A Chairde, We have almost reached the end of a very eventful 2018. Our Deputy Principal Aingeal Ní Chonghaola passed away in January, leaving behind many good friends, fond memories and deep sense of loss. Aingeal joins her dear friend Marie Queeney in a much better place, and we know that they are watching over us together.

Inspectors from the Department of Education and Skills conducted a Whole School Evaluation in our school in January and gave us an excellent report, which is no less than our fantastic pupils, parents, teachers, Board of Management, Parents’ Association and school community deserve.

Fundraising for our New School Project continued apace, with proceeds from Know Your Sport, the Golf Classic the 20K Drop and our Music CD adding greatly to our warchest, which will help us to provide our pupils and teachers with the modern, well-equipped school they deserve.

The Board of Management and Staff of Scoil Mhuire would like to wish all of our pupils and their families a very happy and peaceful Christmas. Nollaig Shona agus Athbhliain Faoi Mhaise daoibh go léir.

Don oíche úd i mBeithil beidh tagairt faoi ghréin go

brách, Don oíche úd i mBeithil

gur tháinig an Briathar slán; Tá gríosghrua ar spéartha

's an talamh 'na chlúdach bán; Féach Íosagán sa chléibhín,

's an Mhaighdean 'á dhiúl le grá Ar leacain lom an tsléibhe go nglacann na haoirí scáth Nuair in oscailt ghil na spéire

tá teachtaire Dé ar fáil; Céad glóir anois don Athair

sa bhFlaitheasa thuas go hard! Is feasta fós ar sa thalamh d'fheara dea-mhéin' siocháin!
