Parents Association:

There will be a Parents Association Meeting on Thursday 18th January at 8.15pm in the school library for any parent that wants to go along. Thanks again to yourselves and the PA for raising an amazing €1,706 in the Christmas Raffle and the Craft Fair. Ms. Harding will today be purchasing much needed science equipment for the children and we will keep you updated when it arrives.

RIP Mary Fahey:

A special mention for Mary Fahey, late of Ballinacarrow who made the first school band uniforms for St. Lassara's school band. If you click HERE you can read a post and see a picture of the uniforms that captures Mary alongside the band.

Keep School Gate Clear:

Our Green School Committee would like to thank you for keeping the school gate and bus set down area free from parked cars at drop off and pick up times. This will help keep children safe walking to and from school.

Cash for Clobber:

We would love all of your unused clothes to help raise money for the school. Donations can be dropped to the school between now and the February Mid-term break (Wednesday 14th February). This initiative is open to the whole community so please spread the word. CLICK HERE FOR A SPECIFIC POST TO SHARE WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY.

Best of luck to boys in handball comp:

Eoghan, Donal and Jake will be representing the school this coming weekend in a handball competition in Collooney so the very best of luck to them.

Thanks a lot for supporting the SVP Christmas Jumper appeal. A total of €103.50 was raised and has been sent to the charity to support a range of good causes.
