Dear parents,
Here is some dates for your diary over the next number of weeks.
Parents Association Meeting:
Reminder of Parents Association Meeting on Tuesday evening next, November 13th in the school at 7.30 pm. This will be to organise the Bingo for the following Sunday and the more parents that can help out the better for all. If you cannot attend the meeting Tuesday but are available to assist with the Bingo please let us know.
Monster Bingo Fundraiser:
The Bingo takes place on Sunday afternoon, November 18th in the Community Hall at 3 pm. Can all families please make an extra effort to attend this fundraiser and also spread the word so we can maximise our attendance on the day. We have written out to many local businesses and school suppliers and have generated a good amount of sponsorship for the event so it is really important that we have a large crowd on the day to make all of this effort worthwhile. If any of you attend other Bingos can you please arrange for ours to be announced at those events.
(Please see reverse for other information on Parents Association funds etc)
Parent Teacher Meetings:
We will be having our school Parent Teacher Meetings on Thursday, November 22nd. As there is a large number in my own room I will be splitting the meetings over 2 evenings and will have some on Tuesday, November 20th as well as the Thursday. Appointment times for these will be sent out next week and as always, please let the teacher know if the appointment doesn't suit you.
Parish Christmas Carol Service:
The annual Parish Carol Service will take place this year on Tuesday, December 4th in Castlehaven Church at 7.30 pm. The children of the 2 schools in the parish will be taking part as always so please keep this date free if your child will be partaking.
School Christmas Concert:
We have decided this year to try out having our Christmas Concert over 2 evenings as there was such a large turnout at the event in recent years. We will have our lunchtime concert as always and this will take place on Monday, December 17th at 1 pm.
Then on Monday evening 1t 7 pm we will have the performance of the Junior Infants - Second Class show.
The concert for 3rd - 6th classes will take place on Tuesday, December 18th @ 7 pm.
Parents of 1st, 2nd & 3rd classes:
As you will be aware, Mr. O' Donovan has been out sick for the past few weeks and he will be out for the next few weeks also. We are lucky that Miss Megan O' Donovan is available to do most of the days as a substitute so there is continuity in the class. For this reason, there will not be Parent Teacher Meetings for this classroom on November 22nd and they will instead be arranged for after Christmas holidays. Of course if any parent feels that they need to arrange a meeting before then, please let us know.
Yours sincerely,
Brendan McCarthy
Principal
