As part of the school hygiene policy we do not have shared towels in the children’s toilets. Please remember to purchase a couple of face cloths or small towels if your child is in in senior infants to 2nd classes so that they can dry their hands at school. The school will provide a plastic bag for the hand towels.
Volunteers’ breakfast gathering
Last Wednesday the 18th June we had a great crowd for our annual Volunteer thank you gathering ! We decided this year to hold it in the morning as a breakfast and to also include an outdoor assembly . It was held by our beautiful new raised garden by Our Lady’s statue at John’s newly painted shed (which is now pink !).
We then moved in to the wooden hall for a ‘continental’ breakfast of juice/tea/coffee, croissants, strawberry sticks , scones and sausage rolls. The Principals and some of the available teachers from both schools joined in, with words of thanks from Bryan O’Reilly and Gerry King for the much appreciated time given by all our Volunteers.
We do hope all the Volunteers who could make it enjoyed their morning ‘Thank You’ over a sunny breakfast ! Many that I spoke to were already talking of next September – I think we can safely say we have not just happy but eager Volunteers ! We look forward to your return

SCMJ Twitter Project #Irishschoolsummer
We are setting up a Twitter project here in Scoil Mhuire. We want all teachers, parents and pupils to contribute to the project by taking a photo of our beautiful Irish summer and tweet it using the hashtag: #Irishschoolsummer. We want to get as many people involved as possible! Maybe you could take a photo of a school tour, a sunny day or more than likely a rainy day! There are lots of possibilities! Please join in!
