Hi Everyone,

The Green School’s Campaign is back. Our Green School’s coordinator this year is Miss Gaffey. To date we have been awarded six Green Flags. This new school year brings a new theme in order to obtain a 6^th Green Flag for our school. This year our theme is Global Citizenship – Litter and Waste. We will be in touch with you during the year to let you know how you can help us with our most recent challenge.

 

After voting in our classes, our new Green Flag Committee is as follows:

6th Class	5th Class	4th Class	3rd Class
Ciarán Mc Mahon Helena O’ Keeffe	Harry Gaffey	Ben Touhy Cara Leonard	Marty Gaffey

2nd Class	1st Class	Senior Infants	Junior Infants
Hannah Touhy	Caitlín Starr	Clodagh Mc Cole	Jack Bows

We continue to use the hazardous boxes in school, so please continue to bring in your used batteries.

Remember not to throw litter around because we want to keep the school grounds clean. Remember also to use the correct bins for your rubbish.

Along with keeping the school clean we must also keep in mind our most recent themes of ‘Energy Conservation’ and ‘Water Conservation’. Remember to turn off lights and any other electrical appliances when not in use. Turn off taps fully and report any dripping/leaking taps
