We would kindly request that the parents whose kids will be participating in the celebration with a poem to email me (secretary@helleniccommunity.ie) or the teacher Mr Vaios Manolis (manolisvaios@gmail.com) by Monday the 21st of October to notify us if for any reason they will be unable to attend the celebration. We ask this so that the teacher can plan the programme of the celebration.
Thanking you in advance for your collaboration.
