Principal Newsletter
From the Desk of Mrs. Riley
December 9, 2021
Dear Parents,
As we approach the Third Sunday of Advent, how are we preparing for Christmas? Here are some ideas of things you can do as a family during Advent to prepare for the birth of our Lord on Christmas.
- Pray more - Pray the rosary daily or read the Bible together.
- Go to Mass more often - Read the Mass readings daily, go to Mass in person on Sunday and online during the week.
- Go to confession - This is one of the best ways to prepare our hearts.
- Make an Advent wreath.
- Create a new Advent family tradition.
There are many ways to prepare our hearts and minds for Christmas. No matter what you do, remember the reason you are preparing.
Here are some important school updates and reminders:
- The Santa Shoppe will now take place on Thursday, December 16th. Many thanks to the PIE members for their flexibility and sacrifices in making this event a reality! Please send your child to school with their Santa Shoppe envelope on the 16th.
- Picture retakes have been rescheduled for Wednesday, January 26th. Graduation pictures will also take place on this day.
- Continuous Enrollment has begun! All families should have received this letter via email. Please note the deadline for confirming your seat for next year.
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
