May 2023
ates for your Diary:
Monday the 1st of May: Bank Holiday school closed.
Wednesday the 17th of May: Open Evening for incoming Junior Infants
Saturday the 27th of May: First Holy Communion at 11am
Thursday the 25th of May: Clothes Collection fundraiser
Standardised Attainment Tests: Standardised Testing will take place for pupils from 2nd to 6th class this month and into next month. Senior infants and 1st class will also engage in early literacy and numeracy screening tests in the coming weeks.
First Holy Communion: We wish all the boys and girls in 2nd class all the best on their big day which takes place on Saturday the 27th of May at 11am.
Cumann na mBunscol: We wish our camogie and hurling teams all the very best of luck as they take part in their respective camogie and hurling blitzes/matches over the next couple of weeks. The boys and girls have shown great dedication in practicing their skills each lunchtime. To date they have played three challenge matches, recording victories over Edenderry NS and Dromakeenan NS (5th class team) while they were defeated by Kinnitty NS. In all games boys and girls got an opportunity to play. While this was possible in challenge matches, (this is why these games were organised), it maybe not possible to give everyone game time in these competitive games. Your understanding is fully expected in this regard. Thank you.
School Tours: Both tours will take place on Thursday the 22nd of June.
Junior Infants to 2nd Class: Glendeer Pet Farm. Cost of the tour is €20.
3rd – 6th Class: Lough Derg Water Park-Dromineer.

Well Being Week: You received an email from Ms. Murphy regarding our Well Being Week, which takes place this week. Míle buíochas to Ms. Murphy and the Well Being committee for organising this week. We will all no doubt benefit from taking a little time to tend to all our well-being.
Athletics:Well done to all our boys and girls (1st -4th) who took part in the recent Inter Schools Athletics competition. It was wonderful to see them cheering on one another in the various events – there was great team spirit on display. Congratulations to the boys and girls who have qualified for the County Finals Day which will be held in Tullamore, later this month.
