Principal Newsletter
From the Desk of Mrs. Riley
March 28, 2019
Dear Parents,
Happy Spring Fling Auction Week!! We are just days away from our 1st Annual Spring Fling Auction Night which is sold out! Thank you to our amazing PIE organization for all of their hard work in making this event a reality. Many thanks to the faculty and staff who have worked on class projects for Auction items. Our thanks as well to all of our families, parishioners, and community members for all of their generous donations. We are looking forward to "partying with a purpose."
Here are a few important school happenings:
- A special newsletter will be sent out today regarding After School Events. Your input is important as we look to plan for next school year. Please take the time to complete the survey which will close on Thursday, April 11, 2019.
- Students in Grades 5 - 8 will participate in Safe 2 Say Something Training. This is a state wide mandated school safety program that teaches students, teachers and administrators how to recognize the signs of individuals at risk of hurting others or themselves and how to report this information. Please refer to a letter that was sent home on January 23, 2019 for more information. This training will take place on Monday, April 1, 2019 in school.
- Terra Nova testing will conclude tomorrow. Make up testing for those who were absent will be held next Monday and Tuesday.
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
