Sewing Bee

I made a second visit to The Family Centre to see the mixed media class in progress. Priscilla Sweeney teaches this class and the students are working on some beautiful crafty projects.

Sewing projects, patchwork, felting and  stained glass were just some of the skills I saw.

We’re going to the dogs

The staff and pupils at Presentation Secondary School are planning a big night out on Friday May 2. We are all heading off to the Kingdom Greyhound track in Tralee for a night of fun and dog racing. There will be something for everyone on the night, with bouncy castle, face painting and lots of spot prizes. First race is at 7.50p.m. Tickets €10 from the school or at the turnstile on the night.
