Annual in School Charity Fundraising Bazaar
Our Charity Bazaar is held annually to enable St. Rynagh’s help charities that come to our attention throughout the year.
The Bazaar will be held on Mon. 12th Feb. We will also run activities in the week before the Bazaar starting on the Thurs. 1st Feb.
As in previous years we need prizes for the Bazaar. The prizes are donated by the children from their own toys. Children are asked to bring in little used toys or games in very good condition that can be recycled as prizes. Please do not donate pre-school toys. We are looking for toys that pupils may have grown out of, may not enjoy playing with themselves or may have duplicates of.
Recycle, Reuse, Replay!
Prizes can be donated to the school starting on Tuesday 30th Jan.
The Fundraising competitions will be held in classes from Thurs. 1st to Fri. 9th Feb. All competitions will cost 50 cent and children can enter as many times as they wish. On Mon. 12th there will be a prize giving ceremony in the morning for all the competitions and in the afternoon the children will play bingo, musical chairs, statue dancing, fishing etc. These games will cost from 50c to €2 each.
To help infants manage their money if they give their teacher €5 they will be entered into daily competitions during the week and into competitions on the day of the Bazaar. Infants who understand money can bring in additional money in a little purse with their name on, on the Bazaar day and will be allowed to spend it.
School will begin and finish at the normal times on Mon. 12th Feb.
St. Brigid’s Day – Monday 5th Feb. School will be closed.
Our Mid-Term Break: The school will be closed on Thurs. 15th and Fri. 16th Feb.
