‘Pancake Fundraiser’
On 9th February Murhur N.S. celebrated Shrove Tuesday. We made pancake batter with a few helpers. Children measured the ingredients – whisked and stirred the batter. Mrs. Quill fried a few. The smell was amazing! Caroline and Mary Ita outdid themselves with 3 pancakes for each child. All children donated to the Stack Brothers Soccer Wheelchair Fund.
Healthy Breakfast Party
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day! So the children in Mrs. Quill’s room decided to bring their breakfast to school. Imagine that! We had cereal, toast, fruit and yogurt. Yum, Yum. Eating healthy early in the morning helps us concentrate for longer. That and our healthy lunches really help fuel our bodies for our days work and of course our O.T. run!!

Cian holds an empty white page, representing the young mind that each day develops and grows both intellectually and spiritually. The Celtic cross crest on the school uniform jumper reminds us of the long tradition of Christianity in our area. The three candles represent the children in each classroom.
