Ms. O’ Halloran’s class held a cake sale today to raise money for Coolmine Rehab Centre. Ms O’Halloran tells us that the children contribute a portion of their pocket money each week to charity. She has a jar on her desk and they pop any spare change they have into it. They have already raised over €90 but today they had a huge cake sale to add even more cash to the jar. They all brought cakes and buns in and turned the classroom into a cake shop. Other third class pupils came to buy their produce and also to take part in a raffle. Well done to everyone involved.
