Ms. Crowe along with Ms. Devitt and the staff and students of the centre, are organizing a “colour run” to celebrate the day and to raise funds.  

Our choral group will arrange to provide treats and entertainment to the old folks in some of the local facilities, with the funds raised. 

All classes will take part in the run, on the school sports field at 12.30 p.m. according to the following:
