Congratulations

We send our warmest congratulations to Margaret and George Clarke who were married on Friday. We wish them many happy years together and are looking forward to seeing the photographs.

Fundraising

Given that government funding is not enough now to meet our school's expenses, we are grateful to those who have offered to fundraise on our behalf.  Hopefully there will be several fundraising events/activities taking place over the next few months and we hope that they will be well supported by both parents and children.

The first of these events will be our Annual Sponsored Unihoc evening which we have decided to return to its usual Autumn slot.  The Unihoc evening will take place on Thursday October 17th at 5 p.m.  

Details of other fundraising events to follow soon.

Senior Room Blog

Please take time to read the Senior Room Blog.  As part of our School Improvement work on writing, the children will be responsible for writing this every week and would love an audience for their work. Your comments would be very welcome

Thank you

We were visited during the week by David Myles and Ivan Diver.  We thank them very much for the donation of €475 to our school funds.  The money was raised on a recent bus tour around north and west Donegal and we are indebted to them for thinking of the children.  Unfortunately, the grants we receive from the Government are no longer sufficient to meet even the running costs of our school now so this is a very welcome boost to our funds.  

Sympathy

We offer our condolences to the Moore family following their recent bereavement.

David Lyttle

Thank you to those who donated to the fund for David Lyttle's retirement present.  He was presented with an engraved watch at his retirement function in the Abbey Hotel at the end of June.  We thank Nigel and Jayne Wallace for speaking and making the presentation on the school's behalf.

Assembly

We are very pleased that our regular visitors will be joining us again for Assemby each Thursday - Reverend Russell, Reverend Corrie, Mrs Russell and David McAllister.  We are delighted to see Reverend Corrie so well recovered after his illness but we have banned him from this year's egg and spoon race on Sports Day.

Peace Proms Preparation

The children in the Senior Room will visit Letterkenny on Wednesday 2nd October for rehearsal for their concert.

Volunteers

We thank Jenny Mahon and Jackie McGlinchey for offering to come in on a voluntary basis to help with classroom and school activities.

Mrs Mc Mahon

Sadly we have had to say goodbye to Mrs McMahon this year.  We thank her very much for all her work in our school over the past three years and hope that she will call in and see us often.

Class Pages

Mrs Gourley and Mrs Patterson have already been busy updating their class pages.  Please take time to have a look.

Junior Infant Photographs

The photographers have been in school during the week so look out for the photographs in the Donegal Post, Donegal Times and the Donegal Democrat.

Peace Proms Concert

The Peace Proms Concert will be held in Letterkenny on Saturday 26th October.  We will be performing in the 2 o'clock show.  The children will travel from school by bus and there will be no charge for the children.  If parents or friends would like to come along and watch, tickets are available here or through the 'An Grianan Theatre'  website

School Development

Our focus for this academic year is 'Writing'.  This term we are concentrating on 'Recounts'.  You can help us and your child by doing lots of talking about things they have done and places they have been.  Make sure they can retell a story in the correct order and can add details about things they have done. 
We will be sending home some more information for you soon.

If you need to speak to us...

There is no need to wait until Parents' Meetings if there is anything concerning you.  Your child's teacher will always be happy to talk to you.
