NATIONAL SCHOOL PARENTS ASSOCIATION EGM
There will be an EGM for the Tullyallen National School Parents Association on Tuesday 12th February at 8pm in the school and they urge all the parents who have children in the school to attend. The parents association raise funds for and organize the Confirmation Reception, Communion Reception, Sports Day, Oldbridge Family Walk & Santas Visit and Gifts not to mention financial contribution to swimming lessons, music lessons, storytelling, & planetarium but to name a few. If every parent gave just a little of their time the workload would be distributed thinly among everyone and the children would continue to benefit from the Trojan work that some of the parents have been doing in recent times. But they are in need of help to do this and without a new injection of parents to the association the children will no doubt be the ones to lose out. So if every parent can make a note of the 12th February 8pm in their diary and go along and give just a little help, the Parents Association will continue to help the school in every way they can.
