Looking Good ... after 'Meitheal' Part 2!

Patrickswell N.S. is looking great after another wonderful demonstration of community spirit in the village.

Voluntary work is the way to go ... power to the people!

'Meitheal' to Paint the School

Meitheal

The Irish word ‘Meitheal’ means ‘a collective effort for the greater good of the community’. It describes the old Irish tradition of people coming together to respond to local needs.

Míle buíochas / sincere thanks to all who helped out with the recent painting of the schoolyard and those who started painting the front of the school today (see photos)...

Check in here for details of the next voluntary painting day at the school - hopefully, you'll be able to come along for an hour or two...

Here's what's left to do (see photos). We also need to paint plinths, barges, windowsills and the metal bars around the gates...

Grandparents Day in Patrickswell N.S.

We will celebrate Grandparents Day in Patrickswell N.S. on Monday next, June 19th.

All grandparents, grandaunts, granduncles, older neighbours and friends are welcome to visit the school at 11.30 on June 19th. At that time, the children will show samples of the project work and artwork to their VIP guests. Following this, there will be a short concert in the School Hall, followed by a quick 'cuppa.'

We look forward to welcoming lots of our pupils' very important guests to the school. We hope some of your family relations will be able to attend. They will all be very welcome.

Mrs Meaney - ar dheis Dé go raibh a hanam

Our deepest condolences to the family of Mrs Helena Meaney who passed away in Co. Kildare yesterday, May 17th, 2017. Mrs Meaney taught in Patrickswell National School for many years. She will be remembered by generations of Patrickswell people as a kind and hugely enthuasistic Senior Infants teacher.  She was a very popular figure in the school and in the wider community. She will be greatly missed. May she rest in peace. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a hanam dílis.
