October 4, 2018
Dear Parents,
What a fun and exciting week at Our Lady of Good Counsel School!! Just in case you have not seen our Kelly's Classroom video, the link is posted below. Be sure to tune in to Fox 29 this Saturday and Sunday between 7 and 9 AM as another segment of Kelly's Classroom that has not been seen will air. Please join us at First Friday Mass tomorrow at 9 AM. We will be installing the 2018-2019 Student Council Leadership Team and Homeroom Representatives, along with the Altar Server Executive Board.
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
