We were delighted to host a formal reception in Skibbereen Community School for our Boston Exchange visitors at 2pm on Saturday.
Mr. Tom Foley opened proceedings and our Principal Mr. Anton O’ Mahony welcomed everyone to our reception. Mr. and Mrs. Dave and Liz Grindle, Ms. Siobhan Hunter and Ms. Christine Walsh and 14 students were welcomed. Councillor Karen Coakley gave a few words of welcome.
All students were handed a gift bag each by Ms. Rita O’Connell and Mr. Anton O’Mahony. Our very talented students played Irish traditional music and gave a display of Irish dancing organised by Ms. Colette Brennan.
We were delighted to have Ms. Mary Hegarty, Ms. Helen Dempsey, Ms. Ruth O’Brien, Fr. John Heinhold, Mr. Paul Hayes, Ms. Anne Crowley, Ms. Sandy Gallagher, Mr. Michael Collins TD, Mr. Joe Carroll, Mr. Mike Scannell, Ms. Sandra Flynn and host families.
The students enjoyed a trip to the musical ‘Hi School Musical’ later in the evening in what was a perfect end to a perfect day!
