Action Day 2009

Great News! Our very first Action Day is being held on Wednesday 4th February. On this day, all the classes in the school will be "Spring Cleaning", picking litter and making sure the whole school looks spic and span. The Coiste Glas will be taking photos of the big clean up on the day, so tune in next week to see how we got on!

A New Year....A Green Year!


Fáilte ar ais to everyone. We hope everyone enjoyed Christmas and that all all the paper, plastic, packaging etc. were put in the correct bins!
Remember the 3 R's: Reduce-Reuse-Recycle.
In December we sent 65 mobile phones off to be recycled. This generated €195 for Trócaire. To read about the great work trocaire do, log on to www.trocaire.ie

Our battery collection box is also full to the brim and due to be emptied this week. We haven't counted the batteries, but we know that are a few hundred batteries in there! It is great that all these batteries are being recycled, as batteries should never go to landfill, due to their toxic ingredients.
