The school was a hive of activity for Enterprise Day on both Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. Many children from 3rd to 6th class displayed impressive creativity and entrepreneurship as they established their own businesses and tried to make a profit! Well done to everyone involved. A special thank you to Ms. Gill who organised this wonderful event.

Congratulations to all the boys and girls who made their Confirmation in St. Mary’s Church, Edenderry on April 29th.

On Friday April 28th, we had a Rainbow Day in aid of LOFFA Autism Awareness. All staff and students were asked to wear rainbow clothes on the day. The school was a sea of colour on the day!

On Wednesday, each class group performed a song or poem for other classes. The week concluded on Thursday with a ‘Lá Glas’ (Green Day) and a concert by ‘The Celtic Gypsys’. Bhí seachtain iontach ag gach duine!!

We had a great day last Thursday celebrating World Book Day. Many teachers and students dressed up as a character from one of their favourite books. By far, the most popular outfits were Matilda and Miss Trunchbull! There was one winning outfit selected in each class, and all of the winners got a free book token for the book fair coming to the school from March 27th – 31st. Well done to everyone who took part!

Over the next few months, we will be commencing a project to develop an all-weather Astro facility on the school grounds. This will include a pitch, track, lights and a ball wall. In order to raise money, we are having a Family Friendly Fundraiser Night at the Dogs on Friday June 9th at Newbridge Greyhound stadium. All are welcome on the night. Tickets cost €15 and every ticket sold will be entered into a draw for the great prize of €1000. All support for this project would be greatly appreciated. Tickets can be purchased online on our website or at school reception from Monday March 6th. Further details in relation to the actual night will be announced closer to the time. If you would like to purchase a ticket, make a donation or see our sponsorship options, please contact Scoil Bhríde reception. Please enjoy our video explaining why we need this new pitch! Thank you for your support.
