This Sunday, May 29, will be a Mega School Reunion, a trip down memory lane to remember all the good times, and good people, who have been part of the school over the last 154 years.In the run up to this special day the school community has been hard at work planning the event. It will begin with a special mass at 1pm, at the school, before all are invited to take a trip down memory lane. A highlight of the day will be the launch of a book detailing the 154-year history of the school. Compiled by current teacher Martina Griffin and former principal Frank McKenna, the book is jam-packed with articles and photographs going back over the years. There will also be fun activities for the kids, light refreshments and music by Mush Molloy. Martina thanked the School Closure Committee members for giving up their time, for their assistance in planning the event and their valuable input and ideas throughout. This committee included local Fine Gael Councillor Joe Lyons, former school principals Frank McKenna and Majella Gleeson, Eddie Bourke who represented the Edmund Rice School Trust, the school’s current management team Principal Joe Brennan and Deputy Canice Hickey and staff members Catherine Rice-Kelly, Emer Hickey, Julia Ova and Lorraine O’Shea.
