Dear
Parents:
·
Happy
Easter to you all.
·
We had a very successful National Spring
Clean Day cleaning our rooftop garden. A special thanks to Joy Fahy, Sharon
Goldie and David Corry who spent the morning weeding and painting in the
sunshine. The garden is ready now for the children to plant seeds after the
Easter holidays.
·
English classes continue in the Parents’ Room
every Tuesday morning from 9-10am.
·
There will be a Cyber Bullying Workshop with
Brendan Smyth taking place in school after Easter for parents and pupils . This
will be a very worthwhile experience and we are really encouraging you to
participate. Múinteoir Aoife will be in
touch after the holidays with more details.
·
Well done to all the parents and pupils in
Room 10 who are completing their Maths Eyes Booklets.
·
The next Parents Association meeting will
take place on Tuesday 29th of April at 1pm in the Parents Room
