We are very proud of our pupils who took part in the Cross Country Championship in Carrickmacross on Sunday representing Glaslough Harriers and taking home both individual medals and club medals as their athletics club Glaslough Harriers won the overall county championship.
Congratulations also to our Ulster Cross County medal winner and we wish him very good luck as he goes to the All Irelands on 1st December!
The pupils in the Senior Room wrote about themselves as Gaeilge. Then they used shaving foam and food colouring to create their marbled background!
We had a visit from Caitlín & Ciarán as part of the Tradoodle Featival 2024. This event was organized by Music Generation Cavan/Monaghan.
We had a brilliant time listening to different styles of music, song, and dance and we even learned some new moves! It was great to see all of the children enjoy the Irish culture. 🎶
Last week our free hot schools meals began. Every child receives a free hot school meal every day at school supplied by local company Truagh Spirit. The children are really enjoying their meals so far.
The children in the Junior Classroom enjoyed gathering leaves and doing some leaf rubbing in our outdoor classroom!
Today we got to take home a little taste of produce we have grown in our school garden! Potatoes and rhubarb!
It was lovely to welcome all the children back to school on Monday morning. It is all change at The Billis this week with new principal Mrs Laura McAree and new SNA Mrs Yvonne Martin. We are missing Mrs Williamson dearly as we navigate this new path together. Miss Gilmour is covering our Senior Classroom until Mrs Ritchie returns from parental leave. We are looking forward to a fun-filled year together!
At the end of the school term, we celebrated Mrs. Williamson’s retirement. This was a very special day! We at The Billis are so very grateful to have had Mrs Williamson. Mrs Williamson taught at The Billis for the past 33 years. She was 26 years the Principal. She will be greatly missed!
We were so delighted that Mrs Gilmour offered to bring in her beautiful dog called ‘Amy’ and its gorgeous four week old pup called ‘Sue’. We all loved their cuddles!
