The weather has been fantastic this week. We were able to transplant our peas and beans to our raised beds. We will be busy weeding and watering for the next few weeks!

The weather has been glorious the last couple of weeks and we have been on our school pitch practising our skills regularly. We have training every Monday after school and GAA coach John works with each class on Thursdays. We are really grateful to have such fantastic facilities.

Well done to the boys and girls who competed in the hurling amigos skills competition in very pleasant conditions at the Sligo GAA Centre of Excellence in Scarden.

We all love reading in Rathlee NS and this year's Book Fair has been a tremendous success. Thanks to everyone in our school community for your support.

Bonjour! Our 3rd - 6th class children have just completed a very enjoyable and useful series of French lessons with tutor Brendan Doyle.

We were delighted to participate in the Easkey St. Patrick's Day Parade. The children dressed up in environmental themed costumes and played their tin-whistles. Thank you to all who took part and all the staff in our school who helped on the day.
