A Thuismitheoirí, a Chairde,
Fáilte Uí Cheallaigh roimh na Naíonáin Bheaga nua. Tá siad go hiontach agus go gleoite agus cé go mothaímid uainn rang a 6 i gcónaí nuair a fhágann siad, ar an lámh eile bíonn sé go hálainn an glúin óg a fheiceáil ag tosnú linn.

Amanta na Naíonán don Mhí seo:-
7ú – 11/9/09: 8.50r.n. – 12.30i.n.
14ú – 18/9/09: 8.50r.n. – 1.05i.n.
21ú:- 8.50r.n. – 1.30i.n.

Céiliúradh 20 Bliain na Gaelscoile 1989-2009
Mar is eol daoibh, we are looking forward to a big celebration on Sunday September 20th! With an action-packed afternoon planned the parents on Coiste na dTuismitheoirí are finalising operations and the excitement is building! We are now at the stage of looking for volunteers to help on the day. If you are available to give one hour from 2-6 it would be greatly appreciated. Please let any member of the Coiste know or contact us here at the school.
We are also looking for the following items for the ‘Big Day’:
i) Vouchers, prizes gifts, toys, sweets etc for the raffle
ii) A loan of an Apple Press for the day
iii) Some pallets to build a stage for the dancers and 8x4 sheets of ply or similar
iv) Gazebos – Big or small
Buíochas do na duaiseanna atá againn go dtí seo; d’Amanda Uí Chróc – Polka-Dot; don dearbhán, do mhuintír Uí Bhuachalla ;do na tíogair áille agus do Proctor & Gamble; don Chis.
Táimid ag súil go mór libh a fheiceáil – Scaip an focal agus bígí linn!

Tiobraid Árann Abú!
Ag súil go mór le Cluiche Ceannais na hÉireann Dé Domhnaigh agus an tacaíocht a thabhairt, tá cead ag na páistí geansaithe agus éadaí spóirt/hata Tiobhraid Árann a chaitheamh amárach nó bratacha a thógaint leo ar scoil!

Laethanta Corpoideachais : -
Dé Luain: Naíonaín Shóisireacha (Rang Lúsaí) Dé Máirt: Rang 1

Éadaí spóirt should only be worn on the days students have sport during school or as an extra-curricular activity. If the school track suit is not available for wearing on a given day, students should wear the regular uniform with runners.

Gutháin Soghluaiste
As you know we began our 2 year drive to equip every class with an Interactive Whiteboard this time last year, and with your very generous contributions we now have 4 installed – 4 in classrooms and the fifth in our Seomra Ceoil where the other classes share access to it. As we aim to get the other 3 this year, we are looking for your support in collecting used mobile phones to obtain the next one! You have collected 230 to date, and well done for so doing. We need to get to 500, so if you have collected some over the summer please send them in and if not can and your children please get collecting. This scheme whereby Promethean will give an IWB for every 500 phones donated to the Jack and Jill foundation is a wonderful way for us to get our 6th board!
Go n-éirí libh!

Trácht
As you can see, huge progress has been made on reliving the traffic congestion outside the school with the new roadway and parking system. When it is fully completed it should be a much safer system for dropping and collecting your children. However, to get the maximum benefit and to be fair to all, it is vital that no-one ever parks outside the school gate, across the road from the school gate, or in the side gateway to the Revenue Offices. Please convey this to all those dropping or collecting your children.

Rince
Cuirimid fáilte roimh Marie Uí Ógáin who returns next week to re-commence Rince with all the children during school. As usual Marie will work with the class teachers for the next 2 terms finishing up with our annual dance display on the day of the Easter holidays. The price for the year per child remains @ €20 which we ask you to send in at your convenience.

Banna Ceoil
In preparation for our Céiliúradh 20 Bliain at which the Banna Ceoil will be playing we will resume tomorrow with those from last year. At the end of September then, we will hold little auditions for any additional children from rang 2-6 who would like to join. Children need to be able to play any 2 tunes without music.
.
Cótaí Glasa:
Tá roinnt cotaí glasa scoile againn fós. We have a number of reversible green school jackets still available at €20.00 from the Oifig.
Cinn Míolta:
In an attempt to prevent head lice, we ask that all children with long hair keep it tied back and that children do not have hair hanging over their faces but wear a bandana, hair band or clips. Míle buíochas.

Lípéidí:
Ar mhiste libh deimhim a dhéanamh de go bhfuil ainm bhur bpáistí ar gach rud atá acu. Please, please label all your children’s belongings. Arís is arís eile, items with names on are easily found and this avoids confusion and upset for the children

Airgead
Mar is gnáth, please send in any school money to your child’s Múinteoir Ranga only, in a labelled envelope (with child’s name, class and the activity being paid for on the envelope). A separate payment per child is greatly appreciated.

Eolas Teagmhála
Déanaigí deimhin de go gcuireann sibh an fhoirm seo ar ais go luath. Please ensure you send back the Eolas Teagmhála by return so that we have your child’s up-to-date details. Míle buíochas.
