PTA – FUNDRAISING

Friday, November 5th, 2010

Last year Catherine O’Halloran  raised almost €600 for the school  by running in the Women’s Mini Marathon in Galway on the 27th June 2010. Some of these funds have been used to buy flower bulbs which have already been planted in the school garden at the back of the premises

We look forward to seeing their work in full blooom this Spring.

The PTA meet on a regular basis in the school.  The PTA  welcomes all parents to come along to these meetings with new ideas for fundraising and organising events from which all our pupils benefit.
