Lunchtime Beach Party
We are delighted that the weather forecast for our last week at school is a good one – warm sunshine all week!!
On Tuesday at lunchtime we will have a beach party. Children are asked to come to school wearing shorts and T-shirts and can bring along a beach towel to lie on the grass. As this is a non-uniform day we kindly ask for £1.00 to assist with school funds.
Friendship League Finals
Our very talented school football team represented the school superbly at the finals of the Friendship League at Airdrie Football Stadium. They were amazing !! They played 5 hotly contested games. They drew 1-1 with St Pat’s and St. Timothy’s. Won against Carnbroe 5-3 and Greenhill 8-2. They were narrowly defeated by Kirkshaws 2-3. They came third overall with St Timothy’s winning and St. Pat’s second. Our team were a joy to watch and were outstanding ambassadors of the school.
What’s Happening in School Next Week?
Week beginning 19th March remains a busy week for the school. Holy Mass takes place every morning at 8.00am in the Church with breakfast provided for the children in the hall afterwards. This is provided free by the school. It has been great to so many of our children make that extra effort to get to Mass.
Many thanks to the PTA for organising the Spring Disco. It was a great success. A huge thank you is also extended to the parents and staff who came out to help supervise that evening. As you can see from previous posts the children had a ball.
