PUPILS and staff in St John’s Parochial School Tralee are inviting friends and families from near and far to join them on Sunday, May 28, for a family fun run in Tralee Town Park.

Hot on the heels from celebrating World Mile Day recently, the shoes are being laced-up to raise funds to build a playground for the children within the safety of the school grounds.

The Principal of St John’s Parochial School, Mike O’Toole, said: “The pupils and teachers have been hitting the park since last September to run and soak up the benefits of exercise and social interaction.”

“The children have been completing the 2K loop used by the junior parkrun, with teachers stationed along the route to offer encouragement. While we do record our results, we emphasize that each student is running against their personal best and that the focus is on effort and enjoyment. We have a vibrant school community in St John’s and one of our next goals is raise the necessary funds to develop a playground for the children to enjoy during their breaktime.”
