Friday the 7th October will go down as one of the highlights of this year and we’re only 7 weeks into the new term. An astonishing day of beautiful weather, healthy eating and pupils getting outside and physically active meant that the buzz and hype around the school was simply brilliant.
Thanks to the fantastic support from SimplyFruit in sponsoring a fruit snack for every child and team member in school, we kicked off the day with a delicious healthy breakfast. This was closely followed by Mr. Cullen’s multi sports activity challenge, ably supported by a Healthy Kidz coach Conan. Given that every child (and a good few of the team) in school participated in well over 15 events each, the day proved to be an immense success and one that will be remembered for quite a while.
We want to express our thanks and gratitude to all those who have already returned their Fit2Help Sponsorship forms and remind all others that Friday 14th is the final date for the return of forms to be included in the raffle for the spot prizes.
A special thanks goes to our P6 and P7 classes who played a pivotal leadership role in the organisation, running and delivery of the event. Not only did they help Mr. Cullen setup the activities, but they also led their respective teams, comprising pupils in every year group, throughout the day. They truly are the leaders of the future going by the example they showed today.
And finally, a huge thanks to everyone who helped make today such a huge success and we hope that this event continues to help our school community build lifelong healthy lifestyle habits.
Go raibh maith agaibh.
