Ballyellis N.S. Parents’ Association News

Our annual field day will be taking place on Sunday 3rd of June
following the patron mass in Askamore. Baking donations, homemade
buns, cakes etc. would be greatly appreciated for the cake stall and
tea tent.

All houses will also be asked to donate items for the bottle
and book stalls.

Raffle cards are also out now and all proceeds from
both fundraisers will be going towards the building of the new
extension.

Work on this is due to commence during the mid-term break
in May and is scheduled to be completed by Sept 2012.

The recent cake sale held after mass in Askamore on April 15th raised
€548.60 which will also be going towards the building. This is
appreciated as is the continued support of the people, especially in
these tough economic times. The school extension is a major project
which is necessary due to numbers increasing and it will be a huge
benefit to the comfort and education of our children for years to
come.
