Dear Parents and Guardians / A Thuismitheoirí agus a Chaomhnóirí,

Fáilte arais arís! Well done to everyone for the fabulous Proclamation Day celebrations and thanks to 5^th class for their excellent play about the Easter Rising. Thank you to the Salem family who gave the school a 1916 Commemoration Coin, go raibh míle maith agat!  This very special momento of our Proclamation Day celebration will be displayed in our new school along with the 6^th class childrens’ proclamation for Ireland 2016.
