Principal Newsletter
From the Desk of Mrs. Riley
September 21, 2023
Dear Parents,
This coming Wednesday, September 27th, our 8th grade students will have the opportunity to sit for a Collaborative Scholarship Test. They may use their scores to qualify for scholarships to Archdiocesan high schools, as well as consideration for participation in the Neumann Scholar program. The test will be administered in school during the morning session. Please keep them in your prayers as they begin the journey of readying themselves for the next step in their educational journey.
Tomorrow, our school students will take place in their first Prayer Buddy activity of the new school year. They will be listening to the Scribble Stones, a story about bringing joy in the oddest places. They will then be painting stones to assist in the creation of a rock garden. We hope that this garden brings happiness to all who visit it!
Here are a few school updates and reminders:
- Hot lunch will begin on Monday, October 2nd. A special lunch ordering newsletter was sent out to school families on Monday, September 18th. Please read through it carefully. Lunch orders are due by Tuesday, September 26th.
- Next Thursday, 9/28 will be our first $1 Dress Down Day. Please refer to the Handbook for appropriate attire criteria.
- Next Friday, 9/29, will be our September Community Homeroom. We will be celebrating our September birthdays. Parents are invited to attend. Entrance will be at the gym doors which will open at 8:20 AM.
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
