Principal Newsletter

Dear Parents,
The 3rd annual "Race for Education" was a grand success! The first ever Color Run was an even bigger success! The faculty, staff and students celebrated not only a successful fundraiser, but all that we have accomplished this year. The students are eagerly talking about making this an annual tradition. As of today, we have raised almost $28,000! A huge thank you to all of our school families and donors for their continued support of Our Lady of Good Counsel School!! Donations can still made online up until this Saturday.
On Sunday, May 16th, our Virtual Spring Open House and Art Show will be released at 11:30 AM. Please take a moment to take a tour and share with family, friends and anyone interested in learning more about our school.
In lieu of Spirit Day, this year we will celebrate Spirit Week. Students will be enjoying many of the same activities they normally do during the final week of gym classes. On Thursday, May 27th, Spirit Week will conclude with a free pizza lunch for the entire school!
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

Fall Auction (3rd Annual) - Parent Help Needed!
Planning for our 3rd Annual Fall Auction, our biggest parent fundraiser of the year, will be starting this summer. To get an idea of basket donations and business sponsorships, P.I.E. has pulled together the Signup Genius below.
Although the actual baskets/donations/ad payments won’t be due until the Fall, we need an idea of what families might be interested in donating before the summer.
Please take a look and fill in how you can help! Thank you!!!

2021-2022 Social Event Volunteers
We are in the process of preparing for our school social events for next calendar year 2021-2022. We are looking forward to being able to have fun as a school community! As we prepare, we are in need of parent volunteers to help coordinate and support these events. Each event will need at least 1 - 2 parents to chair/coordinate and an additional 3 - 4 parents to support on the day of the event with volunteering and clean up.
Events cannot happen without parent support!!! If there are any events that have zero signups, we will unfortunately have to remove the event from the calendar.
Thank you in advance for your support and please see the Signup Genius below.
