The Bend in the Road
Sometimes we come to life’s crossroads
And we view what we think is the end.
But god has a much wider vision
And he knows it’s only a bend.
The Road will go on and get smoother
And after we’ve stopped for a rest ,
The path that lies hidden beyond us
Is often the path that is best.
So rest and relax and grow stronger,
Let go and let God share your load
And have faith in a brighter tomorrow.
You’ve just come to a bend in the road.

Through the Ages Competition Time
Through the Ages
Mayo County Library announces the launch of ‘Through The Ages’, a project that will see children aged between six and 16 become reporters for the day – and the subject matter for these young reporters will be their grandparents. The children are being asked to contact their grandparents over Skype, Facetime or even the old-fashioned landline and ask them about some aspect of their younger years, whether it is schooldays, rural life on the farm or in the town, emigration, the social scene, travelling cinemas or any other aspect of life as it was once lived in Ireland.
Each child must then write the report in their own handwriting and submit it to Mayo County Library where all of the entries will be collated, digitised and preserved in the library’s archives as a permanent record of this very unique Mayo Day 2020. There will be prizes in a number of age categories for the best entries and a selection of the reports will be published in the Western People, while each child will also receive a certificate.
Closing date is the 15th of May. Please clink on the link to find out more.

Message for Parents
The Easter holidays will start on Friday the 3rd of April. We believe that this is an important break for our school community from what has been an extraordinary period. If you would like to encourage your child to take a complete break from all school work during the spring holiday we would support this.However, we appreciate that the routine of at-home learning has become important to the wellbeing of many of our students. Our teachers will therefore share with their classes some online engaging activities that the children might enjoy during this two-week period. We have also been collating a list of free online resources to support the curriculum during this closure. You can access these resources under the tab 'Online Resources' at the top of the page or simply click the link below.
Our thoughts are with you and your families for your health and safety. We miss you all.
Kind regards,
The Staff of Scoil Chomáin Naofa

The flags can be county or club colours.
