Green School Newsletter

St. Joseph’s N.S. Woodford

May/June 2016

Hi Everyone,

The Green School’s Committee is back with our last newsletter of this school year. We were pleased to announce our school has recently been awarded with our 6^th Green Flag for ‘Global Citizenship – Litter and Waste’. 

Four representatives from our Green Schools Committee were presented with the flag in a special ceremony in Galway on Thursday 19^th May.

Thanks to everyone who participated in this great achievement and a special thanks to all the members of the Committee for all their hard work.

In September we will commence work on getting our 7^th Green Flag for ‘Global Citizenship – Energy’.  We hope everyone will participate in this task.

Remember:

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 of taps, lights and any other electrical appliances when not in use.

In other news!

Congratulations to the children in 2^nd class who recently received their First Holy Communion.

Congratulations to the children in 5^th & 6^th class who recently received the Sacrament of Confirmation.

Our school tour to Dublin is taking place on Friday 17^th June. We hope to have a great day!

Remember our motto:

Look After Your Environment and Provide Enjoyment
