🤝 SVP Helping Hands Appeal Update 🤝
Thu 16 Dec 2021Hello! As you all know, every class in the school has been doing a St. Vincent De Paul project.
My Class (Ms Bradshaw’s 6th Class) and every class in the school made hampers and we wrote Christmas cards for families in need with the help of Ms. Markey.
And, on behalf of me, my class, Ms. Markey and our teacher Ms. Bradshaw we would like to thank everyone who brought something in for the hampers.
Last Thursday Ms. Markey and other teachers and volunteers brought the hampers and Christmas cards to the families in need.
So, thank you for bringing items in for the hampers. You have really made a difference this Christmas.
By Clodagh O’Brien, 6th Class, Ms. Bradshaw, Room 7
A special thank you to Ms. Bradshaw and her class for all their hard work on our first ever helping Hands Appeal. The hampers were simply amazing! The families who received them were so grateful. A sincere thank you to all who contributed and made this possible. Well done to Clodagh who spoke so well at our recent online School Assembly and updated everyone on how everything went.

🤝 Helping Hands - SVP Christmas Appeal 🤝
Fri 03 Dec 2021This year we are launching a very special appeal for the Society of Saint Vincent De Paul. Every class in the school will be assigned a family in need of assistance and asked to bring in different items including treats, household items and non-perishable food.
Ms. Bradshaw's 6th Class will facilitate the appeal. They will introduce each class to their assigned family and outline the family's needs.
Everyone is asked to bring in one item from the class shopping list. Everyone who brings in their item will trace around their handprint and these special handprints will be used to decorate our Helping Hands Christmas Tree. We ask that items are brought to school by the 13th of December as Ms. Markey and some of our staff members will be delivering these items directly to the families that week.
Thank you in advance for your support with this appeal.
Thank you also to Andrew from The Village Garden Centre for providing us with a beautiful tree to mark the appeal!
