Winter Celebration
All are welcome to attend our bi-annual night on Wednesday next. Performance will begin at 8.00pm sharp. Children should be dropped to classrooms at 7pm for dressing and face painting. All volunteers welcome! Parents can park and take a seat in the SMA hall next door. Limited parking in the SMA grounds so please park in the Abbey. Staff will chaperone children across before 8pm. The running order of the night is as follows:
Jun and Sen Infants – Our Little Stars
1st and 2nd Class – The Blueberry Adventures
3rd and 4th Class – Cinderella (The modern version)
5th and 6th Class – An Fachtóir X
Children will have a reserved seat to watch each performance on the night or you may take them home immediately after their class finishes.
Bearing in mind the late hour and the young participants there will be no tea/coffee served, everyone can go straight home from the SMA house and get a well deserved rest!
