Sponsored Walk October 2018
Yesterday, on Sunday 21st October, the Parents’ Council of Bunscoil na Toirbhirte held their annual sponsored walk. This year the focus for fundraising was the purchase of a second set of iPads for the pupils.
Most of the children had dressed up for this special occasion and a number of brave adults had ventured forth in costume also. On return to school there was a raffle for three Art sets for the young people who had walked and there was a draw for two hampers for the adult walkers. Most people availed of the welcome refreshments in the Halla afterwards; a cuppa and biscuits for the adults and a drink and sweets for the children. We were also treated to a delicious selection of hot food produced by Shakeela Dar, ably aided by Amina, Shafa and Habiba. It was a very enjoyable occasion for everyone who took part, and afforded families an opportunity to meet each other in a social context.
The Parents’ Council would like to thank everyone who took part in the walk, helped with the registration, stewarding along the route and the provision of refreshments afterwards. They would also like to thank everyone who sponsored the children in this worthy fundraiser. We're looking forward to next year already!!
