Community spirit is alive and well in Bruckless
€1,307 was raised for Pieta House
Staff and students from Bruckless National School organised a community fundraiser for the recent Darkness into Light Walk to raise funds for Pieta House.
A walk was hosted and a coffee morning was held after in the school. This was the second year the community gathered to walk at 4.15am to complete the walk and have some refreshments after.
"A special word of thanks to the community, school staff, students and other people who helped at the event by marshalling, organising and cleaning up, donating refreshments and in any other way to make the event safe and successful. We look forward to making this an annual event for our school and community," said principal, Dáire Diver.
The school is delighted to announce that €1,307 was raised for Pieta House through online donations to the fundraising page and donations made at the coffee morning.
"This has been the penultimate event in the school applying for the Amber Flag. We were delighted to receive the news that our work over the past year has been recognised and we have been awarded our first Amber Flag.
"This initiative promotes a culture of learning and positive student well-being in schools. The school strives to cultivate a culture that prioritises learning and well-being for all members of the school community," added principal Diver.
