Summer Holidays!!
REMINDER: Tomorrow June 18th is Fun Day and children may wear their favourite jersey- They are in for a fun filled day of surprises from start to finish!!
Thank you to the Parents Association and the staff for organising a great sports day. The children had a well deserved fun day!! Below are all the photographs of our exciting day out!
A huge thank you also to the volunteers who have done much needed jobs around the school over the past few weeks. The school is looking great.
Fundraising:
We are currently planning to upgrade the I.T. in the school over the coming years. We are hoping to invest in laptops for the senior rooms, a class supply of tablets and to start investing in Interactive touch screens for the classrooms. The BOM emailed local businesses to help fundraise for the I.T and we were completely overwhelmed with the response.
On behalf of the BOM and school, thank you to Walsh and O’Mahony, Derry Crowley, Ross Oil, RCM Tarmacadam and to the donors who wish to remain anonymous, for giving so generously. We are so appreciative of your support. With the money that has been donated €2,850 , we will be able to purchase a class supply of tablets with covers and a laptop. The children will get huge benefits out of these.
Graduation:
Sixth class Graduation will take place on Monday, 21st of June, with a little party for 6th to celebrate afterwards. As parents cannot attend the ceremony, we were hoping that any parent who is available, might do a drive by of the school, to help celebrate the children’s 8 years in Ahiohill NS. This will happen at 12.45 pm. Parents can assemble in their cars at the Old House Cross (the cross just below where CARA Lodge is) and drive up past the school heading towards the village. Sixth class children are welcome to go home after this event. We will also put a powerpoint presentation together with photos and songs from the Graduation day for 6th class parents.
School reports:
School reports were posted yesterday and the incoming infants will receive their infant pack tomorrow. The school calendar and the book list for next year are enclosed with the reports. Expenses for the school year have been explained in the book list. One of the expenses is Book Rental. We hope to use this to invest in textbooks for the school over the coming years, therefore reducing the amount of books to be purchased by you every year.
