NEWSLETTER 28th February 2017

CHOIR:  This is the time of year when we ask children to “give something back” and make themselves available to support their fellow pupils through participation in the school choir.  We have three ceremonies over the coming months (see below) and we ask parents to commit that their children will attend on those dates.  The forms went home yesterday (Monday).

First Penance:   Tuesday, March 14th @ 7 pm.

Confirmation:      Thursday, April 6th @ 2 pm.

First Eucharist:  Saturday, May 20th @ 11.30 am. (time to be confirmed).

FIRST PENANCE / EUCHARIST:  Children baptised outside the parish should provide the school with a copy of their baptismal cert.

CYCLING COURSE:  Children from 4th class had their first cycle safety training session yesterday.  There are 6 sessions in all and the feedback is very positive.

HOMEWORK CLUB:  No homework club next Wednesday (March 8th) due to staff meeting.

ZIM DAY:  Well done to everyone for a fantastic day on Friday 17th.  Ms. Cotter would like to thank children, staff, parents, grandparents and friends for their generosity and hard work.  A special word of thanks to Ms. Kiernan, Mrs. Hurley and their classes for their very hard work and for being such great shopkeepers.  The day raised a record €2,200.  This money will be put to very good use at Assisi High School in Zimbabwe.
