Principal Newsletter
From the Desk of Mrs. Riley
April 21, 2022
Dear Parents,
Happy Easter!! It is my hope that you and your family had a restful break and a blessed Easter! During this Easter season, may we grow in faith as a school community and may our hearts and homes be filled with many blessings. "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me, though he may die, he shall live."
Here are a few important school updates:
- Interim Reports will be distributed tomorrow. Please sign and return them to your child's teacher.
- Congratulations to Chloe M. and Luca C., two of our first graders, who received the sacrament of Baptism today!
- Tuesday, April 26th, is the Feast Day of Our Lady of Good Counsel. Our school will come together for a Prayer Service, activity and treat with our prayer buddies and an entire school photo on the steps of the Church. "Lord, through the intercession of Our Lady of Good Counsel, teach us to know your will and guide us in all we do."
- Good Luck to our Reading Olympics team as they compete this coming Wednesday after school!
- Race for Education information was sent home this week and each school family should have received an email with information. We are set for our Color Run on Friday, May 13th. As always, we are incredibly thankful for the support of our school community as we continue to move our mission forward.
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

The EITC program benefits both our school and you! The school receives 100% of the donor’s contribution while the donor benefits from a 90% tax credit from the State of PA and gets to redirect their PA tax dollars to Catholic education.
