A Thuismitheoirí,
By now we are all well
settled back after the holidays and refreshed for the new year ahead! Well done

with dark shoes, no pink runners please!

This time last year we
collected over a tonne of batteries and earned €1000 for our school, thanks to
a whole school collection and major help from 3 very generous dads! This year
again we’re going to collect batteries so from tomorrow, please feel free to
send your child in with any used ones.
·
So to sum up, after
all the excitement before Christmas our pupils are back in class now working
towards the quiz and choir as above, some are participating in the Texaco art
competition and the Blue Star European project...plus our whole school theme
from now until February midterm break will be friendship and
anti-bullying.
Happy new year
everybody!
