The night itself was a fantastic night of fun, entertainment and spectacular dancing. It took months and months of practice and dedication and to the 28 dancers who made such a hugh sacrifice, the management and staff of St. Mary's say a big THANK YOU. |
LCA students fundraiser for Offaly Hospice Congratulations to the 6th Year LCA Students who ran a very successful cake sale to raise funds for Offaly Hospice. Having heard in class about the great work Offaly Hospice does, the students decided to do something to raise some much needed funds. And so on Friday 20th September the staff and students of St. Mary's were treated to a feast of delectable confectionery baked by the LCA students. On the day they raised €170. Well done to all involved. |
