Dear Parents and Guardians / A Thuismitheoirí agus a Chaomhnóirí,

New School

Yesterday we met with the architect from the OPW overseeing the new build and visited the site. Although they are about a week behind the scheduled plan, the progress is great and brickwork has begun, and the site is huge!

GAA KITS – We are still missing many kits, please return them to the office asap. Thank you.

The school will close for the Christmas holidays on Tuesday 22^nd December at 12 noon and re-open on Wednesday 6^th January 2016.

Our School Calendars are available for sale every morning in the yard. The 100^thand 150^th person to buy a calendar will win a small prize.

Congratulations to Ruben in 4^th class who performed in the Bord Gáis Theatre on Monday evening and will be appearing in ‘Oliver’ in January in the National Concert Hall!

Frása na Seachtaine:  “Conas atá tú? Tá mé ar fheabhas!” – How are you? I am great!

Ríona and 2^nd class have blown us away with their Act of Thoughtfulness by giving each child in Junior and Senior Infants a bag a of magic reindeer food to sprinkle outside their house to light up the way for Santa’s reindeers!
