Grandparents' Day
1st February 2023
Catholic School’s Week In Mary Queen of Peace PS concluded with Grandparents’ Day (1 February 2023).
The children invited their grandparents to mass in the church, followed by Primary 3’s assembly in the Parish Hall. Mrs McKeown’s class helped everyone in the hall celebrate this year’s theme of Walking Together in Faith and Love. Thank you Primary 3.
Our magnificent PTA provided refreshments for the grandparents, special family members and the children’ s parents. A real treat and it is so good to be back celebrating together in person. This was our first opportunity to celebrate Grandparents’ Day in three years. We are very appreciative too of the support from Sperrin Bakery.
The Parish Hall was adorned with grandparents’ art. Our pupils have been working hard on art (in particular print and collage), with art being one of the priorities in the School Development Plan. The children wanted an audience to view their work and who better than their grandparents!
We really did walk together in faith and love during Grandparents’ Day. Thank-you to all of the school’s staff; Mrs McLoughlin (RE Co-ordinator); Mrs Sharkey (Art Co-ordinator); Mrs McKeown and the Primary 3 team; Mrs McNicholl (Vice-Principal); Mrs Gormley (website); PTA members; Denise for the administration; Fr Paul; and most of all to the children’s grandparents.
Enjoy the photos.
