Christmas Market & Bake Sale
5th & 6th organised a very successful Christmas market and bake sale. The children kindly donated a percentage of their profits to Cavan Hospital children’s ward. They also donated 25 euro to Down Syndrome Ireland. A huge thank you to all who supported the fundraising initiatives. We wish to thank Mrs Doherty for organising the Christmas Markets with her class. Christmas Plays We hope everyone enjoyed the wonderful play that was performed by Junior and Senior Infants on Tuesday, 17th of December. Pupils from 1st to 6th class sang Christmas Carols and played Christmas music in the church and it certainly reminded us about what Christmas is all about. A huge thank you to all the staff for their hard work in preparing the pupils so well for their performances. Parent’s Association Raffle The Parent’s Association held their annual Christmas raffle in the Old School on Monday, 16th of December. There was a fantastic effort made this year to sell tickets. We want to thank everyone who made a huge effort to sell the tickets in their community. I want to thank all the generous sponsors of the raffle. Without their support there would not be a raffle. We also want to thank the Parent’s Association for organising and holding the draw. Finally, we want to thank Brid, our school secretary who distributed the tickets to all the families, kept account of the money received and with the help of the pupils prepared all the tickets for the draw.
