Daffodil Day 2021

Today, the Irish Cancer Society’s annual Daffodil Day Fundraiser took place in school.

All children were invited to wear yellow or orange on the day. Also, this year we decided to take on the challenge of running 100k around our track.

We’d like to thank everybody for their generous donations to this very worthy cause. We raised a total of 1740 euro during the day, which truly is an amazing result.

As Daffodil Day coincided with the day of our Easter Holidays, we even had a visit from the Easter Bunny who generously gave Easter Eggs to all pupils of our school.

The Easter Bunny and his very able helpers provided great fun and laughter in all the classes. Thank you kindly for your visit.

Check out the gallery below for a snapshot of our Daffodil Day fundraiser including our dash around the track and the Easter Bunny visit 🌻
