School FundraiserEvery year we run a sponsored Readathon as a school fundraiser. This is the only fundraiser which benefits the school and your children’s education. Last year we used the money raised towards the new garden beyond the hall. It has been a wonderful addition to the school and the children will continue to enjoy it for years to come. This year we will use the money to help keep the swimming lesson costs to €50 per child. The real cost of swimming plus the bus there and back is €110 per child. The children have a sponsorship card and are asked to set a target (more than they normally read) of reading a certain amount of books over a fortnight starting on Friday 21st and finishing on June 4th. They then seek sponsorship from friends / neighbours /relations to read extra. The infants should read extra books with their parents. Sponsorship money will be collected from Mon 24th to Fri 28th at 9am at reception by the Parents Association. The sponsorship cards will be stamped and returned to the teacher and will be used as a ticket to a “Thank You” disco in the school at the end of June. If the card is not returned the child cannot attend the disco.

School ToursSchool tours have been organized for every class by now. We have put great emphasis on finding a tour that is suitable, enjoyable and budget conscious. Please make sure you have paid the teacher and signed the permission form. FarewellOn Friday we say farewell to Louise Patterson who has worked in the Project Room for three years. Many parents have met her through after- school activities and holiday camps. We thank her for the wonderful contribution she has made to school and wish her well in her new position. |
