Many thanks for the 110 shoeboxes we received for the Christmas Shoebox Appeal. These included boxes from the Marion Social Club. The boxes were collected yesterday and will be making their way to Malawi on Thursday. Our Student Council, Active School Committee and Green School committee helped to bring them to the collection van.

Hallowe’en 2018
It is said that our Celtic ancestors believed that Hallowe’en was the night when the dead revisited our mortal world to carry people away. The Celtic druids would dress up in costumes to disguise themselves as spirits and devils so that if they met other spirits or devils during the night they would not carry them away. This explains why witches and ghosts remain the most popular choices for Hallowe’en costumes.

Congratulations to all our athletes on their wonderful achievements at the Limerick Cross Country Running.
