The boys and girls had an amazing day on their school tour visiting Turoe Pet Farm. From the enjoyable journey on the bus, to bouncing around in the Inflatable City to feeding all the animals we had a brilliant day! And the sunshine made it all more enjoyable!

Today we had our big Easter draw rounding out our Lenten Fundraiser. A big thank you to everyone who supported these past few weeks and especially to the boys and girls in 6th Class who took charge of the organisation of the fundraiser. €1,160 was raised this year which is a wonderful achievement for a small school. All the pupils in 4th, 5th and 6th class have decided that the funds will be split between the Irish Cancer Society, sponsorship of two students in the Franciscan Brother's school in Molo, Kenya and the Ashling Murphy Memorial Trust Fund, a cause which is close the our hearts here in Coolanarney N.S.

Wishing our children the best of luck and enjoyment as Coolanarney takes part in the St. Patrick's Day Parade in Mountbolus this year. Thank you to the Parents Association for organising our theme of "Peace in the World" and for organising our participation in the parade. Here are a few photos of our practise for the parade. 

A massive congratulations to our Cumann na mBunscol team on winning their final against Gortnamona NS, who play really well and challenged us. Congratulations to the boys and girls in the senior room for their excellent performance during the game and their teamwork. A big thank you to Ms. Flynn for training the team and her dedication to the team too. 

The children were rewarded with a treat from Tom Doolan with food for the whole school on this great achievement. 

Finally, during the interval break of our Christmas show, the boys and girls received their medals for their achievement. Medals were presented to the children from past pupils and local sporting heroes Charlie Mitchell and Daniel Hand. 

Last Thursday, the whole school put on an amazing Christmas Show, once again! 
The Junior Room put on a brilliant performance on "Room at the Inn" and the Middle and Senior Room performed "Countdown to Christmas" and both both received a standing ovation for both performances.
