Well done to our wonderful girls’ football team who won their Cumann na mBunscol Group E Final against a very good Kilcormac/Broughall team today.  In a hard fought and exciting contest the Geashill girls came out on top by 5 points.

Thanks to everyone who turned out today to give great support to the team.

The team enjoyed a well deserved visit to Supermacs on the way back to the school.

Best wishes to Ms. Leonard who gets married on Friday.  Everyone in the school hopes that Kate and John will have a wonderful day with family and friends and that they will enjoy a long, happy and healthy life together.

There was great enthusiasm in 4th Class this week as the children took part in a mock presidential election and referendum.  They took things very seriously and made sure every vote was cast correctly.  Candidates included Papa Smurf, Donald Duck, Roadrunner, Jerry the Mouse and Tweety.  The referendum was to change school starting and finishing times.

The count takes place tomorrow morning!
