Dear Parents/ Guardians,
This
week is “Green School Action Week” with a full
schedule of activities happening throughout the school
involving all classes. Mrs. Kavanagh and the Green
School committee of pupils, parents and teachers have
devised a series of activities and events including a
visit to Recycling 2000 and Killurin Landfill for 6th
,a workshop on recycling through art with
Gerry Foran for 5th and a trip to the
J.F.K.Park for willow weaving for 4th. Other
classes will plant bulbs, seeds and most importantly
keep the school litter free!
Chairman
of Wexford Co. Council, Mr. Denis Kennedy will plant
apple trees on Thursday at 10am. The apple trees will be
planted behind the benches near the perimeter wall. It
is hoped that the fruit will be eaten as by the children
for “fruit break”.
The Green motto devised by a group from 6th class is:
Rethink!....
Reduce
Reuse
Recycle
Return
….Result!
The Green School folder is being submitted this week and we hope it will
lead to a Green
Flag before the end of this school year.
