Pandemonium in Grand Central Terminal

Sorry that I couldn’t make it last night folks, as you can imagine It was pandemonium in GCT though………. Hordes of people panicking. At one point I was actually carried along by a crowd running to get on a train to Norwalk…I almost got on it as I didn’t know what the panic was about at the time and thought that something had happened in the city and any way out would be better than staying…………..Then I asked a man who would nt stop to answer me, then I asked another who told me about the building collapse…………
Trains were running one and a half to two hours late.....oh well....We’ll have a make up session.

Make Up Date

We will have a make up class on April 29th, due to the cancellation of classes on February 12th.

New session begun

We started the new term last Tuesday night, Feb 19, without incident…It is nice to see everyone again. There was some discussion about moving the classes to Wednesday evening which is something we will look at in the future if Wednesday suits more people. For now however we will stay with Tuesday as organized. I have not received confirmation of our make up date yet and will post it here as soon as I know.

Fáilte Romhat. Welcome

A Chairde,
This objective of this site is to provide information on the activities of An Scoil Chois Claí. In addition, as was proved yesterday, February 12th, (which should have been the first day of our current 10 weeks session at IONA College,) it will be valuable in disseminating information when plans change, due to weather or any other unforeseen event. Posts to this site will be primarily in English as it is not intended to be a learning center, but more of a support to our activities, a communication point, and it must be accessible to all.

Slán tamall,
Hilary
