On Wednesday 23 rd October, the Parents Association Annual Fundraiser took place at our school –
Ciaran from Younger Fitter was present to organise the days event along with the parents’
association who gathered all the sponsorship cards and organised the eagerly awaited raffle draw
which saw great prizes on offer such as campervan holidays, theme park entry, concert tickets and
much more.
The children ran the full marathon relay in 2 hours 56 minutes – all of them running their own race
whilst taking part in some healthy competition between the classes also.
There was great excitement and the event was truly enjoyed by all.
We were thrilled to raise just shy of 10,000 EURO which exceeded all our expectations and will go a
long way to fund our ICT needs for the school year 24/25. Over 40% of the funds were raised by our
school community and we are so grateful to our wonderful pupils and parents for such unwavering
enthusiasm, generosity and kindness. We are sure you will agree that for a small school – this is an
unbelievable achievement. It was such a success we have booked Ciaran from Younger Fitter to
come again next year so this promises to be an annual event!!!
The remaining money was donated by local businesses – whose kindness and encouragement means
so much to us all, we feel very lucky to have such supportive local businesses in our vicinity. For
