4th Green Flag for Scoil Bhríde

Yesterday, the Green Schools Committee at Scoil Bhríde raised its 4th Green Flag. This flag is the ‘Travel Flag’ and it was awarded to the school for the great effort it makes to promote better, more sustainable ways of travelling to school. This is a big achievement and it showcases one of the many ways in which the school works to care for our environment. Congratulations to everyone involved!

 

Parents’ Association AGM – Volunteers Needed!

The Parents’ Association will hold its AGM on Wednesday October 20th. Any parents wishing to join the Zoom meeting to email us @ edenderry.sbpa@gmail.com and we will send them a Zoom invite.

 

A lot has changed over the past years. Yet, we continue to rely on the generous support of our school community.

 

Without the Parents’ Association activities such as school discos, Christmas parties, Easter events, Movie nights, quiz nights, 6th class graduation and end of year parties will cease to exist. The Parents’ Association this year have provided funding to the school garden and also a whole school music programme called Dabbledoo.

We seriously need fresh volunteers so that we can continue our support for the school. Without volunteers this year, the Parents’ Association could cease to exist, which would be very disappointing for the whole school community.

If you can help, please contact edenderry.sbpa@gmail.com , Scoil Bhride Edenderry Parents’ Association Facebook page or the school directly.
