During Lent, the school chose Mary’s Meals as our Lenten charity. Collection mugs were placed in every classroom and were filled — and refilled — with generous donations from pupils and staff alike. Not only did this make a significant contribution to our fundraising total, but the school was also buzzing with wonderful entrepreneurial projects organised by the children. Among the many creations were earrings, loom band bracelets, and keychains, all made and sold to raise additional funds for the charity. When Pat and Fionnuala from Mary’s Meals visited the school to collect the cheque, they were overwhelmed and delighted to receive the staggering sum of £500 — enough to feed 26 children every school day for an entire year. Well done to everyone involved for such a fantastic achievement.
