November Newsletter 2017
It’s hard to believe that our first ‘half term’ is completed and if the next half of this term goes as quickly it will be Christmas before we know it. This month all children will take part in two workshops as follows:
Thursday 9th November: Agri Kids Workshop—this is a fantastic opportunity for the children to become more agri aware. We are constantly hearing about dangers on a farm and unfortunately there have been far too many accidents and fatalities in recent times. With many children living on farms and more children visiting farms it is important for them to be aware of the dangers. Check out www.agrikids.ie for more information. Thanks to Laura Ward for organising the workshop.
Friday 17th November: As part of Cavan/Monaghan Science Festival all pupils will attend “Dinosaurs Down Under” in Monaghan Museum at 10.00am. Dale Treadwell, RTE jr’s best loved nature guy is set to take us on a journey to his own back yard of Australia with a catch it’s the Gondwana Land. Dale is joined by a cast of realistic Down Under Dinosaurs and an exciting AV display.
Shoe Box Appeal
If anybody wishes to fill a shoebox for Team Hope Operations Christmas Child Appeal please bring it to school before Friday 10th November, and we will pass it on to Sandra Anderson.
Cash For Clobber
Many thanks to all who contributed to the Cash for Clobber Appeal 540kg of clothes was collected which resulted in €270 for school funds.
Parent Teacher Meetings

Parents’ Association AGM
Many thanks to those who attended the recent AGM. Please support the committee’s fund raising endeavours over the coming months. So far this year a set of 15 Good News Bibles was presented to the school and all children received the benefit of discounted gymnastic lessons.
Please forward recipes to the school before Friday 17th November which will be passed on to the committee for publication in a cookery book which will be on sale at the cookery demonstration on Friday 23rd February 2018. In order for the book to be a success lots of tried and tested recipes are required. Ask your extended family & friends to send in their favourite recipes also.
