THREE students from Mercy Mounthawk have shown great entrepreneurial spirit to come up with a Christmas product to help raise funds for a worthy cause.
Katie Nagle from Ballyroe along with Caherslee girls Amy O’Mahony and Jenny Fox, are Transition Years who decided to enter the Young Entrepreneurs Programme under the name JAK Christmas Cards.

For their project, they decided to create seasonal cards with a Tralee theme. One card features a snowy Grand Hotel with a robin in the foreground, while the other features an image of the Ashe Memorial Hall lit up for Christmas.
They are also donating a percentage of the proceeds to Kerry Cancer Support Group/Kerry-Cork Health Link Bus.
The cards will be sold in Mercy Mounthawk, Caballs Toymaster on Bridge Street, That’s Perfect on The Mall, at craft fairs and on you might see them on the streets too outside Penneys. They cost €8 for a pack of 10 cards and look great (see below).
