Easter Raffle: All cards whether full, partly full or not filled are to be returned to the school no later than Wednesday the 6th of April. Thank you.
Family Mass: The April family mass will take place this Saturday the 2nd of April at 8pm. As per usual all families are encouraged to attend.
Cumann na mBunscol: We wish all our boys and girls the very best over the coming weeks as they represent the school in hurling and camogie. Many thanks to our parents who give voluntarily of their time on Wednesday evenings to help out. The boys will not have a game until after the Easter break. The girls are also due to play Kilcormac NS but a date has not yet been finalised for this. It may now take place after the Easter break. As soon as I know more, I will let you know. On Thursday the 7th of April we will be playing Carrig NS in Carrig at 1pm. A bus has been organised for this and the girls will be back in school in time to go home as they usually do.
Computer Coding: Our 4th to 6th classes will do an 8 week block of computer coding beginning on Thursday the 28th of April. Míle buíochas to our Board of Management and Parents Association for funding this really worthwhile exercise.
Art Project: The whole school is currently working with artist Jennifer Comer in creating a collaborative mosaic as part of the BLAST project. Many thanks to Ms. Murphy for organising all of this for the boys and girls. Already the children’s creative works look very impressive.
Casual Day: Friday the 8th of April will be a Casual Day. Children can bring in a donation if they so wish. This is in aid of the Children’s Hospital, Crumlin.
Parents Association Table Quiz: The Parents Association have organized a Table Quiz to take place in the Ramblers Rest, Killyon on Friday the 22nd of April at 9pm. All families are encouraged to attend and to support the quiz. For the past two years we have had our movements really curtailed. We have had no Christmas Show, no matches etc and as a school community it has been difficult to meet up. For you as parents this marks an opportunity to come together, mingle and chat one another. This is an important aspect of any community. So, as well as supporting the fundraiser, I do ask you to come along and as parents have a bit of friendly banter on the night. We all need to do that now and again. It is something we encourage in the children here, so we ask you to make that effort too. The Parents Association look forward to seeing you on the night.
On behalf of all the staff, I would like to wish you and your families all a happy and enjoyable Easter.
