Newbridge Community Library is again running the Summer Stars Reading Adventure for primary school children this Summer. Summer Stars is an exciting reading-based programme which is available free of charge to children across the country, where children are asked to read and review eight books over the Summer holidays. Each child is invited to register for the adventure at their local library and enjoy reading many books as part of the adventure during the summer holidays. All participants will be given a Summer Stars Reading Card to record and track their own progress and a library reward stamp will be added to their reading card at the library after each book read. Children will be encouraged to continue reading throughout the programme and there will be rewards and incentives along the way. At the end of the adventure, all children who participate are invited to attend an award event at which they will be presented with their own Summer Stars certificate.Children and families will also have access to fun reading activities on the Summer Stars website, www.summerstars.ie. The site has lots of online activities as well as a range of animated ebooks. You will find a children's books discussion board and interviews with well-known people about their favourite books. There are also helpful tips for reading and recommended titles by age group for children to read. The books can then be borrowed from your local library service, and it's all free. Events for children will also be held in Newbridge Library during the summer. Further information is available from your local library or on www.librariesireland.ie / www.kildare.ie/library.
Civvies Day Friday 25 June

Tomorrow Friday 25 June we will be having a civvies day. This is a fundraising event to raise money for a young man Charlie Gannon who contracted meningitis back in 2008 at the age of eleven. Charlie is a nephew of Mrs. Margaret Mahon, Deputy Principal of St. Conleth’s Infant School. Charlie lost an arm and a leg and now requires more surgery to have his other leg amputated. As you can imagine all of the above brings many challenges and 3 prosthetic limbs are very costly - a bionic arm for example costs €100K. Charlie has launched a Go Fund Me campaign today and as part of this campaign we are asking the children to bring in any loose coins tomorrow, Friday as part of the civvies day. Margaret Mahon would like to thank you in advance for any contribution that you will make. You can read Charlie’s story on: gofund.me/4527f8a7

Congratulations to 6th class 2021 who had their end of year school mass today. Fr Lawlor presided over a wonderful ceremony but the absence of the children's parents was sorely felt. We hope that many of you were able to watch via the web cam and that you enjoyed the service. Congratulations to Sam Whelan and Kathleen Ward who were awarded the Teresa Doyle award for 2021. We are very proud of all the children in 6th class and we wish them very well as they move on to post primary school.
