Tuismitheoirí Rang 2 / Parents of 2nd Class

Beidh cruinniú sa scoil maidin amárach (29 Meith 2012) do thuismitheoirí Rang 2 ag 08.30. Pléfear an t-athrú atá ag teacht ar chomhdhéanamh na ranganna an bhliain seo chugainn. Tá an cinneadh déanta anois go malartófaí na grúpaí chun seans a thabhairt don dá ghrúpa eispéireas deifriúl a bheith acu do roinnt le rang níos sinne agus rang níos óige. Tá sé tábhachtach go bhfreastalódh na tuismitheoirí ranga uile ar seo más féidir.

There is going to be a meeting for the parents of the 2^nd class children in the school tomorrow morning (29^th June 2012) at 08.30. We will be discussing the very recent decision to change the composition of the mixed classes. It has been decided to swap the class groups around so as to give each child in the current 2^nd class an opportunity to experience sharing with a younger class and also an older class. It is important to attend this meeting if at all possible.

Rugby Top

Crios(O Ceilleachain Rang 1 - M Ciara), brought home an extra Rugby Top with him today from the OEC Centre after school tour! So if you have a check to see if you are missing a Rugby Top.

 

Unfortunately, Crios put it in his bag with all his own wet, sandy clothes - so I'll give it a wash and Crios will bring it to school with him on Thursday and whoever owns it can collect it from Muinteoir Ciara.

 

Thanks,

Wishing you a Happy Summer Break from Child of Haiti

Greetings to all the Schools as you break for the Summer Holidays from the Child of Haiti Office.

As you break for the Summer Holidays, I would like to wish all the Teachers, Staff and students ‘Happy Holidays’.  May I also take this opportunity to thank all the schools that have participated in the Child of Haiti Programme and ‘Sponsoring a Child’s’ Education. We greatly welcome your support.  Your help will enable us to continue our good work with an already vulnerable population.

For the schools that would like to participate in our Programme, I would appreciate if you could give ‘Child of Haiti’ which is a new young charity (based in Limerick) your consideration and would welcome your support in Sponsoring a Child’s Education next September (€130) for 1 Year. You might consider discussing this with the school’s Board of Management for consideration in September 2012. (It is a very interesting project for young students and schools to become involved in).  I am in the process of getting the schools that have already sponsored children in communication with the schools in Haiti and also forwarding on the Haitian child’s academic progress and school attendance results to the schools. The feedback has been very positive to date. The teachers and children seem to enjoy participating in our ‘Children’s Educational Sponsorship Programme’.

Best wishes to all of you, I will check in with you in September.

Is Mise Le Meas

Summer Piano Lessons

Hi!  There is a Voice coach/Piano teacher from the United States in town for the summer and is looking to give lessons if possible to children in the Kinsale area.  He is currently working on his doctoral degree in Music at the University of Oklahoma.  He has quite a lot of piano performing experience (mostly collaborative) in both classical and popular styles, as well as much experience in church music.  VocalIy, he have been involved as a principal in some two dozen operatic productions, and a handful of musicals; He has also served as coach and musical director for several musical theater productions.  He has been teaching piano (and later, voice) for the last ten years, and feels comfortable with most any age and most styles of music.

I was hoping I could somehow let students and parents know that there are music lessons available for the summer.  His contact information is:
