We are good citizens

Each year we undertake a selection of charity work to raise much needed funds for worthy charities both locally, nationally and internationally. This year we did the following:

• Friendship Buddies arranged a colouring competition in September to raise funds to help get the playground marked with games. The raised almost €200. Great work done by all.
• Heinz Beans Tokens - Mr. O Donoghue is collecting any labels from the Heinz Beans to help save to purchase some new PE equipment for the school. Please send in any tokens that you have to him.
• Shoebox Appeal - Ms. Higgins organised the Annual Christmas Shoebox appeal. As always this was a resounding success and a huge number of boxes were brought into the school. Thanks to everyone for their generosity.
• MS Readathon - The children in the senior classes, organised by Ms. Mulholland and Ms. Galligan, are undertaking the MS Readathon and have raised almost €900.
