As mentioned at the end of the school term in June, Millstreet Parents Association were pleased to announce that through the fundraising and generosity of Millstreet parents and companies we had raised €2000 for each primary school.
This week, the committee met with Joan O’Mahony, principle of Millstreet Presentation National School, and presented the school with the €2000 cheque. The money will be used to assist in the completion of the new basketball court in the girls school.
We also have a €2000 cheque for Scoil Mhuire National School to be presented later this week.
Many thanks again to all the local business groups and parents for assisting in the fundraising for both schools. – Rose Murphy, Anneka Dunne, Claire McCarthy, Sheila Lane.
