Tommy Kirk

It is with great sadness that we have learned this morning of the passing of Tommy Kirk, RIP. 

Tommy was our caretaker and a great friend to us all here in Scoil Mhuire gan Smál.  He went about every job he undertook with dedication and enthusiasm.  He showed a great interest in our school, its environs, in our staff and our pupils.

We all loved Tommy and will miss him greatly.  Suaimhneas síoraí air.

Reverse Advent Calendar

Christmas food drive for St. Patrick’s Parish Soup Kitchen

​Our Greenschools Committee is appealing for food items that can be donated to St Patrick’s Parish Soup Kitchen during the Christmas season.  This is linked in with the Global Goal “Zero Hunger” and what better place to begin than within our local area?

Why a Reverse Advent Calendar?  Because instead of taking a treat from a box each day, you add an item to a box and, at the end, donate the box to The Soup Kitchen.  This will provide food to families in Dundalk, that are in crisis over the Christmas period.

The closing date for donations is Thursday the 15th of December.  Donations can be brought in any day between now and then.  Any non-perishable food is acceptable but there are some suggestions below.  A special area will be set up outside Mrs Kirby’s office for donations.  You can bring in one item, or many items, as every donation is very welcome.

Lighting up the Darkness 2022

RJ Carolan's family are delighted to announce that after receiving sponsorship to cover the costs of lighting their house for Christmas, that this year will be their 3rd year to raise money for charity!  RJ is in Mrs Cumiskey's Senior Infants class.

In 2020, they raised €4,303 for the Dundalk Simon Community. Then in 2021, they raised €8,321.38 for The Rotunda Foundation and the NICU in Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital in Drogheda.

Roisin and Robert are completely blown away to have fundraised this amount for these three organisations -“We would like to thank all who donated online, sent donations and donated to the buckets when they visited. It was such a joy for us to see the cars pulling up, and parents taking photos with their children of the lights, and of our 6ft tall Santa at the gate.”

After the fundraiser in 2021, Roisin and Robert hadn’t planned on doing another fundraiser- they were hoping to take some time out, just to enjoy Christmas with their family, but in August when their dear friend Isabelle passed away after a very tough fight with cancer, it seemed that they had no other option, but to raise money in Isabelle’s memory. In consultation with Isabelle’s husband Paul, the decision was made to raise money for St. James’s Hospital, Dublin, where Isabelle received most of her treatment.

The Carolan family understand that with the cost of living crisis, that people have enough to do with their money, but please donate whatever you can, no matter how little, it will make a difference to somebody.

Be sure to visit and see the lights in person. The Carolan family home is just 5 miles outside Dundalk- Cortial, Kilkerley, Dundalk A91 T671. Make sure and bring the kids and take photos. The lights will be on from 5pm each evening from Friday 2nd of December until the new year.

All proceeds will be donated to St.James’s Hospital Dublin.

The Carolan Family would like to thank their sponsors.  Without their support, this fundraiser couldn’t happen.
