Dear Parents and Care givers,

We will be having a 'Marvelous Monday' tomorrow with a 'Dress in Yellow Day' to celebrate our Senior Camogie Team's win as County Champions!   Congratulations to every single team member, including our very own P.3 teacher Mrs Kearney! We are so proud of your amazing achievement! We are also super proud of all our past pupils and staff family members who are also on the team!  
Remember, even wearing the school uniform or PE uniform counts as wearing yellow, with our beautiful shirt/ T-shirt!   Up the Yellas!
