Ms. Geraghty, Mr Reilly and and the pupils from 6 th Class visited Sunhill Nursing Home and the Ferrard Centre in Clogherhead yesterday. It was a fantastic outing and the pupils sang Christmas Songs and ballads for the residents and day visitors. Everyone really enjoyed the experience and we are planning to revisit in June 2015. Well done to all involved. Below are pictures of our visit.
Non Uniform Day for Vincent de Paul

Today,11th December, we held a non uniform day with a Christmas theme in aid of the local conference of the Vincent de Paul.  Everyone looked great in their Christmas jumpers, Santa hats and so much more.  Even more importantly, through your generosity, €900 was raised which will go directly to families in need in our local area this Christmas.

In our School we try to help others in our community.

Mr Reilly brought his 4th Class to the local nursing home. The children sang traditional songs for the residents and they really enjoyed the experience. The residents were delighted to see the children and hear them sing many old  songs that they knew. Elvis even made an appearance. Click on the photos on the right to see our visit to Sunhill Nursing Home.
On 27th March 2014, S. N. Muire gan Smál, Cartown ran a Pyjama Day at school in aid of the “A Chance for Alice” fund.  Children and teachers embraced the spirit of the day and came to school dressed in pyjamas of all styles, shapes and sizes, and a fun day was had by all.  Parents, teachers and children contributed to the day and a total of €1632 was raised for Alice.  Well done to all.

Helping Others

Every year, the staff and pupils of SN Muire gan Smál like to make small contributions to different organisations and causes in our local community and further afield.  In December, we had a non-uniform day for our local SVP branch which raised over €750.

Mr Reillys’ Fourth class visited our local nursing home at Christmas and we sang carols for the residents. It was an enjoyable experience for all.

We held a bazaar in our school in April '13 and we raised €1,550 some of which went to the Sunni Mae Trust to help Lily Mae Morrison in her battle with Neuroblastoma.

 Mrs Griffin organised a very successful sponsored walk for juniors and seniors which raised €1,200 for the Jack & Jill Foundation.

 Ms. Moores’ Sixth class and Ms. Harmon and Ms.  Mc Donald's Second classes donated a portion of their Confirmation and First Communion money and the staff also donated towards our local palliative care team.

 On Friday, 26th April '13 we held a Skipathon in school and the funds raised €1,400 towards the Irish Heart Foundation.
