Next week, its the busiest week of all at our school! And we are very excited about it!
First off is our first ever Healthy Living Week, with a focus on the growth mindset, mindfulness, healthy eating and healthy living in general.
We will finish up the week with Fruity Friday in the morning and then finish Healthy Living Week with a very happy Spoooooooky Cake Sale in the afternoon! Please come along to support this great event, organised by our Parent Association.
And now for the BIG news......
Very appropriately for Healthy Living Week, we have had the MOST generous gift to our school!
Rachel O'Callaghan, mum of two children in our school, is running in Dublin City Marathon next Sunday - 26 MILES! - and is doing so for our school!
Isn't this amazing?!
Rachel would love to raise 1000 euro towards iPads or tablets for our school.
You don't have to get off your couch. You don't have to eat healthily. You don't even have to put on a pair of runners!
Rachel will do all of that for us.
Just dig deep and sponsor her race.
And share the fundraiser so other people can sponsor Rachel too!
We just need 100 people to sponsor 10 euro each to reach our goal.
At this rate, we will have a good number of ipads/tablets before the end of 2016 - how amazing!
The generosity of our community is inspiring. Thank you so much, Rachel, for thinking of us. We hope we can rise to your goal and we wish you EVERY good wish in completing the marathon!
With best wishes to you all and wishing you a healthy and happy weekend,
Caitriona.
