Tuesday, December 17th was one of the highlights of this school year. A night to celebrate the wonderful talents and gifts of teachers, staff members and pupils as we performed I’m Gonna Shine (Junior – Second Class) and No One Wraps Like an Elf (Third – Sixth Class).

We thank sincerely our teachers, staff members and pupils for their energy, hard work and enthusiasm. This was a special night with so many stories onstage and so much to be proud of. A wonderful team effort, everyone playing a part.

There are so many people we would like to acknowledge and thank for ensuring it was a great success:

A very sincere thank you to Richella O’Connor who worked so hard alongside our teachers preparing for this night. We are so appreciative of her interest, enthusiasm and effort and very grateful of your commitment to us.

To our performers – Mr.Kelly, Ms.Connaghan and Richella who added so much to the night with their performance during the interval. We sincerely appreciate their generosity of time and talent. Thank you also to Adrian McDermott for his support with sound and lighting. Again, this added so much to the evening.

Míle buíochas to Leo Gavin, the CE Scheme and the Charlestown Development Association for their great help before the evening and again after the event. Thank you also to all who helped in any small way in the tidy up after.

To our Parents Association, for their wonderful support on the night and of our school. We are so grateful for their kindness, generosity, wonderful work and interest in the background. Thank you also to all who volunteered to help on the night, this helped greatly with the success of the event.

Finally, thank you to all who travelled and made great efforts to be with us on the night, to our parent body and the wider Charlestown community who as always supported us in such great numbers. It was lovely to be together again and your presence was very much appreciated.
