Gifts4fones
We would like to thank Gifts4fones, a national company that sent us a new and amazing "Interactive White Board" for the old mobile phones that the children, their parents and their teachers collected over the past few months.
We began collecting old mobile phones last March and with a huge collective effort we successfully managed to acheive our goal and have a new smart board fitted in our fifth class room. We are delighted to be able to use this fantastic resource in our school and can see the benefits on a daily basis.
Our Principle, Mr John Slattery and staff would especially like to thank Mr. Noel Butler who co-ordinated this project from Dublin and assisted in giving the school an amazing Christmas present.
