Thanks

• To Mr. Leahy for pillows and for fabric
• To Ms. Daly, of Celestica, who sourced office equipment, furniture, stationery and a television for our school.
• To Mr. Kiernan and Mr. Doyle who provided supervision during the swimming lessons.
• To Mr. and Mrs. Mc Kernan, and Mrs. Drinane who organised security and cups of tea/coffee on the evening of the Parent Teacher meetings
• To the parent who wishes to remain anonymous, but contributed over €800 to school funds. 
• The amount collected from the combined Jog/Reading Marathon was €7,727.91.  We are very grateful to the parents and pupils who supported these ventures. If there are parents/ pupils  who have mislaid their sponsorship cards, it is still very acceptable to send in a donation to school funds because the amount collected this year represents a decrease of 34% on last year’s figure.
