Dear parents,
Mr Barry's class are collecting Aldi Rugby tokens again this year. Please hand in tokens to the School Office if you have any.
Yesterday, almost 80 grandparents of children in Junior and Senior Infants were our guests as we celebrated Grandparents Day. Thanks to Ms Keyes, Ms Neville and Mrs Fitzgerald who organised the event. Fr Mike started events with a short Prayer Service.
On Monday, Gillian from School Fitness Ireland paid her last visit to Balybrown NS for the moment as the four week module on gymnastics came to an end. The children really enjoyed the experience.
Our best wishes to the two quiz teams from the school who have qualified for the County Final of the Community Games quiz tonight. This is a great achievement.
