Parents' Association

Dear Parents,

A very warm welcome back to all the students and in particular a big hello to the new Junior Infants.

The first meeting of the current year will take place on Wednesday 26th September @ 8.30pm in the Manor Hall. Events for the forthcoming year will be discussed and any new ideas or suggestions would be gratefully received.

The parents association was set up a number of years ago and is a voluntary organization which ultimately needs support of parents. I would urge parents to get involved as it is in the interest of their children. I do appreciate that we are all busy in our everyday working lives but I really hope that more parents will lend a hand to ensure its success. It also ensures that new ideas and suggestions can be explored so please make a special effort as in a given school year there are only 4-5 meetings.

I attach a booking form for this year’s panto which is Dick Whittington and his Cat. Tickets go on sale on Monday 1st October and it is hoped to secure tickets for the matinee performance on Sunday 9th December. I am looking for a volunteer to queue on that morning to guarantee the tickets for this much enjoyed occasion by all the pupils.

I look forward to meeting as many parents as possible on Wednesday and do hope that I will get the support that is needed to ensure fond and happy memories of Leckaun National School.

Thanking you in advance.

Ann Longworth

Autumn Art Display

The colours of autumn are red, orange, yellow, gold and brown. We are learning about the red squirrel and the hedgehog. Chestnuts or conkers fall from the Horse Chestnut Tree.
We used our handprints to make out trees and made falling leaves using finger painting. What a super job!

Dash - Class Pet Junior Room

We all thought of names of for our new class pet. Last Friday we had a raffle and the name Dash came out of the hat. Dash is very happy to be in Leckaun National School and we are sure that he will get the very best of treatment from all the children.
