Principal Newsletter
From the Desk of Mrs. Riley
October 6, 2022
Dear Parents,
The sun is finally back! What a wild weather week it has been! Happy October and month of the Rosary. Our classes are celebrating this special month with a variety of activities in class. This month offers the perfect opportunity to share some time with your children praying the rosary completely or a decade at a time in your home.
Here are some school reminders and updates:
- The lunch menu for November opens tomorrow on Hotlunch.com. The deadline for ordering is October 27th. This is a reminder that the family lunch fee is now due.
- This year Our Lady of Good Counsel School will be holding a Thanksgiving Pie Sale from Solly Brothers Farm. Order forms will be sent home next week.
- School is closed on Monday, October 17th as our Faculty participates in a district wide Professional Development Day.
- Our Pre-K students will head to Solly Brothers Farm for a field trip tomorrow.
- Please join us tomorrow at First Friday Mass at 9:00 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

Basket Drop Off Nights are tonight and tomorrow which means our 4th Annual "Fall Fest" Auction is right around the corner!!!
Check out the delicious menu you will enjoy on November 5th at Brookside Manor!
Tickets will be on sale for 8 more days. At that time, we will give Brookside Manor the headcount and finalize the seating chart. Tickets will not be sold at the door so make sure you get yours soon!
Please complete the ticket form (found on the school website) even if paying by Venmo or buying for a table of 10. Paddles for our LIVE and Silent Auction will be assigned by family name so we need the names of everyone attending the event.
Dress code for the evening is "dressy casual" - think attire you'd wear to a communion party/bridal shower at an event hall. No jeans, please.
