With the St. Patrick’s Day approaching pupils in Ballyraine NS in Letterkenny decided to abandon their school uniforms for the day and to search out their best ‘Green fashion items’ from the wardrobe to celebrate the St. Patrick’s Day festival.
The pupils had been very aware of the war and human suffering in Ukraine in recent days and they wanted to do something to help and support.
Blue skies, smiling faces and a sea of green heralded the St.Patrick’s Day holiday on our ‘Go Green for Ukraine Day’.
Donations kept pouring in throughout the day and a massive €2,100 was raised through the generosity of parents, staff and pupils.
The donations have now been given to The Irish Red Cross Appeal in Ukraine.
A huge well-done to everyone involved.
