Grandparent’s Day in Scoil Naomh Pádraig

By MARY BOYCE

Scoil Naomh Pádraig was filled with warmth and joy on Friday, 31st January, as we marked Grandparent’s Day in conjunction with Catholic Schools Week. It was a double celebration, giving thanks for our wonderful grandparents and parents while also honouring St. Brigid and Lá Fhéile Bríde. The day began with a special Thanksgiving Mass, where we reflected on the love, wisdom, and guidance that grandparents bring to our lives. Afterwards, everyone gathered in the school hall for a cuppa and a chance to share stories and laughter. The children delighted their grandparents with wonderful musical performances, creating a truly memorable atmosphere.

A highlight of the day was the classroom tour, where grandparents had the opportunity to see their grand-children’s learning environment. As a special token of appreciation, the grandparents were presented with a Brigid’s Cross, made with care by the children.

It was a day filled with love, gratitude, and treasured memories. A huge go raibh míle maith agaibh to all who joined us—we look forward to celebrating again next year!
