SCOIL Eoin Balloonagh will host their first ever Festive Fair in the school hall on Sunday, November 27 from 12-5pm.
It promises to be an enjoyable day for all the family to get into the magical spirit of Christmas. The event is being organised and run voluntarily by the Parents Association and a group of teachers from the school.
The event is open to everyone, not just school patrons, and will include a variety of festive novelties, gifts, decorations, handmade crafts, baked goods, hot chocolates and treats.
There will be spot prizes kindly donated by local businesses given out throughout the event with raffle tickets bought on the day. Most of the classes in the school will also be putting on special performances at the fair to add to the Christmas atmosphere.

Santa Claus will be there in his special grotto where families can get a professional photo taken, at a very reasonable price, by photographer John Walsh who is very kindly donating his services.
There will be music, fun and activities for kids to enjoy. The organisers ask that all children attending be accompanied by an adult at the fair.
The members of the Scoil Eoin Parents Association with support from the teachers have been organizing the event for quite some time and many other parents of children in the school have got involved by volunteering their time to help run the fair.
It is a school community effort and the parents hope that everyone can come along on the day to support the school. This is a fundraising event and proceeds will go towards science and sports equipment for the children of the school.
