Dear Parent/Guardians, Daffodil Day is a very significant day for our school. You may be aware that, this year, the Irish Cancer Society has cancelled all public fundraising due to the outbreak of Covid-19. This is the first time in a number of years that we are unable to fundraise as a school. Fortunately, those who wish to donate can do so online and our staff members have already made personal contributions. We understand the extremely difficult circumstances at this time but we would encourage anyone who has a spare few euro to go online and donate what you can to this great cause. https://www.cancer.ie/ Check out this super work by Christian- well done :)
