Principal Newsletter
From the Desk of Mrs. Riley
February 27, 2020
Dear Parents,
On Ash Wednesday, we began our Lenten journey. So often we focus on what we can give up and not so much on what we can give. We are encouraging our students to give of themselves and share their time, talent, and skills with others. During Lent, one small act of kindness can bring us closer to God. Simple acts kindness can bring great joy! It is this season of penance, reflection, and fasting that will prepare us for the resurrection of Jesus on Easter Sunday!
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
