No Uniform Day
As you may be aware the Kilruane McDonagh U14 Camogie club team won the County Final recently and as a result they will be participating in the upcoming Féile competition in Antrim. The Camogie Club are currently fundraising to cover the costs associated with bringing the team to this competition.
The Camogie Club have asked the schools in the parish to hold a no-uniform day, this Friday, 29th May, to help to raise funds.
The Camogie Club have suggested that children might wear Kilruane Club colours, Kilruane Club jersey/shorts or any combination of black and white to school on that day. As it is also a “Tennis Day”, please wear appropriate footwear.
The Camogie Club ask for a small donation €1/€2 per child or whatever you can afford.
On behalf of the Camogie Club we thank you for your support.

Charity CDs
Thank you to all the families who have supported our Ronald McDonald fundraiser to date. CDs are still available through the school office at €10 each. Please place your order as soon as possible so as to avoid disappointment. Please encourage families and friends to purchase additional copies to support this worthy cause.
