Principal's Newsletter
From the Desk of Mrs. Riley
January 11, 2024
Dear Parents,
We certainly can see many of God's blessings each day, even in the winter season. One of those greatest blessings is that of Our Lady of Good Counsel School. One of our favorite weeks of the school year is Catholic Schools Week and this year we will begin that celebration on Sunday, January 28th with our Open House. This year's theme is "OLGC School: Counsel has Character." Please see below for a brief list of the special events planned for the week.
Some school updates and reminders:
- School will be closed tomorrow Friday, January 12th and Monday, January 15th.
- Interim Reports will be distributed on Friday, January 26th.
- Graduation pictures and picture retakes will take place on Wednesday, January 24th.
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

5th Annual Spring Fling Auction
As the 5th Annual "Spring Fling" Auction night is quickly approaching, our P.I.E. Committee really needs your help to prepare for this large fundraising event! Without the generous support of our school families we wouldn’t have the fabulous prizes to win nor would this fun adult night out be possible!
Please sign up as soon as possible on the sign up genius so P.I.E. has an idea of how many baskets to expect for the big night. Each year we have had over 100 baskets and prizes to win…… let’s do it again!
5th Annual "Spring Fling" Auction SignUp Genius
Baskets should be dropped off at the Trinity Center on March 10th or 11th from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM.
Please see the attached letter for all the ways you can help make this Annual "Spring Fling" Auction possible! All proceeds benefit the students of our school. Tickets went on sale January 8th. Thank you as always!
