Nahyan’s Christmas Party
08/12/2022 We are delighted Nahyan is out of hospital. He is really looking forward to his Christmas Party. We have spoken to Linda in Huckleberry’s Den and bus driver James and we are all sorted to play, play, play tomorrow morning. Tomorrow is non-uniform day for Ranganna Ailis and Angela, Senior Infants. Again, Linda has ever-so-kindly given us the use of the Den, free of charge. Parents, please pop in to Huckleberry’s over the Christmas holidays for a play and give this very generous local business a plug on social media. Thank you Linda. Let us never forget how precious life is. We wish Nahyan and all his family a very special Christmas from all your friends at Ard Rí CNS. 02/12/2022 Nahyan is the bravest little warrior at Ard Rí. He has been battling cancer for so long now. Unfortunately in recent times Nahyan has been feeling unwell again. Nahyan had a scan a few weeks ago and sadly the news was not so good. Nahyan loves coming to school and spending time with all his friends. We have organised a little trip to our local playcenter, Huckleberry’s Den for Nahyan and all the boys and girls in Senior Infants on Wednesday 7th of December. Linda at Huckleberry’s Den is a friend of Ard Rí CNS. She has ever-so-kindly given us the use of the Den, free of charge. Parents, please pop in to Huckleberry’s over the Christmas holidays for a play and to support this very generous local business. Thank you Linda. LMETB and Ard Rí CNS will cover the cost of the bus. Wednesday will be...Smashing Pumpkins Festival 2022
From very humble beginnings our, now annual, Family Pumpkin Carving Competition has grown and grown into an extravaganza of imagination and creativity. With no homework yesterday evening, to allow time to prepare, there was a steady stream of Ard Rí families in search of the perfect pumpkin at SuperValu. Every year mums and dads swear not to leave the project until the night before…maybe next year they will be more organised…maybe not! Some families have been researching and planning the project for weeks others are more spontaneous in their design, they work best under pressure. Many families worked late into the night! From early morning the fruits of their labor began streaming in the gates. Some chose the traditional carving route while others add paint, props, lights and all the extras. Some designs are horrifying while others have the cute factor. Pokemon and Minions were very popular this bumper year. Ghosts, spiders, buzzy bees, Star Wars, witches, cats, werewolves, popcorn, skeletons, Minecraft, bats and ninjas the lists of themes and categories is endless. 145 pumpkins in all! A huge thank you to everyone for taking part. The children get such pride and fun from their fabulous creations. Well done to everyone and all the team at Ard Rí CNS wish you a safe and fun...Strictly Come Dancing @Ard Rí CNS
It all got a little bit crazy today as a bad case of ballroom fever spread rapidly through the population of Ard Rí CNS. The school staff and some boys and girls put on our very own production of Strictly Come Dancing. It all started off as a bit of a joke a few weeks ago but the crew really embraced it and rehearsed hard to put on a show we will never forget. There was definitely a Glastonbury vibe to it all as the whole school stood out in the rain to watch their teachers, SNAs, Anna and Ewa perform classics like Ghostbusters, Baby Shark, My Lovely Horse and the one and only Elvis Presley even made an appearance. The show couldn’t have happened without our presenters (especially Jennifer Zamparelli), security staff, producers, judges and adjudicators. They had a tough job and after some performers were disqualified for bribery and match-fixing, Jack and Ewa were declared very worthy winners for their tear-jerking rendition of Leaving on a Jet Plane. Bravo! I would like to give a huge thank you to everyone who took part and especially to our fabulous audience. We had too much fun! After a wee break, Ard Rí CNS are back on Twitter. Follow us @ArdRi_CNS and don’t be too shy to give us lots of Likes or even better an odd Retweet so we can share our story far and wide!! Have a lovely weekend...Navan Rugby Club 24HR WALKATHON
