Principal Newsletter
From the Desk of Mrs. Riley
November 7, 2019
Dear Parents,
"On this Veterans Day, let us remember the service of our veterans, and let us renew our national promise to fulfill our sacred obligations to our veterans and their families who have sacrificed so much so that we can live free." Please join us tomorrow at 10:00 AM in the Gym, as we come together as a school community to honor our veterans both living and deceased.
Thank you to all of those who signed up at conferences to donate to our school Thanksgiving Drive sponsored by the National Junior Honor Society. Please remember that all donations are due by Friday, November 15th. Each grade has a turkey on display outside of their classroom. Students may purchase feathers for their class turkey for $1. The classroom with the most feathers will be treated to a pizza lunch party. These monetary donations will then be used to purchase turkeys to go along with the baskets. Thank you so much for your generous support to those in need.
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
