Dear parents, carers, staff and friends,
News this week
Last Sunday, we had our final Family Mass of the year, led by our lovely First Communion children. The children made us very proud with their excellent reading and singing. Fr. Pat also joined us at school for an end-of-year prayer service for the older children on Thursday.
On Tuesday morning, we had our ‘Time to Read’ wrap-up session and celebration. Eight children from 2nd Class took part in this special reading programme for 20 weeks this year, with a volunteer adult reader from ‘Business in the Community’. We were delighted to see so many families joining us to celebrate too!
Today, Ms. Graham’s Class visited the Natural History Museum and St. Stephen’s Green. Ms. Conlon’s 4th Class also visited the Hugh Lane Gallery and had a lovely time looking at the beautiful paintings there.
Tickets for Aladdin Jr.
Tickets are now on sale for our performance of Aladdin Jr. in Liberty Hall Theatre on 27th June. All of the children in 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th Class are involved. Tickets are being sold outside the Hall every morning before school.
Tickets are €5 for adults and €2 for children.
Please note – you cannot buy a ticket on the night – you must have one in advance. They are selling quickly, so please ensure you book yours in time!
Parents’ Association Raffle – Aladdin Jr.
Putting on a production in Liberty Hall is expensive. To help us raise funds to meet these costs, our Parents’ Association are holding a raffle. If you’d like to buy raffle tickets, they will be available in the morning from Laura, Ludmila and the parent team. Our thanks to them for their super organisation, we already have some great prizes!
