Happy New Year to everyone in Laurel Lodge!

We hope that everyone in Scoil Thomáis has a wonderful year ahead in 2021!

Over the past number of weeks, members of staff have been busy decorating the school for Christmas! Here's a glimpse at our 'Elves Courtyard' which the children have thoroughly enjoyed visiting over the last few days and our beautiful 'Zen Den' which has been lit up with fairy lights and decorated with baubles!

Well done to all of our incredibly talented artists who took part in the annual Scoil Thomáis Christmas art competition! As always, the standard was incredibly high and the beautiful drawings, paintings and mixed media pieces have added a touch of festive cheer to our hallways and classrooms over the last few weeks. A big thank you to Ms. Boland for all of her work in organizing the competition!

Along with Ms McGarry, Ms Ryan, Geraldine and Collette, there are four Scoil Thomáis staff members who have worked tirelessly since September to keep the school clean, tidy, safe and open for us all. They are Mick and Tony our caretakers and Pauline and Regina our cleaners. All four of them have gone above and beyond in their own ways to help the pupils and staff to work in a safe environment during this school term like no other.

We would like to take this opportunity on behalf of the school pupils and staff to say a massive THANK YOU to Mick, Tony, Pauline and Regina.

During the run up to Christmas, they have been spreading cheer around the school with their decorated trolleys – another example of just how dedicated and caring all four of them are! 

We wish Mick, Tony, Pauline and Regina a well-deserved break with their families over the Christmas Holidays!

Have a look at the beautiful Christmas Villages created from recycled materials made by Ms O'Reilly's 4th Class in Room 19. Incredible work - well done boys and girls!

Our Scoil Thomáis Christmas Prayer Service will be streamed live from the Church this Thursday afternoon at 1.45pm until 2.25pm for classes 3rd - 6th. Visit www.laurellodgeparish.ie and click on webcam. Thank you to Ms Boland, Mr Kelly and Ms Steen for organising it and to the children from many classes who are doing readings, prayers and the singers who are also accompanying Mr Kelly for carols. Classes from 3rd to 6th will tune in and light a candle and create a prayerful space in their classes during the Prayer Service.
