A group of our students, that were involved in a Bank of Ireland ‘Smart Challenge’, recently donated their €1000 winnings to Pieta House. The students were given the choice as to what they would like to do with the money and we couldn’t be prouder of the choice that they made. Please see the attached PDF which contains a letter from Pieta House expressing their gratitude for this donation and for the students outstanding generosity. A huge well done to Callum McIvor, Eoin Keogh, Ultan Casserly, Conor Devereux, Eoghan Hyde, Alex Ferreria, Ethan O’Halloran and Adam Halford for their work and kindness.

Sunday March 21st is World Down Syndrome Day and we are asking all students and parents of Naas CBS to help us raise awareness this Friday 19th and 'Rock Your Socks'. To our 5th and 6th years in school, we'd love it if you could wear bright, colourful and even odd socks to help support Down Syndrome Ireland. For our students at home, please rock your socks on Friday too and send in photos to us. To our teachers both in school on Friday and teaching from home, we'd love you to get involved and 'Rock Your Socks'. All photos can be sent to Ms. Fennell dfl@naascbs.ie and we will display them early next week. The Kildare branch of Down Syndrome Ireland have kindly shared a video they made about the pandemic and the effect lockdown has had on them - 'Our Story Through Covid' youtu.be/ZYc0gRtHQB0 Please help us raise awareness this week and Rock Your Socks.

Transition Year
The Transition Year group are going to do some virtual fundraising for Daffodil Day and the Irish Cancer Society. Daffodil Day street collections have once again had to be cancelled this year. To help support the Irish Cancer Society and the 44,000 Irish people affected by cancer each year, we have set up a virtual collection page to raise vital funds. So what next? This will be kept very simple - I am asking all TY students to do a 5km walk or run. When? Next Tuesday 23rd March - All classes will stop for TYs from 12.30p.m to give you the chance to get out and about. (Feel free to start now!) While out I want students to take a photo of their walk/run, and if possible get some daffodils in the shot. Send the photo to me via email sc@naascbs.ie I would also like for them to post on social media including some of the hashtags #naascbs #daffodilday #irishcancersociety There is a virtual donation page set up. This is the link: daffodilday-virtualcollection.blackbaud-sites.com/fundraising/naas-cbs-transition-year-202021-fundraising-p I have attached a Slides Presentation outlining some extra information. It can also be accessed through this link: docs.google.com/presentation/d/1mH720xHMaQYX2vyG_nDmoH8uYnRwuP3IH0PEnI3t5LE/edit?usp=sharing I have also attached a series of images you can use to post on social media to raise awareness. Have a look through these images as they are eye-opening to what your donations can do. There is also a QR code also which when scanned will bring people directly to our donation page. I would love to see the lads come together as a year group and make a special effort for this. If anyone needs any help just let me know. All the best, S.Coy

Transition Year
Global Money Week is a worldwide initiative aimed at inspiring young people to learn about money matters and takes place this year from the 22nd March.  This year’s theme is ‘Taking care of your money, taking care of yourself’, and it aims to help young people to learn to manage their money wisely now and into the future. MABS, the Money Advice and Budgeting Service, is supporting Global Money Week and is offering to provide an interactive workshop on money matters to students in transition year, which specifically focusses on the skills of budgeting and saving.   The workshop builds upon many years’ experience of providing money management education in the community and focuses on the interests and needs of young people. I have organised this workshop for next Monday 22nd March at 14.00p.m Places are limited however so all interested TY students must contact me via email (sc@naascbs.ie) to register and I will forward the link closer to the time. If there is sufficient interest I will arrange a second workshop after Easter.
