Monthly Theme: THANKSGIVING
“If the only prayer you ever say in your life is thank
you, it will be enough.” – Meister Eckhart
As we near the end of the school year I’d like to thank
the entire school community of St Nicholas’ PS for all
you have contributed to making this year such an
outstanding success.
B.A.S.E – Before & After School Engagement:
HUGE THANKS to Shelley, Sarah & the team at Sullatober for
making our childcare arrangements such a success this year!
We look forward to working with you again next year!
Clubs: Finish on week beginning 9th June. Many thanks to
all of our leaders and participants. A great time was had by all!
Monday Money: As a small school, we rely heavily on the
goodwill of ALL to support our funds to provide extras.
Thank you for your generosity, help and support this year!
P7 Residential: Please say a prayer that our P7 pupils and
their teachers have a safe and enjoyable trip to Carlingford
Outdoor Pursuits & Adventure Centre.
Great News! As a result of this year’s fundraising efforts,
Monday Money and with some careful budget planning, we’ve
just accepted delivery of another 45 ipads.
This means that we now have a ratio of 1:2 across the school!
Thank you to the PTA and to you the parents for your continued
support and generosity! We are a true 21st century school!
