We had a lovely Family day back in June when we all got to meet up and the children got to meet each other. There are more than half of our pupils who weren't there, however, either because they couldn't make it or because they hadn't enrolled by then.

Some of these pupils and their families would love to meet their classmates before school starts so they can know another face when they come in on 3rd September!

If you would like to arrange a play-date with another family, you can put a post on our Facebook page asking other families to Message you with contact details.

We look forward to meeting everyone at 8.30am on Monday 3rd September!

Wow! You are all so generous! The donations are flying in now and mingling nicely with the classroom requisites we are beginning to purchase for September! 

So far we have been gifted:
- a fridge-freezer
- 3 PCs
- a laptop
- 20 ring-binders
- a volleyball net and volleyballs
- complete jigsaws
- good-as-new children's books
- home corner toys such as a shop and dress-up clothes
- 2 jars of soap
- 6 computer tables
- time
- 100 euro to be spent on ethical education library books for the Junior Infant classroom
- storage space (to store these gifts until 1st September!)
- a shelving unit

As you can see, they range from small to big and most were items being replaced in their previous homes. Is there anything you have that would like to be re-homed?! We promise to take good care of it! Have a look at our wish-list and let us know if there's anything you can offer. 

Many thanks to all our supporters.

Have you spotted our new websites? Junior Infants have their own website, which you can visit here: citywestetnsjuninf.weebly.com and Senior Infants have a website just for them too: citywestetnsseninf.weebly.com! They will have so much fun designing their own websites and sharing artwork, activities and news with you! Make sure you come back in September to see how they're getting on!

Is there anything you can offer that would help us out? Do you know of any business that might be doing a clear-out or is happy to support a local cause? Please e-mail citywestetns@gmail.com with any offers. Thank you.

As a new school, we have a lot of equipment to source and limited funds to do so. Below is our wish list. These are items that we would love to source free or cheap, new, nearly-new or good-as-new. If you can help or know someone who could, please do so. We are reliant on community support to help us. 

If you have or know of a business that could donate items or sponsor a particular section of equipping the school, please get in touch with our School Principal, Caitriona, at citywestetns@gmail.com. Many thanks in advance for your tremendous support.
