๐ค๐ Mr Joseph Edgar - RIP ๐๐ค
It is with great sadness I to write inform you of the death of our esteemed Chair of Governors, Mr Joseph Edgar, who passed away today having taken ill on Tuesday.
This is a terribly sad time for Joe's wife and daughter, and a massive loss for our school. Joe had St Malachy's running through his veins, he was on our Governors for nearly 20 years, and Chair for the past eight. He would tell anyone who would listen about St Malachy's - a fierce supporter of our school, who was immensely proud of our children, our staff and our community. On a personal level, I was proud to call Joe a friend โค๏ธ
All I would ask is that you keep Joe and his family in your prayers at this time, as we come to terms with the untimely death of a wonderful man.
RIP Joe โค๏ธ
๐ค๐Y5CM Roots of Empathy๐๐ค
On Wednesday our Roots of Empathy baby, Khianna, came to visit Mr Marsella's Y5 class and show off her new talents! Y5 have watched her grow and develop since she was a baby and can't believe that she can now crawl, has four teeth and is nearly walking! P5 are learning how to show empathy by watching Khianna and by chatting to her mummy about her development. What a special experience for all! โค๏ธโญ๏ธ
