Dear Parents,

I would like to take this time to invite all of our school families to join us for our annual Race for Education which will take place tomorrow at Warminster Park. Please come out and support our school as we work to raise funds for our new STEM Lab set to open in the fall. Students should wear school gym uniform shorts and their Spirit Day T-shirts. They should also bring a water bottle to school. Permission slips must be returned in order for students to participate. The schedule is listed below.

As we look to plan for next school year, a link is attached for a second School Event Survey. It is important that all school families participate in this survey, as the results will serve as the planning tool for next's years events. This survey will only be open for one week. Thank you in advance for your participation!
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
