A chairde go leir,

Green Schools:

We are delighted that our application for renewal of the international Green Flag has been successful. Congratulations to all the children for the great efforts they are making in keeping our school free of

litter and for their recycling efforts. Well done especially to the Green School committee who spearheaded the various activities. They have now started on the road towards attaining their next Green Flag for energy awareness and savings.
