We are delighted to announce that our annual Scholastic Book Fair is back after a three-year hiatus! Our last Book Fair took place in March 2020 just before schools were closed in Ireland due to COVID 19. The Book Fair is moving to a new slot to allow for some literary Christmas purchases for family and friends. The Book Fair will be open from: 
Monday November 28th-Friday December 2nd. 
Times:  Open daily from 8:30-9:15a.m. and 1:30 p.m.-3:00p.m.  
Thursday Eve from 6:30 -8:00 pm.  

The commission received from the fair will go back into books for your son’s class library and our school library. For every euro spent we will receive 60c back in books for our school. We will also purchase new sets of class novels. 

This event is always really popular with pupils and families. Our 5th & 6th class buddies will enjoy sharing a reading session with their Junior and Senior Infant buddies in the hall. All classes will have an opportunity to visit the fair during the week. It is another opportunity to welcome families back into our school hall once more. 

A huge thank you to our Library Team of parents and our PA who will be working at the book fair all week. Payment may be made by cash or card. 
We look forward to seeing you there. 
Annette Lynch (Deputy Principal) 

COVID-19

Unfortunately, Covid-19 is prevalent in our local area again. If your son is sick, please keep him at home. As a general rule, if your child needs calpol or similar, they should not attend school. 

SCIENCE WEEK

We are celebrating Science Week in school this week. Boys are busy learning all about the world around us. Thank you to Mr. Mc Evoy and Ms. Hynes for facilitating the week. 

SAFETY, HEALTH AND WELFARE 

For the safety, health and welfare of your child, please refrain from letting him play in the trees before and after school. 

FAMILY MASS GROUP 

The Family Mass Group is back! Choir practice takes place in Parish Centre 7-7:45pm on Thursdays, for 10am mass on Sundays. There is also an opportunity for the children to participate in Prayers of the Faithful and a Gospel story, if they wish to do so. 

We are actively looking for children to join the existing group. It’s a great opportunity to gain confidence and even public speaking skills.
Come along to the Parish Centre any Thursday evening at 6.45pm to register and join in or contact Paula Davy davypaula@icloud.com for more information. 

A reminder also to classes receiving the Sacraments this year, you must register with the parish office if you would like to participate in Communion or Confirmation.
