We were asked to share the following poster below.

We teach children how to read, write and solve problems—but some of the most important life skills aren't taught in school.

🌿 How to understand big feelings.
🌿 How to calm a busy mind.
🌿 How to build confidence from within.

**Kids Yoga & Wellness** is an 8-week programme designed to nurture these skills through yoga, mindfulness, breathing, storytelling and play.

📍 Killeigh Community Centre
🗓 Mondays 5–6pm | Ages 8–12
💚 €80

**Spaces are limited.** Message me to reserve a place. 🤍

It is with great sadness that, on behalf of Geashill Parents Council and our entire school community, we extend our sincere and heartfelt condolences to the Coughlan and Kelly families on the passing of Kathleen.

Our thoughts are especially with Eddie, our much-valued caretaker, on the loss of his sister, and Denise, our wonderful school secretary, on the loss of her mother-in-law, as well as Kathleen’s wider family and friends at this very difficult time.

Kathleen was a familiar and much-loved figure in Geashill, known by so many as a kind, gentle and caring person. Her warmth and kindness touched many lives, and she will be greatly missed throughout our community.

As a mark of respect anyone who wishes to stand out with us at the school today, Kathleen will be arriving home for 3.30 pm

Funeral arrangements are included below.

May Kathleen rest in peace. 🕊️

Ar dheis Dé go raibh a hanam dílis.

Hi everyone!

We hope all our Geashill N.S. families are having a lovely break and enjoying the summer holidays .

We wanted to share a little reminder about something special happening in our skies tomorrow evening -a solar eclipse 🌞 🌑

It should be a lovely opportunity for the children (and grown-ups) to enjoy a little bit of astronomy together . Have a look at the poster below for the times, some fun facts and, most importantly , how to watch safely 😎

Enjoy, and fingers crossed for clear skies. 🙌

A Heartfelt Thank You

We extend our sincere thanks to all the parents, current students, past pupils, staff, and members of our wider school community who joined us today to pay their final respects to Fr. Coonan.

Your presence at his funeral, and the moving Guard of Honour as we accompanied him to his final resting place, was a beautiful and fitting tribute to a man who gave so much to our school, parish, and community.

May Fr. Coonan rest in eternal peace.

A reminder that the Guard of Honour for Fr. Coonan will take place tomorrow, Monday 3rd August, at 1:15pm at St. Mary's Church, Raheen.

All current and past pupils, along with their parents and families, are very welcome to join us. Children taking part in the Guard of Honour should please assemble just inside the entrance gate at the side of the church, where members of the Geashill NS staff will be there to meet them.

Thank you all so much for your support as we come together to give Fr. Coonan a fitting farewell and to honour his many years of dedicated service to our school and parish. May he rest in peace.
