St Joseph's national School Raffle 2007.

Photos of the Raffle - Thursday 29th. March 2007.

 

With last year’s money we finished off the computer room. We have networked 30 computers which are now used by your children. We continue to buy licensed networked software for use on these computers. If anyone would like to come in and see our completed computer room please give me a ring at 32984 and we will arrange a viewing. Keep up to date with school events by visiting us on www.iosef.ie

We fenced off and levelled the school field which is now enjoyed by all.

This Summer we will replace windows at a cost of €35,000 with the school providing 10% of funding and 90% by Government Grant through the Summer Work Scheme.

We are currently upgrading some of the toilets with painting, new fittings, and tiles.

We continue to expand the class libraries and graded reading schemes.

Sports equipment is being continuously upgraded and we are embarking on fitting out the sports storage room in school at a cost of €2,700 . We have received a grant of €2,000 with the €700 being provided from school funds.

We installed extra C.C.T.V. cameras for the safety of your children and the school.

Any money raised from the raffle will fund school projects and continue to keep up the school’s high standards. Another area we are embarking on this year is expansion of maths materials for the school.

Enclosed please see 4 books of tickets which we hope you will be able to purchase or sell. We will, of course, have extra tickets for people to sell. The more we sell the more we can provide for your children.
