Principal Newsletter
From the Desk of Mrs. Riley
June 9, 2022
Dear Parents,
Last night we celebrated the Graduation of our 8th Grade Class! We wish them all the very best as they embark on their new adventure in high school. As they enter an uncertain and thrilling time of their lives, may they always stay close to God and know that he always walks with them.
This is a reminder that tomorrow is the last day of school. Dismissal is at 10:30 AM. Dismissal will be parent pick up for students riding Centennial, Neshaminy and Council Rock buses. If you have a student whose last name begins with the letters A - L, please park adjacent to the school gym. If you have a student whose last name begins with the letters M - Z, please park adjacent to the Church or rectory. Upper Moreland, Lower Moreland, and Abington will provide transportation. There will be NO PM CARES. Please see below for the End of Year Letter.
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

Social Events: 2022-2023 School Year
We are in the process of preparing for our social events for the upcoming 2022 - 2023 school year. We are looking for parent volunteers to help chair/coach events. Each event is truly a TEAM effort!!
Every event will need at least 2 parents to act as coaches/chairs and an additional 3 to 4 parents (team members) to support the event. The support could be volunteering on the day of with set up, assisting with different duties throughout the event and clean up. Our events have had some wonderful chairs who have shared their notes on running a successful event so there is great information to help support you.
Events CAN NOT HAPPEN without parent support!!! If there are any events that have no signups, we will unfortunately have to cancel the event and remove it from the Social Event calendar. For now, we are just looking for volunteers that would be interested in chairing/coaching an event as we begin our planning phases for next year. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you are interested or have any questions. Thank you for all of your help!
