The Carnival parade

10/01/2013 09:24

The Carnival is a parade organised as part of The Gathering and is taking place in the Twin Towns on St Patricks Day. The children from Scoil Mhuire have the opportunity to take part. If you are interested in your child (children) taking part, please read the following:

• The children will need costumes for the parade. Each class has been assigned a theme and you will know from this what costume your child needs. We would ask you to assemble as much of the costume as possible at home. We will be adding finishing touches to costumes but we need you to prepare the bulk of the costume yourself.

 

• On the day of the parade, parents are fully responsible for their child/ children. Parents must be there to collect children at the end of the parade. We will provide you with times and pick up points when we receive more information from the organisational committee.  If Infant children are taking place, a parent must be present to walk the child through the parade from the start to the end.

 

Please read the following and complete. Return to class teacher before Wednesday  16^th of January 2013.
