GENEROUS pupils, staff and parents at Scoil Eoin Balloonagh have surpassed themselves this year in helping those less fortunate.
Every year the school take part in the Team Hope Christmas Shoeboxes campaign and this year has proved the most successful to date with 380 boxes collected, each bursting at the seams with gifts.
The Student Council members along with their coordinator Mrs. Carol Anne O’Donoghue and
SNA Grace Hobbert organised the appeal in aid of Team Hope, a charity that works to help children affected by poverty in Eastern Europe and Africa.

Every year thousands of gift filled shoeboxes are sent from Ireland. It is very appealing to young children when they realise that their carefully selected items will be given directly to a child in need.
Team Hope Representatives Brigid and Paddy Hegarty from Listowel collected all of the boxes from Scoil Eoin and had to make a few trips due to the amount of boxes. The school has thanked al involved and are already looking forward to next year.
