early Christmas shopping.
LIBRARY
AND PURCHASES
We
are delighted to announce that the fully computerised school
library will re-open on Monday 26th November. Thanks
to Wendy who has painstakingly re-catalogued every single book.
Thanks also to the Board of Management for funding the new
computer software and the PTA who funded the computer to operate
the new library.
Thanks also
to the Board for funding the new interactive whiteboard which is
being installed into sixth class today and to the PTA who
purchased a lap-top for Mr. Malseed to operate the website and
the whiteboard.
We will host
a viewing session of the interactive whiteboard when it is
operational.
The PTA also
kindly funded a new TV for first and second class.
OPERATION
CHRISTMAS CHILD
Well
done to Mrs. Kathy Malseed and her team in 4th Class
who organised the shoe boxes. Thanks to all of you who donated
the boxes. I believe there were less than last year but with a
total of 183 it was very impressive to me and will make a
difference to the children.
CHRISTMAS
FAIR
Please
check the schoolbags for a note and raffle tickets for the
Christmas Fair. We look forward to seeing you on Saturday 1st
December.
THIS WEEK
We
welcome the Dance Theatre of Ireland to our school today who are
holding a workshop for 3rd to 6th Class.
This day is being funded by an existing Arts Grant in the school
accounts.
4th
Class will be visiting the National History Museum on Friday as
part of their History Curriculum.
HAIR
For
the prevention of head lice and the safety and well-being of the
children we request that all children with long hair please have
their hair tied back.

Many
thanks for all your support on non-uniform day before
half-term. A total of €538 has been donated to the Longamere
