Well done to three pupils: Aoife, 4th class, Georgina, 5th class and Sarah also 5th class, who won 3rd place prizes in Monaghan County Museum's History Competition.

They attended a special awards' ceremony in the museum on Friday 28th April with their parents.

Our Parents' Association held its Annual Sponsored Walk on Friday 7th April, the day of the Easter holidays. Proceedings began at 12.30pm when we all gathered in the front playground, clad in our high-vis jackets and ready for the off. We were delighted to be joined also by parents and family members of the children We followed a similar route to last year, but because we'd been absolutely blessed with glorious sunshine, we extended the walk a little to include more of the greenway. On arrival back at the school, each girl received a bag of goodies.Then the winners of the Sponsored Walk Colouring Competition were announced. There were 3 winners in every class, making a total of 27 and each was presented with an Easter Egg from the members of the Parents' Association. Great praise is due to all the members of the PA for their excellent organisation of the event. Thanks also to the parents and relatives who came out and joined us on the day. We are very grateful too to all those who supported us financially by sponsoring the children for this

event. Well done to all concerned!
