Hello everyone, *Santa Dash week is here! We hope everyone can get behind the sponsorship of our very kind 6th class as they fundraise for St. Vincent de Paul. At assembly last week, we talked about children maybe giving a coin from their piggy banks (with parents’ permission) as we think it is a great lesson in selflessness. Any sponsorship can be given to class teachers. Thank you! * Thank you to all the parents who are stewarding. Huge thanks to Donal Molloy who is bringing hot food and Fiona Blackwell who is supplying hot chocolate! It should be a lovely experience.

Carmel made a beautiful wreath, a circular shape representing God’s unending love for us.
