There was lots of Irish singing, dancing, and music being played for the afternoon.

We had a big celebration for our 4th Green flag On Tuesday, the senior infants, First and Second classes gathered together at the front of the school to watch our caretaker , Fran, put up our green flag.

We looked at maps of our local area and had a big discussion about how we come to school. Each of us traced the roads we come through every day on our own special map. Most people park and ride to our school and that is super! A lot more of us are scooting and cycling since we began working on our Travel flag.

It is super to see many more bicycles and scooters coming into the school grounds. We have a huge amount of people moving together at 8:40am and 2:25 and 2:30. We would like to make this as safe as possible for the good of all our community. Every class has been visited and asked to hop off their scooter or bike and walk in from the church onwards.
