They bring lots of information and ideas back to their committee members and will share their experience at next week's assembly.

Cycle & Climb Coffee Morning at St. Andrew's N.S.

We were delighted to host a coffee morning on Friday 5th of September for the Cycle and Climb fundraiser. We raised €300. The cyclists were delighted with the children's artwork and their enthusiastic send off. Thank you to all who came to support.
The cyclists successfully completed the cycle on Saturday and they climbed Croagh Patrick on Sunday morning. Former St. Andrew's teacher Ms McWalter organised posters, welcoming the Meath cyclists, to be displayed in the local school at the base of Croagh Patrick. Comhghairdeas le gach duine!
