We held our annual Bring & Buy Sale in aid of St. Vincent de Paul on Friday December 7th.  The children had been busy all week bringing in items for the sale as well as baking some lovely buns, biscuits and cakes.

There was great excitement on the day and a brisk trade was reported!

Nearly €700 was raised for a really worthy cause.  Thanks to everyone for their contribution.

Recently we received a lovely surprise in the post from our friends in Jaux school which is close to Paris.  Our children enjoyed reading letters from all their pupils.

Last week all our classes  wrote back to the children and are looking forward to keeping in contact well into the future.

Our annual Bring & Buy Fundraiser for St. Vincent de Paul takes place on Friday 7th December.  Items for the sale can be brought in during the week.  Tickets for the raffle will be on sale during the week also.

We are continuing with our efforts working towards our 6th Green Flag on the theme Global Citizenship: Litter and Waste.  4th, 5th and 6th Classes learned lots about the topic from Colin and Thomas who work with The Rediscovery Centre in Ballymun.  Thanks to Offaly County Council for funding this workshop.

We were also visited by Edel from Laois Outdoor Education.  She told us all about bees and the amazing job they do.

All classes enjoyed taking part in a percussion workshop run by The Mobile Music School.

Once again this year there was a great response to the Christmas Shoebox Appeal.  Well done to everyone who made the effort to help those less fortunate than ourselves.

Read the report from the Board of Management meeting held on November 5th 2018 here.

On Thursday October 25th pupils and staff dressed up in a wide variety of costumes.  Many children made an extra effort by designing and creating their own costumes using recyclable materials.  These children went for a walk around the village.

A reminder that the school will be closed on Friday 26th October as it is being used as a polling station for the presidential election.

The school will be closed from Monday 29th October to Friday 2nd November for the mid-term break.

Well done to our wonderful girls’ football team who won their Cumann na mBunscol Group E Final against a very good Kilcormac/Broughall team today.  In a hard fought and exciting contest the Geashill girls came out on top by 5 points.

Thanks to everyone who turned out today to give great support to the team.

The team enjoyed a well deserved visit to Supermacs on the way back to the school.
