the big bunscoil walk
Last Sunday, 20th October, the Parents’ Council of Bunscoil na Toirbhirte held their annual sponsored walk. This year the focus for fundraising was the purchase of additional resources for the roll out of Aistear in the Infant classrooms.
The weather was glorious and we were thrilled to have such a huge crowd. 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 prizes 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 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!!
