Non-Uniform Day
Friday the 16th December provided the children with a very rare opportunity whereby they did not have to wear their uniform .
This of course was all for a good cause.The money raised went to the local St. Vincent De Paul Society in Castleblayney.
The cheque was presented to Carmel Allen who visited the school and outlined to the children how the money would be spent.She also expressed her gratitude to the children for this generous gesture of goodwill.
Carol singing In Castleblayney
On Wednesday 21st December the pupils of Fourth,fifth and Sixth class escorted by their teachers went into Castleblayney to perform Carol singing on the main street and in the Glencarn shopping Centre.They also brought with them their various instruments and delighted those passing by with beautiful festive music and song.
