stay well and feel safe. Even though there have been many changes this school year, the one thing that has not changed is our commitment to our school mission. We continue to move forward in empowering our students.
Below are some important updates and reminders:
- There is a calendar change to bring to your attention. Friday, October 23rd will be a half day of school. School will dismiss at 11:45 AM and there will be NO PM CARES. This will allow our school faculty and staff to meet virtually with our Middle States Visiting Team at the end of their virtual visit.
- Our Virtual Auction begins tomorrow evening at 6 PM. This is our biggest fundraiser of the year. I would like to take this opportunity to thank those who worked so hard to transition this in person event to an online platform. A special thank you to the Auction Committee: Mrs. Murphy, Mrs. Moffat, Mrs. Hrycyszyn, and Mrs. Martin!!! None of this would be possible without their unwavering support, dedication and hard work. Please see below for details on this very special event.
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
