THERE was great fun at Gaelscoil Mhic Easmainn on Friday as the older generation came to the school for grandparents day.
It was a chance for the children and indeed the school to show their appreciation for grans and granddads on a day which proves immensely popular every year.
“There’s huge support for the event and the children are so thrilled to have their grandparents present,” said Principal Cáit Uí Chonchúir.

“The pupils put a lot of work into the day with paintings and projects set up around the school hall. The grandparents show up in great numbers year after year, so much so that we have to hold two sessions. We also remember and celebrate grandparents who have passed on and those who can’t make it to the school for various reasons.”
“It coincides with Catholic Schools Week and Lá Fhéile Bhríde so we have made St Brigid’s crosses which were distributed around the hall. We also had the blessing of throats which is helpful to teachers of course!” added Principal Cáit. Scroll down for photos…
