From the Board of Management

Extra curricular activities: To help us plan next year's programme, we're asking parents to complete a short survey about Extra Curricular Activities. Maybe have a chat with your children about the activities they've done this year and complete it together? It should only take a couple of minutes: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/WBJPMT9

From the Student Council:

Well done to everyone who has raised funds for the park so far – read the Student Council notices on the window for fundraising ideas and for what we have raised so far. Thanks to Cory, Ethan and Annie’s mum for the note below:

LINEAR PARK FUND RAISING OPPORTUNITY FOR RMDS CHILDREN

The very generous organisers of Whippersnapperings (The Family Festival organised by Happenings) have invited RMDS students to fundraise at their Saturday Family Day on 21st May  in Wesley Hall from 13h30 - 17h00.  Huge numbers are expected to attend the festival which has lots of fun family activities, and a screening of Finding Nemo.  As there is no food offering on site, RMDS students are invited to run mini stalls on site offering baked goods, juices, etc. If you think your children might be interested in participating, please email avrilwhelan@hotmail.com.  More information on www.happenings.ie
