Congratulations to the 12 elected members of our first ever Student Council. We look forward to a wonderful year ahead! We were delighted to have Cassandra from Goal with us. She delivered "Food for Good" workshops. The workshops challenged us to think about our food and where it comes from. The children have been working on some construction projects on the theme of agriculture. Some lovely work is on display in the middle room.

We were delighted to welcome the Minister for Education, Norma Foley to our school. Councillor Damien Ryan and Lisa Chambers, T.D. visited too. In Ms. Muldoon's room they watched our film "Cross, the Place we Call Home" and were treated to a lovely rendition of "Oró se do Bheatha Bhaile" The Minister was presented with some beautiful flowers and a book about our local area. The children from Ms. Geraghty's room performed a song named "Míonna na Bliana" and the children from Ms. Presnail's room recited a poem called "Duilleoga deasa deasa". We were presented with a Cineáltas flag. It was a lovely, happy occasion. ART DisplaysOur school is bursting with colour this autumn with beautiful art in the corridors and classrooms.

We have been very busy over the last while. The Middle and Senior classes went to Bay Sports in Athlone for a super school tour. Fifth and Sixth class were so proud to present a cheque for 2000 euro to the Cancer Fund for Children. They had raised that fantastic amount through their Bake Sale. We had a jam-packed Active Week consisting of Power Soccer and Drumadore workshops, Sports Day, Orienteering, a blitz in the Neale N.S. and our week was topped off by a visit from our past pupil, Tom Lydon, who is the current vice captain of the Mayo Under 17s. The last day of the term was bittersweet as we said goodbye to our lovely sixth class and we wish them well in the future. Check out our photos!!!!
