Our children have a spot in the St. Patrick’s Day parade this year. The parent’s association would like to invite all students to participate. We’re working on creating an exciting performance on what best represents our school in 2010.
All participants in the St.Patrick’s Day Parade will assemble at the”South Beach Car Park” (Park and Ride) on Mill road at 11.15 am. They will all then move together as a group to the allocated 18th position on the Mill Road. The theme includes different coloured T-shirts to represent the different colors of the rainbow. These T-shirts have been purchased by the PA and will be distributed to all the children. They will be big enough to be worn over jackets. The children should wear clothes suitable for the weather and comfortable shoes. In preparation for the parade, the children will be making various objects from recycled materials next week, starting Monday the 6th of March.
Anna Rosenfelder is a professional puppeteer whose son Till is in junior infants. She will be working with the younger children to create magical birds, grasshoppers and butterflies for the children to hold in the parade. Sarah Kernaghan who runs our after school club will be working with the older students to make flowers from recycled milk jugs and buttons.
We would like to ask parents to contribute multicolored buttons, empty milk cartons with the lids on, straws and colored plastic bags(the flimsy variety) to be used in the creation of the artwork. All donations can be sent in with your children and given to the class teacher.
If you are happy for your child to participate, or if you as parent or guardian would like to volunteer as a chaperone , please email the P.A. : parade@greystonesetpa.org
We expect the children to spend about two and a half hours participating on the day, probably between 11.30am and 2pm on the 17th of March. Please contact the PA if you have any questions. We are always delighted to have more parental input.
