Well done to all the boys and girls who performed marvelously for our Christmas concert.

A Christmas Poem
They were followed by Mrs. Grady's class with:
Shotgun as Gaeilge
Footloose
Ms. Kilcoyne's class told the story of The Grinch who Stole Christmas. 
The boys and girls told the story beautifully and sang An Chéad Nollaig. They performed Merry Christmas Everyone using lámh hand signs and had some dancers performing too. 
Lastly, the children from 2nd - 6th class played some traditional Irish music to finish the show. Click the link below

We were delighted to take part in the "Let's Make it Happen" fundraising campaign which is being ran by Nicole Loughlin. Nicole is in the process of rasing €11,000 to build a school in Malawi, Africa. Nicole came to visit us in Killeen on Monday, the 10th of December. She showed us photos of her work in Malawi and the plans they have to build the post-primary school in March 2019. We all donated on Christmas Jumper Day and we raised over €240! Well done everyone.
