To help celebrate Lá Glas in St Mary's, the Student Council will be doing their annual collection for Goal tomorrow morning. We will be selling the Goal shamrock badges for E2 each in Belmont and Milltown. Go raibh maith agaibh!  Yesterday 4th and 5th class had their final cluster rehearsal in the Rita Kinsella Hall before our big performance in the National Basketball Arena in Tallaght on March 27th. We were joined by St Pius X GNS and Ranelagh Multi Denominational School. Thanks to Colette Hussey and Ms Holohan for conducting the choir yesterday. It was great to see and hear the hard work that the children in 4th and 5th classes have put into their choral performances since September. Huge thanks also to Ms Purcell and Ms Holohan who have been rehearsing weekly with the two classes. We are all so excited to see the children perform on the stage with the orchestra. The annual Emmanuel Laudate, festival will take place on Thursday, 7 March at 7:30 pm in the Church of the Sacred Heart, Donnybrook. This festival is a collaboration with the three other schools in Donnybrook parish, (Muckross Park College, and the Teresian Junior and Senior schools) The children in 3rd classes will be performing in this festival. They have worked really hard preparing for this festival and it promises to be a wonderful night's entertainment. The festival begins at 7:30 pm and will finish at 8:30 pm. All are welcome.
Comhghairdeas to Molly who auditioned successfully for RTÉ's Cór na nÓg choir recently. Molly is also a member of our After-school choir. We are very proud of Molly.  St. Mary's Girls Soccer team enjoyed a first ever experience of League of Ireland football on Friday night with an enjoyable visit to the U.C.D Bowl in the Airtricity League, Premier Division fixture against St. Patrick's Athletic. Our girls soccer team were invited to the game and to take part as official mascots. The girls also had the opportunity to walk out with the teams at the start of the game and to play a short match during the half time interval in front of a crowd of 1000 spectators. The U.C.D club were also kind enough to provide us with free flags and egg shakers so that we could help cheer on the lads during the game in our front row seats! Everybody thoroughly enjoyed the experience and we are extremely grateful for the invitation, especially the free season tickets at the end of the night. We wish the UCD squad the very best of luck with their season ahead and we hope to return to the Bowl again soon. We now look forward to continuing with our own Tuesday Soccer training sessions for both our boys and girls teams in preparation for the FAI Primary Schools 5 a-side competition which takes place next month. The girls will also be taking part in an 11 aside league which will be beginning later this month. EXCITING NEWS! This year 5th Class have chosen Sock Banks as their product for the Junior Entrepreneur Programme. Each year 5th Class in St Mary's participates in the programme. We have come up with lots of potential products and had a Dragons Den day showcase of all of them (Check our 5th Class page for updates on our J.E.P. journey so far.) This week we will be going around to all the classes in the school and showing them our product. They have all already seen our ads that we made to promote them! We are working really hard on making our business a success and we now need your support to ensure it is. Each Sock Bank costs E3 or 2 for E5. We feel our product is a great one. The designs are hand made and it's a great, fun way to save your money. Please support 5th Class in our J.E.P. journey, And remember... DON'T PUT IT IN YOUR POCKET......SOCK IT!  |
