It’s that time of year again when we are launching the Christmas Shoebox Appeal. The closing date for the Team Hope Christmas Shoebox Appeal is November 4th 2019. Please give your completed shoebox to your child’s teacher on or before that date. The children should have received the leaflets with all the information. Please find attached a poster of ideas of what to include and what to avoid. You will find lots of information about what to include and where the shoeboxes go on www.teamhope.ie. Thank you to everybody who has supported this worthwhile cause in the past. Last year we sent away 164 shoeboxes and we’re aiming even higher this year!
Well done to all the boys and girls in Mr Heavey’s class on their performance in assembly today. Éire abú!
