September 2007 Newsletter and Diary
WELCOME BACK to everyone ! A special failte to our new pupils in Rang II. and to Kenzie Koudri, John Abbey, Joseph Dempsey and Finn Kingston.
REFURBISHMENT Thanks to all for being so patient during
the building project in Harold Boys' National School. Works carried out
this Summer included demolition of the boiler house thus creating a larger
safer play area in the junior yard, resurfacing of the senior yard, installation
of a new wiring system, fire alarm, new roof and insulation, new windows
and a corridor which links both sides of the school internally. We look
forward to the completion of the P.E. and Art stores. Many thanks to all
the staff for their input in the planning process and preparation for the
building project. This involved extra work on their part. Thanks also to
the Board of Management, particularly Mr. John Leonard, who supervised the
building work.
PARENTS' ASSOCIATION A.G.M. is on October 2nd at 8.30pm.
Please come and support. You might also like to take a look at our recent
renovations. A special word of appreciation to the outgoing committee for
their fantastic work done last year.
THANKS to all the parents who continue to help with yard
duty supervision.
UNIFORM crests are available in the office. The cost is
€ 4.50. Please ensure your son wears his full school uniform at all
times. This is in keeping with implementing the overall discipline of the
school and parents' co-operation regarding this is extremely important.
Variations of the school tracksuit are not accepted.
HEALTHY LUNCH REMINDER: No crisps, bars, sweets, gum or
fizzy drinks. The East Coast Area Health Board advises first break to be
a "Fruit Break" Friday can be a treat day.
