SEACHTAIN NA GAEILGE
Míle Buíochas le Mtr. Yvonne agus foireann na scoile as ucht imeachtaí Sheachtain na Gaeilge a eagrú le mí anuas. Bhí raon leathan imeachtaí eagraithe ina measc cuairteanna ar an Leabharlann le haghaidh Tráth na gCeist agus caint ó Éanna Ní Lamhna, agus seó drámaíochta (Seachtopus) don a bun ranganna sa halla. Muna raibh deis agat an €5 a lorgaíomar ó gach chlann a chur isteach go fóill, tá am ann fós.
Many thanks to Mtr. Yvonne and the school staff for organising the events over the past month. A wide range of events were organised including visits to the Library for a Quiz and a talk from Éanna Ní Lamhna, and a drama show (Seachtopus) for the Junior classes in the hall. If you haven’t had a chance to donate the €5 we asked for from each family towards the costs yet, there’s still time. GRMA!
