The Easter Bunny Calls

While the Junior and Senior Infants were outside playing, the Easter Bunny slipped inside and left treats for all the boys and girls. Rhona the secretary thinks she may have caught a glimpse of his furry tail as he rushed out the front door to deliver more Easter eggs.

Thank you for the Easter Treats!

Green Schools - Walk for Water

23/3/2023

Our Green School Committee organised a Walk for Water to celebrate World Water Day. We did this to raise awareness about women and children in countries around the world, who walk on average 6km a day to access water, and have to carry heavy loads of up to 20 Litres on their way back. Often the water they find is dirty and not fit for human consumption. Our Walk for Water made us realise how lucky we are to have safe drinking water and sanitation. We also got to observe the signs of Spring in the beautiful countryside surrounding our school.

There were books, cars, dolls, bags, clothes, jewellery, cakes, buns, popcorn, jelly, nail painting and a very special; 'Guess the name of the teddy'. Thank you to all the children who were very happy customers, and raised a massive €380 for Pieta House. Thank you very much to everyone, especially the Amber flag committee. It was lovely to see such a great buzz and excitement from the children today.
