Newsletter 23rd June 2023

School Raffle: Thanks so much to the Parents’ Association for their outstanding effort with the raffle this year. Thanks also to all children, parents and staff for your amazing support with this fundraiser. To see how much the PA raised and some photos, please click here.

Fun Run: We had such a lovely evening at the fun run. The weather obviously helped but there was such a nice atmosphere. I don’t have any photos to do a post on the website but the PA got some lovely pictures on the day so please have a look at their facebook page HERE. The final amount raised was a staggering €709 which will be used to help create an outdoor learning space at the front of our school. 

Morning Club: Thanks to Miss Harding who is going to be running a “Morning Club” drop-off service in the school from September. She will be taking children from 8.30 a.m. until school starts at 9.15a.m. I will be in touch over the summer about interest/registration, cost per child and other related details. Please note we’re not calling this a breakfast club because there won’t be food provided. 

Movie: There has been a really positive response to the movie and thanks to all those who made it to the premiere. My sincere apologies to anyone who couldn’t make it at such short notice, especially parents who were fundraising for the raffle at the time. I plan to post the movie on the website but I just want to gather permissions for this on Aladdin first. I will put out a permission list to parents of 5th/6th and of children who played minor roles. As soon as I have got all permissions back I will post.

Other news: It has been a really busy few weeks in June so there is lots of other news (tours, blitzes, sports day). Keep an eye on our homepage ( ballinacarrowns.ie ) for more posts.
