Note from the Parent’s Association:
The Kilmacrennan Parents’ Association are pleased to announce the return of their annual Halloween Family Quiz. The quiz will be held in the school hall on Wednesday, 26th October at 7.30pm. There will be spot prizes for the best fancy dress. This is a family quiz and all children should attend with an adult. We would ask for parent volunteers from 2nd & 4th class to help out on the night. Please contact Pauline Gallagher if you’re available to help out on the night. The Parents’ Association would also ask for donations for prizes for the night: tins of biscuits/sweets, small vouchers etc. It’s €5 per family for the quiz and and raffle tickets will be sold on the night. The Parents’ Association will have a tuck shop on the night for the children. Kilmacrennan Parents’ Association

Sixth Class pupils are scheduled to visit the Ulster-American Folk Park on Wednesday of this week. A six-week Swimming lessons course – beginning on 8th November – is planned for pupils in Second and Fifth class. Respective class teachers will furnish further details nearer the time.
Our school had a successful outing at the recent Cross-Country Athletics in Milford and we now look forward to competing in the Donegal Finals in Buncrana on 20 October.
Further upcoming events include Maths Week, the Letterkenny & District Schools Soccer League and Cumann na mBunscol GAA blitzes. We also hope to reschedule the events from the Wainfest Literary Festival that were cancelled due to the tragic events in Creeslough.
I respectfully request that you please refresh your child’s name on school jumpers, coats etc over the coming days. I also wish to restress the importance of keeping the school car park for bus and staff parking only. Finally, I wish to remind you that the school does not accept responsibility for the supervision of pupils before the opening of the School Gates at 9 am.
The school will close for Mid-term break on Friday, 28th October at 2/3pm for pupils and re-open on Monday, 7th November.
Yours sincerely,
John Devenney.
