Principal Newsletter
From the Desk of Mrs. Riley
January 13, 2022
Dear Parents,
In the words of Martin Luther King Jr., "Everybody can be great, because anybody can serve." As we come upon the MLK holiday on Monday, we continue to emphasize in school the importance of service in the daily lives of our students. Service is a reflection of the commitment of our students to living the Gospel. Students are demonstrating the values and faith they gain through their Catholic education and the impact they have on the community around them.
"Faith in action is love and love in action is service." Saint Teresa of Calcutta
Here are a few important school updates and reminders:
- Due to the continued cold temperatures, students may continue to wear their regulation gym uniforms through next week.
- Catholic Schools Week begins on Sunday, January 30th and ends on Friday, February 4th. Please look for a schedule of activities to be released next week.
- The Culture Project will return to OLGC School on Monday, January 24th. They will be giving a Social Media Presentation to our 7th and 8th grade students.
- 8th Grade Graduation Pictures, as well as Picture Retakes, will take place on Wednesday, January 26th.
- Second Trimester Interim Reports will be distributed to students on Friday, January 28th.
- In the event of a Snow Day, below you will find a Synchronous Virtual Class Schedule for students in Grades K - 8. Students will be expected to log on to class. Students not present will be marked absent.
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
