Clean Up.
Calling all parents, guardians, grandparents and extended friends of Ballymac NS. We need your help for a school clean-up evening on Monday, Sept 9th, starting at 5 pm. (weather permitting) Whether you can wield a paintbrush, roller, or scraper, your skills and enthusiasm will make a huge difference. Bring them along and anything else you can think of, especially in a painting sense. Let’s come together as a community to spruce up our school and improve the environment for our children. As ever, thanks to Jim for his continued work and those who have done some excellent preparatory work this week in the lead up to Monday’s event. Your participation would be greatly appreciated. We hope to see you there. Ní neart go cur or chéile.
