Fantastic news has come to us this morning that we have been awarded the 2014 ‘Mayo Meitheal of the Year’ by the Mayo Association in Dublin.

This award is presented annually to a voluntary group organisation based in Mayo who, in the opinion of the adjudicators, has achieved a great distinction or done most for the county, community and its people.

This is a tremendous achievement for our school community and a great honour,which we are delighted to accept. It recognises our fantastic ‘Mayoral Campaign’ emphasising that while the financial rewards were great many other important things became apparent in our community.Co-operation, goodwill, working together,organisation, determination and appreciation of the efforts,skills and generosity of one another were all revealed and will be remembered long after what was raised is spent.

It endorses  that our Mayoral Campaign was a true ‘Meitheal’ and a great example that when we work together towards common goals and aims anything can be achieved.

Presentation of this award will be on Saturday February 8th in the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel (Formerly the Burlington Hotel) in Dublin. Further details of the event will be posted in the coming days and sent home to all our families via a circular.

Well done to everybody on what has been an amazing school and community effort!
