'Pretty in Pink' from St Joseph's

Plans are hotting up for a vey exciting night in Kilcullen Town Hall on Thursday 13 February. St Joseph's NS Halverstown will host 'Pretty in Pink' commencing at 7pm.

This fundraiser is a joint venture between the school and the Irish Cancer Society supporting Pink Ribbon breast cancer awareness. This is shaping up to be the best treat in town for the ladies in recent times. Doors open at 7pm to a reception of pink sparkles, bubbles, yummies, games, St Valentines fun and surprises.

Patrons will take their seats for the cinema screening of 'Pretty in Pink' at 8pm. Afterwards some lucky ladies will go home with beautifully selected raffle prizes to keep with the pink theme. Dress code is ... you guessed it, pink. Tickets retail at €20 and are available from St Joseph's NS (045)485374 or Bernard Berney's Pharmacy.

The annual Grandparents' Day celebrations were held at St Joseph's NS this week. The rain didn't stop the fun as young and old engaged in painting, crafts, science, knitting and games. Everybody gathered in the Junior room for singing, dancing and music. It was a joy to see both generations participate in both the singing and the dancing. Afterwards the grandparents retired for a high tea supplied and served by some parents.

Pictured above are pupils from St Joseph's NS who enjoyed a tour of the Britvic Ireland factory this week where they taste-tested some of the new summer range of soft drinks. Below is a scene from Grandparents Day at St Joseph's NS this week.
