Rith 2016 is a national festival that will take place between 4 and 14 March 2016 as one of the main events of Seachtain na Gaeilge (Irish language week). A 700km course has been laid out for a massive relay-race run, running from morning to night, from Cill Droichead (Celbridge) in Kildare, around the country to finish at the GPO on O Connell Street, Dublin. A special hand-carved baton has been designed that will carry a hidden message throughout Rith 2016. At the end of the run, the message of support for the Irish language will be read out, followed by a party to remember! The Sligo leg of Rith 2016 will be held on Thursday, March 10 from 1pm and children from the school will participate. We would also encourage parents to get involved (a gentle run at lunchtime!) and we will send you more details during the next week. The Sligo co-ordinator for the event is one of our own parents, Ian O’Seibhlinn
