Dear Parents,
I wish to bring the following to your attention.
Parking is limited at the moment while construction is ongoing next to the school. It is a big help that so many parents park in the Church grounds. Please remind all children that, in the event of a child not being collected, they should return to the school and inform a teacher who will contact parents or minders. Parents can be delayed for any reason, usually traffic, road works etc.
This is Maths Week and classes are involved in a range of activities, including Maths trails, Problem of the Day etc. The Problem of the Day is on the website www.ballybrownns.ie
There will be a 'Green and White' day tomorrow, Friday October19th to show support for Ballybrown hurlers who are in the Intermediate County Final on Saturday. All proceeds to the Parents Association. €1 per child if possible.

Dear parents,
Groundworks have begun on the Resource Centre next to the school. This is a particularly busy time and I appeal to all parents to be vigilant. In wet weather, visbility is a major difficulty. Bus and Disabled parking areas must be kept clear at all times. Please do not drop children in the Staff parking area as they may pass in front of, or behind, other traffic. Many parents are using the Church car park and this is a great help.
Today is All Ireland Poetry Day and every class in the school learned, read, or listened to poetry today. It was enjoyed by all. Already this year, over a hundred children composed poems for the Cuisle Poetry festival which takes place in
Well done to our boys and girls Under 13 football teams who have both been in action this week. The boys will play
