Gaelscoil Mhainistir Na Corann Quiz Night a Great Success Cairde, the parents


association of Gaelscoil Mhainistir Na Corann hosted a very successful table quiz last Monday night in Wallis’. This quiz


was a fundraiser to cov- er the cost of the addi- tional science equipment which has been recently purchased by the school. There was a large


at- tendance on the night


and it was a very social evening with many of our new parents getting to know each other in a social setting. Manning


Groundworks were very generous in sponsoring first prize of four Mahon Point vouchers. We also had a number of other generous sponsors who


provided prizes for our raffle. A full list of spon- sors and winners


will


soon be available on the Cairde Facebook page. The


committee would like to thank everyone


who was involved in the evening, sponsors, organ- isers, participants, raffle ticket sellers and buyers, host Wallis’ parents and


teachers and in particular Caitriona O Driscoll who has organised this quiz over the last


two years


and will be leaving Cairde as a parent this year.
