Dear Parents/Guardians,
We've had a very busy week up here in the school.
Book Fair
Well done to all the kids and parents who bought lots of stationery and books this week from the Scholastic Book Fair! There was almost €2400 worth of books purchased. This means that the school will get over €400 back in books for the school.
Christmas Jumper Exchange - SALE on next Thurs. Nov. 21st from 2 - 4pm
We remind our parents to send in any Christmas jumpers/outfits that are in good condition and clean/washed. Our Christmas Jumper sale is next Thurs. Nov. 21st in the GP room when parents can come in and buy a different jumper/outfit for 5 euros each. This is a great way to re-use and recycle clothes whilst also reducing the need to spend lots of money replacing them. Last day for drop offs is next Wednesday.
Toy Show Bags
Next week, we will be asking if parents are interested in buying Toy Show party bags that our Parents and Friends Group will organise. They will be €5 each, full of goodies and will save parents the time and energy looking for them elsewhere! We will send out an online form on Monday and these bags can be ordered for all the kids at home!

An Choill teacher
We say farewell to Ms. April Dowdall today who leaves us to go travelling! We thank April for all her enthusiasm and kindness shown to the kids and her support and team work in her short time here in Ballymitty NS! Ms. Kate Cullen will be the new teacher in An Choill from Monday until the Christmas holidays. We know that a change in staff can be difficult for the children but all of the routines and practices in place will continue.
Erasmus Visitors
We thank our wonderful friends in Escola San Bernat Calvo in Tarragona, Spain who came to visit us Weds, Thurs and today in Hook Head. They got to spend time with the 5th/6th class pupils in our school who travel to Tarragona next May. Here they are spending time in Hook Head:
Have a lovely weekend everyone,
Audrey
