November 2006 Newsletter
THE SHOE BOXES for Operation Christmas Child were collected on November 8th. They are now en route to any one of 100 countries. Many thanks to Luke Connolly and Conor Mullally for co-ordinating this.
GARDA ARTHUR O'NEILL spoke to the pupils in Mrs Costello's class about road
safety and reminded them to be vigilant crossing roads especially with dark
evenings in Winter. He spoke of the role of the Garda in society and of
the boys' personal safety. He also suggested that parents buying new jackets
for their sons should ensure the jacket has a reflective strip which would
show clearly in cars' headlamps.
KEVIN GLYNN a practising vet spoke to the pupils about pet care. He emphasised
the importance of considering animals that are easy to care for when choosing
a pet.
TONY SWEENEY (P.E.) from the Regional Curriculum Support Service will work
with the pupils and teachers of Harold Boys' between November and June.
Areas of focus will be Outdoor Adventure, Dance and Gymnastics.

to Bloomfield Shopping Centre on December 16th. They will sing carols from
4.00 - 5.00pm. The funds raised will go to the Parent Teacher Association
to assist in Payment for me English Book Rental Scheme and educational materials
to be used in classrooms. Please support this outing by ensuring your son
is brought to Dun Laoghaire at the required time. You may like to contact
other parents to organise transporting boys there and back in groups.
BAG PACKING for the boys i will take place in Eurospar on November 18* at
10.30am. We are extremely grateful to the pupils and parents who give up
their free time to raise badly needed funds for the school.

practise in Classes 2nd to 4th. We look forward to working with them.
