Time to Read Launch
This morning we launched our ‘Time to Read’ programme. We have been selected by ‘Business in the Community’ as their school partner for this year. The company, who support businesses to engage with their local communities, is based on O’Connell Street. Each week from now on, they will send four volunteers to read with eight lucky 2nd Class children. These children will benefit from having someone to read to them on a one-to-one basis with specially chosen books to help promote a love of reading. The children will also have an opportunity to visit the Ilac library and the ‘Business in the Community’ offices. To find out more about the ‘Time to Read’ programme, have a look at their flyer:

Visit of the Sam Maguire
There was huge excitement this morning with the unexpected arrival of the Sam Maguire with some of the Dublin team. Dublin recently won the All-Ireland Gaelic Football Championships and the ‘Sam Maguire’ is the very famous trophy awarded to the champions.
We all gathered in the hall, gave our best rendition of ‘Molly Malone’ with three cheers for the team and had our photos taken with the cup. A very exciting morning!
Sponsored Harvest Disco
All children received a letter and sponsor form this week for our Harvest Disco next Friday. We are hoping to raise lots of money for our school so we can buy new furniture and resources. We are asking all families to ask their friends and neighbours to contribute something small. For families who celebrate Hallowe’en, children may dress up for the disco. For families who don’t celebrate, children can wear their own clothes to school. If you’d like another sponsor form, please ask your child’s class teacher or see Liz in the office. Let’s get fundraising!
