Dear
Parents
CHRISTMAS RAFFLE – PARENTS COMMITTEE
We will be
raffling two Christmas hampers on behalf of the Parents Committee as a
fundraiser. Children may purchase
tickets at €2 each or three for €5 each morning up to Friday 18th
December 2020. We would appreciate your
support. Thank you to McCarthy’s Londis
for sponsoring the hampers.
CHRISTMAS PERFORMANCE FROM EACH CLASS
We planned to record a Christmas
Performance from each class and the practice to date has been compliant with
DES reopening of schools guidelines. We
have all enjoyed the preparation, however, we have now decided to perform each
piece outdoors which unfortunately is not conducive to recording. Each class will perform their piece for
another class in the playground next week (weather permitting).
We will have a ‘Christmas Jumper’ day on
tomorrow Friday, December 11th and our beneficiary will be Air
Ambulance in Millstreet. Children can
bring €2 or any donation for this worthy cause.
ELF EXPRESS
On Thursday, 3rd December,
Junior and Senior Infants classes received a visit from Elf Express. Two elves visited the three classrooms and
the children really enjoyed their performance. They were all delighted to find
out that they were all on the ‘Good’ list and each received a certificate. However the elves did say that as we were
still a bit away from Christmas they would still need to be on their best
behaviour. We have booked an online performance of ‘A Christmas Carol’ for
Friday,18th December for the 1st-6th Class. We
thank the Parents Committee for making these possible.
CREDIT UNION ART COMPETITION
Prizewinners for the Credit Union art
competition were Marcelina Nowak (6th class) came 1st in
her category and will go forward to the Chapter final of the competition. Ryan Thompson (3rd class) came 3rd
in his category. Both Marcelina and Ryan
received a trophy. Class winners were
Patrycja Duda, (Senior Infants), Robyn Daly (2nd Class) and Rachel
McAuliffe (5th class). The
theme was “Imagine More”. We
congratulate all our winners and to everybody who took part. Well done.
LOCAL ST. VINCENT dePAUL FOOD APPEAL
The local St.
Vincent de Paul wish to acknowledge and express their sincere thanks to
everyone who so generously donated food to their recent appeal. All the food will be put into hampers and
these will be given to needy families in our community over the Christmas
period. They also wish to remind you
that they will be having a Drive – Thru Church Gate collection on next Sunday
13th December from 1.30pm to 2.30pm
