2nd Class: 11th May 2020
Dear Parents/ Guardians,
We hope you all had a lovely, relaxing week off. In normal circumstances, this week would have been a really special week for the boys and girls in 2nd Class. We would have been very busy going to the church and the excitement levels would have been very high. We are thinking of all of the children and their families this week. On Friday, there will be a special mass for the children that can be viewed on the church webcam. The details are below.
Keep sending emails and photos of your child’s work. We really miss them so much and it is so lovely to be able to connect with them. You can send an email, photo or even just a “hello” to secondclasswork@scoil-bhride.com.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Ms. Lanigan, Ms. Fogarty, Ms. Mc Mahon, Ms. Martin, Mrs. Troy, Mrs. Kelly, Ms. Keyes
Special Mass for 2nd Class children in Scoil Bhride
On Friday morning at 10 o’clock, there will be a special mass for the children in Scoil Bhride, that were due to make their First Holy Communion. Today would have been a very exciting day in school for all of the boys and girls. We are thinking of you all and saying a special prayer for you. Click on the picture below to watch the mass on the webcam.
