THE all-singing, all-dancing Young Americans were in Gaelcholáiste Chiarraí during the week and on Thursday night they took to the stage with local students for a highly entertaining show at The Rose Hotel.
The Young Americans is a charitable organisation dedicated to the promotion of understanding and goodwill among people throughout the world through music, dance, performance, academic education, and cultural interaction among student members and their audiences. They do not endorse any political or religious agenda.
Deputy Principal, Conall Ó Cruadhlaioch said the Transition Year students have been working hard with them over the past few days and he has seen how positive the experience has been for them.

“They got involved with the students, working with them in small groups and it’s amazing how they brought them together in such a short space of time to be ready for the performance.”
“You would connect what they do with promoting ‘Wellbeing’. The students have all had a positive experience over the past few days, but the quiet students have really come out of themselves and we’ve seen a huge growth in their confidence.”
There was a good crowd there too from families of the students and the host families who put up the Young Americans in their homes during the week really enjoyed the high energy show. Scroll down for photos…
