Crazy Hat / Hair Day –

We were glad to be able to stage the above day to help our Parents’ Association in fundraising.  €312 was raised on their behalf. Even though they continued to help the school during Covid and lockdown they were unable to fundraise. They do so much for the pupils and the school and are always looking for volunteers. Please contact Aoife, Therese or Theresa for further information. The children got very involved in the day and some of the photos can be seen on our facebook page. Thanks to Aoife & PA for the treats today also.

We extend the compliments of this holy season to all our school community. School will reopen on Monday 25thApril.
