Active School Flag & Tidy Town Clean Up Day

For our Active School Flag and also while working with the Athenry Tidy Town volunteers, 3rd to 6th class took part in our first ever,

 BIG CLEAN UP DAY! 

At 11:30 all classes got their coats, high visibility vests and rubber gloves on. Off we went outside to start tidying around the school with Celia, Helen and Pat from the Tidy Towns committee. The 3rd & 4th class went out to the school garden & carpark, the 4th & 5th class went to Templemoyle & 6th tidied from the school down to the pitch. A few of the 'interesting' items found were socks, tic tacs, bird feathers, a wheel, wet tissue & a t-shirt. 

A very big "THANK YOU" to all the teachers & staff members for their help in making the day such a success. 

Míle buíochas to Celia, Helen, Pat for taking time out of their day to help us. It was very kind of you to join us and help out. 

Thanks to Sharon from the Athenry News & Views who came to take photos while we were busy making our school a nicer place to learn and play in. 

Thanks also to Gabe Cronnelly for providing bags, pickers and gloves for us.

We had a very busy day because we made pancakes for pancake Tuesday afterwards. 

A productive day, indeed!
