Scoil Iosaef Naofa at Christmas

Class Concerts: All classes are busy over the last few weeks preparing for the annual Christmas concerts. Over the last week of the term they will perform for each other and also for their families. Many thanks to the parents who helped out with the costumes.

Stamps for the Missions: As usual, at this time of year particularly with all the Christmas Cards and New Year cards arriving in the post, we ask people to hold on to the used stamps and send them into Mr. McSweeney’s 6th Class. Please ensure that some of the envelope is left around the stamp. We collect used stamps on a weekly basis in the school and deliver them to the Franciscan Missionaries of Mary, Limerick, who use them to raise funds for their missions.

Cathedral Evening Prayer Services for Advent: Three of our pupils from Mr McSweeney’s Rang a Sé have been taking part in these prayer services during the Sundays of Advent. They are Cathal & Conor O’Riordan and Keelan Griffin. A very special word of thanks to Sr. Emmanuel for preparing them.

School Choir: Pupils from 4th, 5th & 6th classes are performing at the Cobh Lions Club Christmas Concert in the Heritage Centre on Thursday 15th December. They were very well prepared by Ms. Fitzgerald, who also conducts the choir, Mr. O’Loingsigh & Mr. McSweeney.

Christmas Raffle: Our raffle this year will be held before the Christmas Holidays. This is to raise funds for our new music room.

Carol & Prayer Service: Classes are also preparing for an in-school Carol & Prayer Service to be held before the Christmas Holidays.

We would like to take this opportunity to wish all those associated with the school a happy and holy Christmas. Beannachtaí na Nollag agus na hAthbhliana oraibh go léir!
