A Halloween to Remember!

On behalf of the Parents Association of Scoil Chaoimhín Naofa a big thank you to everyone who attended the kids Halloween disco in Lynham’s Hotel. We raised over €1300 which will go towards our fantastic outdoor classroom project and will include a donation to our charity Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC)MHC)…. And most importantly the kids had a blast!

So many thank yous – to the Lynham family who provided us with an amazing venue and decorations. To Wicklow Willow who provided the refreshments. To DJ Derek Cullen  & Amelia Kelly for the playlist, to Aideen  Kavanagh Carbello by Aideen who so generously provided the raffle prizes, to Kieran Conway for the smoke machine and Danny Devitt for his MC skills. To the parents who helped on the day thank you, thank you!

To all the residents of Laragh, Beechwood, Brockagh and Mountainview we were blown away with your generosity the trick or treat bar is very very high in our village. The decorations, special effects and all round spookiness was off the scale – thank you all.

Lastly to The Wicklow Heather who so generously fed us,  warmed us all up with food, mulled wine and a pumpkin competition. Congratulations to Yazmyn Kelly the pumpkin winner on the night!

Bright Stars Baby & Toddler Group

Why not come along to our baby and toddler group on Wednesday mornings at 10.30am. Each week this group will provide a welcoming and lively space for parents and children to gather and grow. Our activities will include ‘messy play’, story and song, games (guest speakers), snacks, tidy-up and new equipment which will allow both you as the parent/carer and your child to meet friends, explore new things and learn. For some parents, grandparents and carers, the weekly catch-up and opportunity for children to play and make new friends is enough. For others, the support makes them that bit more confident in their parenting role. Cost €5.50 per family. Call us on 0404 45600 if you have any questions about the group.
