Principal Newsletter
From the Desk of Mrs. Riley
March 10, 2022
Dear Parents,
Report Cards will be distributed this coming Monday and we have begun the final trimester of the 2021-2022 school year. The final trimester brings the Easter holiday, the Sacraments of Penance, Holy Eucharist and Confirmation, the return of spring uniforms, the May Procession, our Spring Open House and the Graduation of our Kindergarten and 8th grade classes. This will be an incredibly busy time!
During such busy times, it is often difficult to keep our students centered on school work. "Spring Fever" sets in and thoughts of summer fill our heads. It is important to continue to remind our students how important it is to finish strong. Teachers will be trying innovative lesson plans and hands on projects to keep students engaged and having fun. Here are some ways you can help at home:
- Continue to help your child stay organized.
- Support healthy eating and sleeping habits to maintain their energy and stamina.
- Encourage them to stay engaged with school work as well as outside activities in a balanced way.
- Tell them how proud you are of them for all the hard work they have done so far.
- Reinforce the importance of not quitting before the job is finished...finish strong!
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
