The parents association would like to thank all those that attended and supported the annual book fair in the school. It was a great success and thank you for your continued support.

BOOK FAIR

Summary Chairperson's Report, AGM Oct 2010

Throughout our busy year, we carry out many events, the first of which is the Book Fair, which generates revenue to buy books for the CAPER Scheme, Library and all the novels required by 5th and 6th classes.  Another major event is the Communion reception which this year catered for up to 800 adults and 110 Communion kids.
We have many coffee mornings for parents with a very popular social night, this year, a pub quiz in Frankfield House.
We started a book loan scheme this year involving the 4 readers used in senior infants, parents responded generously and donated many books.  We hope to extend this scheme to other classes over time.
Fundraising is necessary to fund these projects and we do this through bag packs, raffles, cake sales, annual walk, Christmas calendars and letters.  Parents are very supportive and we are always grateful.
All money raised goes back into the school, for instance, this year we purchased interactive white boards, gardening equipment, hi vis vests and much more.
Finally thanks to all the parents on the committee and the sub committee, Michael, Sile, Pam, Michael, Kieran Daly and Declan Madden.
