Tipperary school staff host successful coffee morning in aid of two charities

Staff at a Tipperary school, St John the Baptist National School in Cashel, held a coffee morning recently to raise funds for two organisations, Hospice and Daffodil Day.

Cal Flavin representing South Tipperary and West Waterford Hospice and Lucy Ryan, Chairperson of Cashel Daffodil Day spoke at the event.

Staff were delighted to welcome the family of SNA, Una Kinnane from Templemore, who passed away last summer, to come to visit the school.

Last December, the school held a "Colour Day" to raise funds to purchase a memory bench for Una.

They raised enough funds to purchase two benches and it was a lovely occasion for Una's mother, Peg, sister, Anna and daughter, Sarah to come to Cashel and get a glimpse of her career at St John the Baptist BNS.
