Hello all.

We would like to update you all on issues of importance to the school.

 

Firstly, regarding the transfer of patronage to Longford Westmeath Education & Training Board. 

 

News from the Department of Education,

          As you may be aware, the Department of Education has announced that a grant will be given to each primary school pupil to cover the cost of school books and copies for the coming school year. We will contact you at a later date with more information on this. 

 

School Building Maintenance

 

Kind Regards

Message from the Principal & Staff

16th December 2022

Hello all.

Just a short note to inform you of our Christmas celebrations this year. Classes are joining to perform together for the first time since the Pandemic. It's heartening to watch and hear the festive music and song fill the corridors again bringing some welcome cheer. Parents and

Guardians are invited to join in the cheer at the following times. Performances will last from approximately 20 mins for Infants and 1st and 2nd classes, up to approximately 40 mins  for 5th and 6th classes. 

We believe Santa will visit our school on Wednesday morning at ten but we await confirmation from the elves as we know this is a very busy time for him.

All classes are taking part in the ' Build a Reindeer' initiative to impress on Santa just how well we've behaved this past year. 

Junior and Senior Infant  children are currently carrying out inspection visits to An Post Sorting Centre Office to make sure letters to Santa and Christmas parcels are being properly delivered at this important time also. They were very impressed with the hard work being carried out by the Postal workers. 

The children in all classes can enjoy this year's Helix Panto 'Hansel and Gretel' which is available to us online in the school for the coming week.

We will have a "Christmas Jumper Day" when children can wear brightly coloured sweaters/clothes  instead of their uniform, on Friday 16th December to help pay for the Panto.  Suggested donation of €2 per child, as usual, for this fun day.

Children in 5th and 6th classes enjoyed a book club event on Tuesday with liberal servings of hot chocolate. 3rd and 4th classes are looking forward to a book themed table quiz next week. We encourage parents to make books and reading a central part of the Christmas holidays alongside board games and family movie night. 

Cornamaddy School will close at 12pm on Wednesday 21st December and reopen on Thursday morning, 5th January at 9.20am.

While the HSE continue to advise and remind us all to maintain good etiquette around hygiene and sickness, we hope all our families enjoy a more normal and peaceful Christmas this year. 

From all the Staff of Cornamaddy NS

Happy Christmas and a peaceful New Year
