Library Books
Can all library books be returned to the box under the stairs by Friday 18th September.
Pastoral Care
The Junior Learning Hub is on Pastoral Care for
October. This means they can bring in
food for contribution to the parish freezer.
Please bring any food donations to the office on Friday mornings. Thank you.
As you maybe aware, some of our school families experience times of
compassionate need; like the death of a close family member, severe
illness/injury or hardship. In response to this, the Home & School in
2008 started a new initiative in line with the St Joseph's Strategic Plan,
whereby all classrooms will have one month of the school year to contribute to
the Parish Welfare Freezer. The month of September has been assigned to Junior Learning Hub 2 and families are asked to donate
cooked food or non perishable items. The items can be tinned, baking or a
main meal, e.g. casserole, lasagna, muffins or biscuits. If you are in a
position to contribute, please contact Maria Dickie on 027 255 8268 or 439
5599.
