St Brigid's Weekend was an important time for Melview National School. By selling St Brigid's crosses in Longford town, sixth class pupils were able to give Longford Hospice a cheque of €1500. Students' grandparents also visited the school on the Friday to mark Grandparents' Day. Photos were taken by Shelley Corcoran and we hope you enjoy this gallery.
