JUNIOR ENTREPRENEUR:
5th Class will showcase their work tomorrow (Friday) to mark the end of the Junior Entrepreneur Programme for this year.  It has been a wonderful experience for all involved and thanks to Ms. Hayden for all her work over the past few months.  As part of the occasion we will raise the J.E.P.  flag which was presented to the group.  Kilkenny people will be very happy with the colours!

SOCCER SUCCESS:
Congratulations to the St. Anne’s U.12 team and their mentors who completed the cup and league double by winning a very dramatic cup final after a penalty shoot-out against Crettyard on Monday.

BALLYLINAN PARENTS ASSOCIATION SPONSORED WALK:
To help fund the various events organised by the association throughout the year a sponsored walk will be held at the school on Tuesday, May 30th.  The walk is for children and will be held on school grounds during school time.  Each family will receive a sponsorship card and we ask people to be as generous as possible.

JUNIOR INFANTS SEPTEMBER 2017:
A meeting for parents of children starting school in September will be held on Tuesday May 23rd at 2.15 pm. at the school.

TRAVEL SURVEY:
On Monday each child from 1st – 6th class will bring home a travel questionnaire.  We ask that parents fill it in (one per child – sorry for the duplication) and return it to the school by Friday 13th.  It will take only a few minutes of your time to complete.  Thank you for your co-operation.
