Grandparents Day 2023
This celebration was certainly worth the wait. We were deligthed to invite our grandparents back into the school after three long years. Thank you to the pupils in Room 4 in creating invitations for our grandparents for this special day.
Grandparents do so much to help raise and nurture their grandchildren. They have patience and time when parents are too busy. They have stories to tell and interesting games to play. They are good for treats and spoiling which we all need from time to time. Grandparents form the pillars of our lives and guide us in every possible way. They ast as our friend philosopher and guide.
To close Catholic Schools week our pupils gave thanks to their grandparents on Wednesday 1st February. A special mass was celebrated in St. Mary’s. The pupils asked God to bless their grandparents as ‘they are cherished memories of our family.’ We also celebrated St. Brigid's Day.
The grandparents and visitors joined the school for refreshments and entertainment in the school hall after the mass. The 5th & 6th Class pupils presented their grandparents with poems and 6th Class enjoyed a cup of tea with their grandparents. A lovely afternoon was had by all. Thank you to all the staff, teachers and pupils for this celebration.
