MÓRSHIÚIL LÁ LE PÁDRAIG – ST. PATRICK’s DAY PARADE 2025
Comhghairdeas le na páistí go léir a ghlac páirt sa Pharáid. Bhí an-áthas orainn an corn don scoil is fearr a bhuachaint. Tuillte go maith, bhí an cur i láthair agus líon na ndaoine a ghlac páirt ar fheabhas. Míle buíochas dona baill foirne agus an slua mór tuismitheoirí a chabhraigh linn ar an lá, chomh maith le gach duine a chabhraigh linn na frapaí a dhearadh. Maith sibh!
Congratulations to all the children who took part in the parade. It was great to win the prize for the best school! Well deserved, the display and participation were fantastic! Many thanks to the staff members and the large number of parents who helped out on the day, as well as all who helped prepare and design the props in the week leading up to the Parade. Well done all!
