September and October in the Senior Room
Halloween Sponsored Cycle Event 2022 - A fantastic success once again!
Our annual school Halloween Sponsored Cycle took place on Weds 26th Oct. We were so fortunate with the weather after a wet start to the week but on the day it turned out that we got lucky and we had some decent weather ensuring that the cycle would be a great day.
We added a more fun element this year and gave pupils the chance to go to Cullen Park on any kind of wheels and also that they could choose to decorate the item they are travelling if they wished. Pupils arrived on the day on lots of different wheels and had fantastic fun on their walk to and around Cullen Park. They also had great fun at the park whilst there. The 3 pupils who were given certs and a goody park for the best dressed wheels were Ruairí Flannery, Logan O’ Reilly and Theo Devine Fagan so very well done to the 3 boys!
We also had the very serious task of cycling 7k to Ballykane and a small group of pupils braved this one along with Ms Greene and the parents who volunteered and helped out on the day. The children well and truly proved that we are a very active school and faced the task of a long cycle head on!
Everyone headed back to the school then for some much needed refreshments and Halloween treat bags!
The day was a fantastic success achieved only by the help and volunteering of our parents who were road marshals, who cycled alongside our pupils, who walked and supervised our smaller pupils and who volunteered afterwards to provide refreshments. Thank you to everyone who helped out on the day, we couldn’t of done it without you.
Thank you also to our parent reps who helped in organizing the event and provided the treat bags for our pupils.
It was so lovely to get outside on the day and have some much needed fresh air for everyone!
We are still awaiting all sponsor cards to be returned to the school but once we have a final figure we will let parents know!
Again thank you to everyone for all your help and a huge well done to all our pupils and teachers for taking part in the event.
