Fire Safety Visit 2024!

Congratulations to Jack and Brandon on winning the long jump and Jack winning the sprint races at the Schools Athletics in the Aura Leisure Centre recently

On Tuesday Rang a 3 were visited by three firemen from Letterkenny Fire Station who spoke about fire safety in the home and the importance of regular fire drills. They wanted to remind everyone to have a Test it Tuesday every week to check the batteries in our fire alarms

3rd and 4th class went on their sponsored walk today. What a glorious day! Even the sun made an appearance ☀️
