All new after-school clubs will start this week.  There are still some places available in some activities.  See Claudia in the office to sign up. 

Congratulations to Margaret and Family

Congratulations to Margaret and her family on the birth of Aibhlinn at the end of December!

Open Evening

A reminder that the Open Evening for prospective parents will take place on Wednesday, 16th January from 18.30 to 20.00.  Please spread the word.  It is also very beneficial to have some parents present in addition to staff members to meet and greet and talk about our school.  Please let Matt know if you’d be willing to attend. 

Next PTA Meeting

The next Parent-Teacher Association Meeting will take place on Wednesday, 23rd January at 20.00.  Please join us!

Raffle Prizes

We are in the process of securing raffle prizes for the Spring Fair Raffle.  We’re looking for any help with this process.  Letters can be collected from Claudia to be given to potential donors.  We’d like to have all the prizes confirmed by the beginning of February.  Many thanks in advance for your assistance.

End-of-Term

Many thanks to everyone who contributed to make the end-of-term such a nice occasion.  Particular thanks to the teachers and children for their hard work in preparing for the assembly, for the parents who provided such fantastic food at the potluck and all the volunteers who helped set up and tidy the school.  The Museum of Objects will remain open for a couple more weeks, so please feel free to visit again at your convenience.

A big thank you to Nathan for going to Dublin to collect reusable plates, cups and cutlery for the school.  This will help us greatly reduce waste at potlucks and the Spring Fair and supports our work towards achieving a Green Flag.  A big thank you to the team of parents who did all the washing up after the potluck!
